    input resistance of transformer based power supply

    When I measured the input resistance of some 230V AC to 12V DC transformer based power adapters, I got around 400 ohms. Isn't this quite high for the resistance of the primary winding? I expected no more than 100 ohms. The adapters are low power though (output power< 10W). (Background story: I...

    AC resistance of an inductor?

    I measured the AC resistance of my customized inductor with network analyzer of core E70. I got 23mohms AC resistance and 2.3mohm DCR for 14uH inductor with 8 number of turns using litz wire(1400) of 4.3mm diameter. I also got 30mohm AC resistance and 11mohm DCR for 54uH inductor with 16 number...

    Current limiter for fan

    Hey, I'm am trying to use computer fans for other purpose, I tried hooking one up to a 12v power source and it blew up. The fan was rated 12v, but 0.37A and I used a 12v, 2A power supply, I thought the fan would use only the current it needs, but I was obviously wrong. So my question is can I...

    Why would an underground conductor experience a voltage drop?

    Hello I'm a student and I have conducted an experiment where I buried a wire underground. Since there are many underground conductors in Seoul(where I live), I've always thought whether metal substances from the earth would effect the conductor's transmission. If the magnetic fields of the...

    busbar current capacity

    Hi, I wonder how a maximum current rating for wires and busbars are calculated. How the maximum current rating for busbars are calculated, is there any standard for this. I used a copper busbar for my motor connection. but i need how much max current can be passed through it, is there any...

    Generator protection, calculating resistance for protection

    A 20kV, 100VA generator is protected by differential protection. 70% of the winding will be protected against the phase. What is the value of resistance to be located at the "Neutral to Ground" protection if the relay operates 30% out of the balance current? Below are my steps to the solution...

    Finding an unknown resistance

    Hello. This may be a simple problem, but I'm struggling to obtain the resistance R found in the figure below. First what's throwing my are the two voltage sources. I'm used to seeing these present in op-amps, but the way they intersect is throwing me. I'm not sure how to determine their...
