What is the typical breakover voltage for a DIAC used in an electronic control circuit in which 120 VAC?
about ~30v
266 KW how many amps?
Watts = current x volts for a resistive load. You need to know a voltage to calculate amps. If it is a 120 VAC residential voltage it would be a whopping 266,000/120 = A or 2,216.7 Amps. If it is 240 VAC then half that. To put that in perspective the service to a typical residence might be between 100 and 200 Amps.
How many amps should a 0.5 horsepower motor draw?
Depends on the voltage. If you are running off 120 VAC, a 0.5 horsepower motor would draw 3.1 A.
Can you replace a 250 Vac capacitor with a 370 Vac Capacitor?
Yes, generally, all other things being the same. By all other things I mean the capacitance, the type of capacitor for the application, etc.
How much current will a 120 VAC wall outlet pass through a connected 20 ohm circuit load?
The equation that you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = 120/20 = 6 amps. This is one of the basic equations of Ohm's Law.
