Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

Float switches are used to start or stop a pump motor according to the changes in the liquid (water) level in a sump or tank. These are connected to a pump motor for sump pumping or tank operations.

If the sump is in full condition, it is required to start the pumping operation in order to empty the sump. To start the pumping operation, the float rises first and then the float switch contacts are closed. When the float switch contacts are closed, the pumping operation starts quickly in the system.

If the sump is in empty condition, it is required to stop the pumping operation in order to fill the sump. To stop the pumping operation, the float lowers first and then the float switch contacts are opened. The float lowers either directly or through a motor starter. When the float switch contacts are opened, the pumping operation stops quickly in the system.

Conclusion:

Thus, the operations required to pump sumps are explained.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

If a tank is in full condition, it is required to stop the motor operation in order to empty the tank. To stop the motor operation, the float rises first and then the float switch contacts are closed. When the float switch contacts are closed, the motor driven pump is stopped immediately in the system.

If the tank is in empty condition, it is required to start the motor operation in order to fill the tank. To start the motor operation, the float lowers first and then the float switch contacts are opened. When the float switch contacts are opened, the motor operation starts immediately in the system.

Conclusion:

Thus, the operations required to fill tanks are described.

Answer True or False, then correct errors or explain if any: 1. The term pole in filter terminology refers to the feedback circuit. 2, A voltage shunt feedback with Ai-10, A-20, p 0.45, then Aif will be 1. 3. The integrator Op-Amp circuit can be used to produce square waves. 4. The equivalent circuit of the crystal oscillator is series and parallel (R, C) components. 5. The transistor in a class A power amplifier conducts for the entire input cycle. 6. Bypass capacitors in an amplifier determine the low and high-frequency responses. 7. The midrange voltage gain of an amplifier is 100. The input RC circuit has a lower critical frequency of 1 kHz. The actual voltage gain at f- 100 Hz is 100. 8. The Bessel filter types produce almost ripple frequency response. 9. RC phase shift oscillators are based on both positive and negative feedback circuits. 10. In a high-pass filter, the roll-off region occurs above the critical frequency,
Q.1. Answer True or False and correct errors if found 1. In a certain Op-Amp. if Ad=3500, Ac=0.35, the CMRR=100dB. 2. The voltage series feedback can increase both input and output impedances. 3. A two-pole Sallen-Key high-pass filter contains one capacitor and two resistors. 4. The main feature of a crystal oscillator is the high frequency operation. Each transistor in a class B power amplifier conducts for the entire input cycle. ✓ The Q-point must be centered on the load line for maximum class A output signal swing 7. The differentiator Op-Amp can convert the triangle waveform into sinewave. ✗Class AB power amplifier eliminates crossover distortion found in pure class A. 9. Wien-bridge oscillators are based on positive feedback circuits. 10. The band-reject filter is composed of multiplication of LPF and HPF.
