Answer:

overcurrent

Explanation:

It is any electrical current in excess of the nominal value indicated in the protection device, in the electrical equipment or in the current carrying capacity of a conductor. The overcurrent can be caused by an overload, a short circuit or a ground fault.

The overcurrent raises the operating temperature in the different elements of the electrical installation where this presentation is.

An overcurrent can be an overload or electric shock current.

<u>Overload</u>: the overload current is an excessive current in relation to the nominal operating current. It occurs in drivers and other components of a distribution system. Overloads are in most cases, more frequent between a range of one to six times the nominal current level. They are caused by temporary increases in current and occur when the motors start or when the transformers are energized.

Electric shock: as the name implies, a electric shock current is one that flows out of the normal conduction pathways. Electric shock or fault currents can be hundreds of times greater than the nominal operating current.

Which of the following has nothing to do with insulating glass? Group of answer choices
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Tempered glass

Explanation:

Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled

thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension . Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (a.k.a. annealed glass) does. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.

Question 5 (20 pts) The rated current of a three-phase transmission line is 300 A. The currents flowing by the line are measured
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Question 1.

The secondary current of 250/5 amps CT when 300 amps(rated current of transmission line ) flow in TL is

(5/250 ) X 300 = 6 amps

Question 2

The correct answer to this second question is yes, when Over current relay coil will operate and relay contacts gets close, if the pickup value( Ip) of relay is set as 6 amps in relay. ( because primary current of TL is 1.2 times of CT primary)

Question 3

Tap Block figure (Fig 1) is not available/uploaded in your question.

How does error detection take place
sattari [20]

Answer: To detect and correct errors, additional bits are added to the data bits at the time of transmission. The additional bits are called parity bits. They allow detection or correction of errors. The data bits along with the parity bits form a code word.

The town of Mustang, TX is concerned that waste heat discharged from a new up- stream power plant will decimate the minnow popul
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Yes the water will be safe at the point of cooling water discharge

Explanation:

Power losses in plant= 350- 350×0.35=227.5MW

Rate of heat rejection to stream= 0.75× 227.5= 170.625MW

Rate of heat rejection= rate of flow of water× c × ΔT

170625000= 150000000× 4.186 × (Final temperature- 20)

Final temperature= 20.3 ◦C

The final temperature of stream will be 20.3 ◦C. Thechange is very small so the minnows will be able to handle this temperature.

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b
scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.
