The relation between electric intensity E, voltage applied V and the distance d between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is
The relation between electric intensity E, voltage applied V and the distance d between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is given by: V = E*L E = V/L
A thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy. It is composed of several thermocouples connected usually in series or less commonly, in parallel. Thermopiles are used for contactless temperature sensing. The function of a thermopile is to transfer the heat radiation emitted from the object to a voltage output. The output is in the range of tens or hundreds of millivolts.
Class B trip curve : The MCB with class B trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 3 to 5 times rated current. These MCBs are suitable for cable protection.
Class C trip curve: MCB with class C trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 5 to 10 times the rated current. Suitable Domestic and residential applications and electromagnetic starting loads with medium starting currents.
Class D trip curve: MCB with class D trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between Above 10 (excluding 10) to 20 times the rated current. Suitable for inductive and motor loads with high starting currents.
Class K trip curve: MCB with class K trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 8 to 12 times the rated current. Suitable for inductive and motor loads with high inrush currents.
When different types of consumers are charged at different uniform per unit rates, it is said to be Flat Rate Tariff. In this type, the consumers are grouped into different classes. Each class is charged at different uniform rate.
