If one lamp connects between two phases it will glow or not?

If the voltage between the two phase is equal to the lamp voltage then the lamp will glow. When the voltage difference is big it will damage the lamp and when the difference is smaller the lamp will glow depending on the type of lamp...

What are the differences between an alternator and a generator?

Alternator and generator, both devices have the same basic functionality. They both convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and they both have the same principal of electromagnetic induction. The main and only difference between these two devices lies in the construction. Alternator has a stationary armature and a rotating magnetic field for high voltages, while generator uses stationary magnetic field and rotating conductor which rolls on the armature with slip ring...

What is the difference between neutral and earth ?

Neutral is a return current path for equipments ad earthing is protection for humans. Earth is a support for neutral. If neutral is not present,the equipment that we are using get in full phase and we will get a shock.so earthing is done to avoid such shocks....

Why Delta/Star Transformers are used for Lighting Loads?

Neutral conductor is must for lighting loads and hence the secondary of transformer must be a star winding To minimize the current unbalance in the primary we use delta winding in the primary so delta/star transformer is used for lighting loads...

Why link is provided in neutral of an ac circuit and fuse in phase of ac circuit?

Neutral is the return path for current in an electrical circuit. So if you put a fuse on the neutral and link on the phase, then your equipment will burn before neutral fuse burn. That means no use and there won't be any protection for the equipment but you can use fuse on both if you want.but you are increasing the chance of circuit incompletion because in any case if neutral fuse disconnected you will lose the circuit. So no need of...

What is the difference between 3-point & 4- point starter ?

What is the difference between 3-point & 4- point starter ? The basic difference between between 3-point and 4-point starter is the connection of no volt coil(NVC). In 3-point starter NVC is connected in series with field winding,  while in 4-point starter NVC is connected independently across the supply through fourth terminal called (L-). ...

Why in a three pin plug earth pin is thicker and longer than other two pins ?

Why in a three pin plug earth pin is thicker and longer than other two pins ? Resistance, R=pL/A Where R= resistance            p= resistivity of the material            L= area of cross-section of wire A is inversely proportional to R, so if A increases R decreases,so leakage current will easily take low resistance path.(this is the reason to make earth pin thicker) For safety purpose...

What will happen if dc supply is given to primary of transformer ?

What will happen if dc supply is given to primary of transformer ? First of all, transformer wont work on dc supply and we wont get any induced emf in secondary because there won't be any change in flux with dc supply,  hence there won't be faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.  With dc supply, there is no inductance only a small value of resistance will be offered,so the primary current will be quite high and much more than rated primary load current.This will burn the insulation of coil and transformer will be damage...

Why we use a capacitor in an electric fan?

Why we use a capacitor in an electric fan? Answer: 1. Capacitor is used for both starting the electric fan and improving power factor. 2. The voltage taken by the fan during running has lagging power factor and in order to run the fan we need leading power factor. The capacitor increases the power factor. So we use capacitor in fan to increase its power factor. 3. To give a quick start-up for any instrument, capacitor is used in electronics,...
