What else can I help you with?
Is it dangerous if when you shut off all the breakers on the panel box the meter slowly runs backwards?
Call the Electric Company to observe this. They probably will want to replace the meter. On the other hand I can't think of an easier way to lower your electric bill. But dangerous, I wouldn't think so.
Why is the power off on on breaker when it is not flipped off?
Turning the breaker on allows the power to flow through to the outlets, lights, and appliances on that circuit, so yes power goes to and through a turned on breaker. If the breaker is off, but the main power is on, power still get to the breaker, usually from the bus bar that runs down the middle of the back of the breaker box.
How do you calculate watts for a 15 Amp breaker?
That's easy. Depending on the amount voltage will determine the amount of wattage, since we know the value of the current. Lets take 120 VAC times 15 Amps = 1800 watts. When my wife and me have the small electric heater running in the bedroom during the morning before and she uses her hair dryer, it blows the breaker. Then I have to run downstairs and reset the breaker. The heater runs at around 9 Amps and the hair dryer draws around 10 Amps. 19 Amps blows the breaker. The more it blows the weaker it gets. Why would one want to know the amount of wattage on a breaker, when mainly were interested in the amonut of current ratings.
What would happen if a 240V breaker was on and someone attempted to turn on the clothes dryer?
Don't understand this question. If the breaker is on, then the dryer would function normally, if the breaker your are referring to is the one for the dryer. If the breaker is off then no function. A dryer runs on 220.
What is 80 percent rating of breaker?
An 80 percent rating for a breaker refers to the maximum continuous load that the breaker can safely handle without tripping. For example, if a breaker is rated at 20 amps, the 80 percent rule suggests that it should only be loaded to 16 amps for continuous use. This guideline helps prevent overheating and ensures safety in electrical systems. It's particularly important in applications where equipment runs for extended periods.
You think somebody is using your electric supply?
You would not be the first person to have someone else tap into your electric power. If you are in a detached house, it is fairly easy to find out. Turn off everything in the house. Leave the circuit breakers on. Have someone stand outside by the meter. See if the meter still runs. (You may need to turn off the breaker to the hot water.) If the meter is still running when nothing in the house is turned on, you can call the power company to come out and check.
How will you find out if your electric meter is tapped?
Switch EVERYTHING electrical off. If the meter still runs, it's showing something is still drawing power.
Why would your electric meter to house turn slow if you have the main turned off?
If your main breaker is open and the utility meter is still measuring current, you probably have another circuit tapped ahead of the main. Usually there will be some sort of junction box with a breaker or fuse in it that is located close to the main panel and probably connected to the main panel with conduit. If you do not see a junction box in close proximity to the main panel then carefully remove the front cover of the main panel and look for a couple smaller wires that are tightened into the cable side of the main breaker. Either that, or check for a few wires that run out of the panel through the same conduit that runs to the meter. Those would be the two most likely terminations used by somebody (previous owner) trying to add a circuit to a full panel. If you can locate that tap, you should be able to follow the wire to determine what the load is. Although I've never heard of a meter measuring current when there is no load on it, you will need to call the utility company if you cannot find a circuit tapped ahead of the main breaker. They own the meter.
What makes a meter run backwards?
A meter runs backwards when the direction of the electric flow in the circuit is reversed, causing the meter to register a negative reading. This can occur due to incorrect wiring, a malfunction in the meter itself, or when tampering is involved. Additionally, in some cases, a significant electrical load on the system can create conditions where the meter appears to run backwards.
Is it dangerous if when you shut off all the breakers on the panel box the meter slowly runs backwards?
Call the Electric Company to observe this. They probably will want to replace the meter. On the other hand I can't think of an easier way to lower your electric bill. But dangerous, I wouldn't think so.
In the 1600 meter relay each person runs meters?
In the 1600 meter relay, each person runs 400 meters
Why the solar panel power cannot be transfer to the meter?
Solar panels are direct current (DC), the electric in the meter is alternating current (AC). You need a special transformer to convert from direct to alternating. This usually has to be done since everything in your house usually runs on alternating current.
How does a standing fan work?
With an electric motor. A force acts on an electric current when it runs through a magnetic field (called the Lorentz Force) see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor
What does Usain Bolt runs for?
The 100 and 200 meter runs. He also does the 4x1
What is Electricmotor?
the motor which runs in electric
How fast is denard Robinson 100 meter?
Denard Robinson runs the 100 meter in 10.4 seconds
Is the convertible top motor hydraulic or electric?
It is both, an electric motor runs a hydraulic pump.
