What is the current read by the ammeter in the circuit below? Let R1 = 1 kiloohm, R2 = 2 kiloohm, R3 = 3 kiloohm, and the emf of the ideal source is 5 volts. Input R1, R2, and R3 for resistors R1, R2, and R3 respectively. Input E for the emf E. Use context clues to figure out if you need to input a numerical value, variable, word, etc. All numerical answers should be in three significant figures. R1 R2 R3 First we calculate the current across each resistor. From Ohm's law, we arrive at a general formula for current:
Protection System
A system that protects electrical systems from faults by isolating the problematic part from the remainder of the system, preventing power from being cut from healthy elements, improving system dependability and efficiency is the protection system. Protection devices are the equipment that are utilized to implement the protection system.
Predictive Maintenance System
Predictive maintenance technologies are designed to assist in determining the state of in-service equipment so that maintenance can be scheduled. Predictive maintenance is the application of information; proactive maintenance approaches examine the condition of equipment and anticipate when it should maintain. The purpose of predictive maintenance is to forecast when equipment will fail (depending on a variety of parameters), then prevent the failure through routine and corrective maintenance.Condition monitoring is the continual monitoring of machines during process conditions to maintain optimal machine use, which is necessary for predictive maintenance. There are three types of condition monitoring: online, periodic, and remote. Finally, remote condition monitoring allows the equipment observed from a small place and data supplied for analysis.
Preventive Maintenance System
To maintain the equipment and materials on a regular basis in order to maintain those running conditions and reduce unnecessary shutdowns due to unexpected equipment failure is called Preventive Maintenance (PM).
![Plugging in values, the current across the resistor R1 is equal to: (Please note that the current is in milliamperes)
mA
Similarly the current across R2 is:
12 =
mA
And the current across R3 is:
13 =
The current read by the ammeter is the sum of the currents across each resistor:
1=l+/2+l3
mA
Alternatively, we can solve for the current across the ammeter by first calculating the equivalent resistance and then applying Ohm's law.
The equivalent resistance of the three resistors in parallel is:
1/Reg =1/R1+1/R2 +1/
Thus,
