I just read the post by Dave2 about electricty. I have a question. What is the actual voltage of AC power? 60 times a second it is positive. 60 times a second it is negetive & 60 times a second it is zero.???????
(quoted from post at 19:41:41 01/16/10)
Likewise, RMS value is .707 times the Peak to Peak voltage.
(quoted from post at 19:41:41 01/16/10) The actual peak to peak voltage of the household power is nowhere close to 120 volts if you would look at it with an oscilloscope.
Rather, it is 1.414 times the 120 volts it is typically called.
(quoted from post at 23:32:24 01/16/10) Voltage can be what ever you want. What you're referring to is Hertz or cycles between positive and negative, rather than AC volts. Dave
ny day above ground, I'm thinking it is positive.(quoted from post at 09:54:27 01/17/10) Is that positive or negative ground?
hat is because installation is the installer/technicians job, not the design engineers job. That is what tech schools teach.(quoted from post at 14:26:07 01/17/10) what I remember about electric engineerin is it was all math, never got to real wiring.
Edison did his best dirty work to promote that idea in order to discredit Tesla & Westinghouse, but he lost.(quoted from post at 15:56:39 01/17/10) I read somewhere that 60 Hertz is perfect for electrocuting someone, and that moving it some either direction makes it a lot less harmful.
