The yoke or strap is the metal fram that hold everything together and where the outlet attaches to the box.

Why can't you change out a switch for a receptacle?

Electrically there is no reason you couldn't if the neutral exists in the switch box. But in a home, a switch is required just inside every door. So other arrangements would have to be made for that. Replacing a switch with a receptacle would mean there is no longer a switch, of course, for the lights. They would either be on all the time or off all the time. If you need a receptacle at this location, consider installing a combination unit with a switch and single receptacle on the same yoke.


What is the use of shunt in power transformer?

In Power Transformer in higher rating to minimise the Stray losses (losses caused by leakage flux linking with structural part- tank - yoke plates) Tank shunts shunt the leakage flux and contains it within. shunts are made of CRNGO.


What is the Difference between conventional transformer and toroidal transformer?

Conventional transformers have rectangular cores, whereas toroidal transformers have circular ('toroid' means 'circular') cores. The windings are placed around conventional cores by removing the top 'yoke' (horizontal member) of the core, making them easy to manufacture. For a toroidal transformer, however, the windings have to be actually wound around the core, making them much more difficult and, therefore, expensive to manufacture. Toroidal cores have less magnetic leakage than conventional cores, but are limited to small applications (e.g. hi-fi amplifiers, etc.), whereas conventional cores can be manufactured to any size.


What are the parts of an electric fan and its function?

· Front Guard. It is a protective metal mesh wire used to prevent the fan blade from any physical contact with foreign objects. · Power Controller. It is a circuit that controls the amount of power supplied to the motor. · Sensor. It is the input receiver that detects input signal coming from remote control. · Manual Control. It is a push button switch that controls manually operation of the electric fan. · Non-polarized Capacitor. A low reactance non-polar capacitor connected in series with the start winding of an electric fan. · Timer. It is used to switch on or off automatically with predetermined time. · Comparator. It is a processing circuit that accepts the input signal coming from remote control, manual switch or timer switch. This circuit provides the triggering voltage to the power controller. · AC Motor. It is rotating electric machine which changes applied electrical energy or power into mechanical output energy or power. · AC Plug. It is a connector intended for connecting to the main source 220 V.
