An electric motor under steady load draws 9.7 amperes at 110 volts delivering 1.25 hp of mechanical energy What is the rate of the heat transfer from the motor in kW?
As the motor is drawing 9.7×110 = 1,067 watts (or 1.067 kW), and delivering 1.25×746 watts (or .9325 kW) of mechanical energy, it should release 1,067-932.5 = 134.5 watts (or .1345 kW) of heat.
What is 60w light bulb?
a normal incandescent 60 watt light bulb uses 60 watts of electricity to produce 20 watts worth of light, and 40 watts worth of heat. It is more of a heat bulb than a light bulb. it is great if you can capitalise on the free heat, but if it is not cold in your house, turn it off. is there a better bulb? no. why are they ideal? cheap (as low as 10 cents for the el cheapos), never change shape/design/size/compatability, make pleasant light I could go on for an hour, but the best bulb is the cheapest.
What does a 220 resistor do?
The watt rating of a resistor is directly proportional to their physical size. Resistors generate heat just like any resistive load. Small resistors usually are rated at 1/4 watts, larger resistors about 1/4 in diameter have a 2 watt heat dissipation capacity. Ceramic wire wound resistors are wound on a tube form so that there is more surface area and cooling air can pass up through the tube. These types of resistors can dissipate up to 50 watts of unwanted heat. <<>> None. Resistors do not have watts. Watts, ohms, amps, volts, farads... are all ways to measure electrical properties, and while there are interrelations, watts refer to the total amount of energy that a device consumes or produces.
Difference in dimmer switch heat 600 watts or 1000 watts?
A dimmer switch is used for lighting loads and not heating loads. The wattage rating on a dimmer switch is what the manufacturer recommends as the maximum load that the switch can handle. For example if you have ten 100 watt lamps, the total load wattage would be 1000 watts (10 x 100). Too much load for a 600 watt rated dimmer switch but not for a 1000 Watt rated dimmer switch. So you can see that the rating on a dimmer switch governs the maximum wattage load that can be connected in the circuit that is to be controlled.
