The best tool to locate the center of a circle would be a compass. By placing the compass on the edge of the circle and drawing an arc, then repeating this process from another point on the circle, the intersection point of the arcs will give you the center of the circle.
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
Arc measure is the number of radians. Two similar arcs could have the same arc measure. Arc length is particular to the individual arc. One must consider the radius of the arc in question then multiply the arc measure (in radians) times the radius to get the length.
major arc
arc homophone is ark
True.
No, bedroom lights fixtures do not have to be on arc fault breakers. In fact it is better if they are not. The neutral should return straight back to the distribution panel, for the arc fault circuit that the neutral is in. In some jurisdictions an electrical code amendment requires that the cable fed from arc fault breakers be identified with a blue outer sheath.
you could have a loose connection causing it to arc enough to trip the breaker -- check all the connections -- maybe you'll need to change out the arc fault you could have a loose connection causing it to arc enough to trip the breaker -- check all the connections -- maybe you'll need to change out the arc fault
Generally no. The purpose of an arc fault breaker is to kill a circuit if water or any other type of element were to intrude the branch to prevent an arc fault blast. They can go bad over wear and tear over time and if not used properly or if the neutral becomes to short to reach the neutral bar or if an arc fault blast occurs the breaker will go bad ofcourse.
You can't change the one breaker, but you can't use two separate arc fault breakers unless you separate the neutrals. However double pole arc fault breakers are made for this purpose and the common neutral would be O.K.
The City of Tyler, TX approved ordinance 0-2008-141 on 11/11/2008. This ordinance requires arc-fault breakers in bedrooms.
Locate is a verb. For example: Engineers worked to locate the fault responsible for the earthquake. Locatable, a derivative of locate, is an adjective. Location is a noun.
it is simply the voltage of the system
Rephrase the question.
If your jurisdiction is using a version of the NEC that requires arc fault breakers, then yes. Call your local building and planning department to see what revision of the code they are using. The exception to this is that you cannot use arc fault breakers if the circuits in question are wired as multiwire circuits (two or more individual circuits sharing a common neutral) because the arc fault breaker won't work in that arrangement. You're not required to replace the entire electrical system just to change a load center, so in this circumstance you wouldn't need them. If you're using the 2005 NEC, you only need arc fault breakers in the bedrooms. If you're using the 2008 NEC, you'll need them just about everywhere that isn't covered by ground fault breakers.
Yes, if you are replacing the service panel.
Time Domain Reflectometers can be used to locate where an underground cable fault lies. Time Domain Reflectometry (See wikipedia) is a measurement technique to identify the location using reflected signals sent down the cable line.
