What are some applications of temperature-actuated switches?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
List the applications of a temperature-actuated switch.
Explanation of Solution
Temperature-actuated switch uses a mechanism that is used to sense and measure the temperature. The temperature switch works on the basis of the temperature variation occurring in an enclosed place or in an open area. The switch can be actuated when the specific or limited temperature range is reached. For example, thermal overload relay is the temperature switch used for the motor protection. Mostly used in control circuits.
The applications of temperature actuated switches are as follows:
- Heaters.
- Blowers.
- Fans.
- Solenoid valves.
- Pumps.
Conclusion:
Thus, the applications of the temperature-actuated switches are listed.

The voltage levels being considered include 345 kV, 500 kV, and 765 kV. For a preliminary design based on the practical line loadability, you may assume the following surge impedances 345 kV Zc=320 2 500 kV Zc=290 765 kV Zc=265 The line wavelength may be assumed to be 5000 km. The practical line loadability may be based on a load angle of 35º. Assume |Vs| = 1.0 pu and |Vr|=0.9 pu. a) Determine the number of three-phase transmission circuits required for each voltage level. Each transmission tower may have up to two circuits. To limit the corona loss, all 500-kV lines must have at least two conductors per phase, and all 765-kV lines must have at least four conductors per phase. b) The bundle spacing is 45 cm. The conductor size should be such that the line would be capable of carrying current corresponding to at least 5000 MVA. Determine the number of conductors in the…arrow_forward
