Fuses and Circuit Breakers (CB) are used for the protection of power system. These along with other protective equipment like relays, isolater, switches, are collectively called as switchgear(switching equipment used in power systems).

The basic function is to break the circuit in case of faulty conditions so as to protect the power system equipment and auxiliaries.

FUSE is a low resistance device which is placed in the circuit for protection. Under faulty conditions when the current becomes more than the desired value, then due to the increase in temperature the fuse wire melts and breaks, thus breaking the circuit. These are used for lower power ratings and can be used only once, after that it has to be replaced with a new one.

CIRCUIT BREAKER also solves the same purpose i.e. it breaks the circuit when the fault occurs. These are used for large ratings and in the power systems and auxiliaries. CB also has the capability to re-close after the fault is through i.e. when the system gets healthy. The CB has two parts/contacts one is static and the other is moving(the one responsible for making or breaking the contacts).When the contacts of CB separate, then it said to have tripped. Tripping of the circuit breaker has to be very fast so as to avoid the arc formation between the two contacts, otherwise it will defeat the purpose of installing the CB. The trip signal is given to the CB by an other protective device called as an ELECTRICAL RELAY. CB’s are categorized on the basis of the power ratings and the medium used to extinguish the arc formed during the breaking of the contacts.

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traffic moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traffic ligh
bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

Consider a venturi with a small hole drilled in the side of the throat. This hole is connected via a tube to a closed reservoir.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(P_1-P_2)=1913.31 N/m^2

Explanation:

given:

\frac{A_t}{A_1}=0.85

V_1=90 m/s

γ∞=1.23 kg/m^3

solution:

since outside pressure is atm pressure vaccum can be defined by (P_1-P_2)

V_1=√2(P_1-P_2)/γ∞[\frac{A_t}{A_1}^2-1]

(P_1-P_2)=1913.31 N/m^2
