There was a 440 Volt Rating. Voltage ratings of the past gave way to higher levels to allow larger power dissipation from the same wire size. In home use 110 Volts gave way to 115 Volts and that gave way to the 120 Volts of current use. Higher voltages also increased in turn as 110V associated with 220 and 440 Volts, became 115V associated with 230 and 460 Volts, and today we have 120V associated with 240 and 480 Volts.

True or False The voltage rating of a fuse can be greater than the circuit voltage?
True. The voltage rating of a fuse must be greater than the circuit voltage.
What is the peak inverse voltage rating of diode in bridge rectifier?
2x the peak supply voltage!
What is the voltage rating of a 1ZB43BB zener diode?
43 Volts.
WHAT IS rectifiers 1N4007?
The 1N4007 is a diode with forward current rating of 1 ampere, and a reverse voltage rating of 1,000 volts.
How do you measure the volt ampere rating of a transformer?
Your transformer should have a namplate on it that states how many amps or fractions of amps it can produce. You would then multiply that number by your secondary voltage to get your VA rating. sec. voltage 12v X .05 amp = 12 X .05= .6va
What is the horsepower rating for a 1978 440?
348
The air conditioning work in 230 volt why the compressor use capacitors of 370 and 440 volts if he only need mfd to start?
The capacitor voltage rating (370 or 440 volts) is important for safety reasons to handle the voltage fluctuations in the system. The microfarad (mfd) rating of the capacitor is what determines its ability to provide the necessary energy to start the compressor. The higher voltage rating ensures the capacitor can handle the high starting voltage without failing.
True or False The voltage rating of a fuse can be greater than the circuit voltage?
True. The voltage rating of a fuse must be greater than the circuit voltage.
What happens if you use a fuse that's overrated for voltage but has the correct current rating?
Using a fuse correctly rated for current but "overrated" for voltage does not present a problem. Current ratings are critical safety issues, and fuses should be replaced with those of the same current rating. But using a fuse with an identical current rating but a higher voltage rating is not a problem. The reason for that lies in what the voltage rating of a fuse is. Fuses are given a voltage rating to state a maximum voltage in a circuit that they are designed to protect. And the voltage rating has nothing to do with the "normal" operation of the fuse. The fuse carries current when it operates normally, but when something happens and excessive current flows, the fusible link heats up and opens. This is where the voltage rating comes into play. It is possible that a fuse can arc through when it fails. It is the voltage rating that stands in the way of this. As long as the voltage rating of a circuit is not beyond the voltage rating of the fuse, that fuse will fail safely when it fails. It is acceptable to use a fuse of an equal current rating but a higher voltage rating when replacing a fuse that has failed.
Does a bigger sized battery have a greater voltage?
A larger voltage rating: yes, of course. A larger size rating: these are not normally related to the voltage rating, which is separate. A larger physical size: normally this means a greater voltage, but again, they are not directly related to the voltage rating. Size has nothing to do with voltage. Battery voltage is controlled by the number of cells in the battery. Plate size affects current delivery.
Can you use a higher voltage rating capacitor with the same uf rating?
Yes, it will work fine. The downside is that it might cost more than one of the lower voltage rating, or that it might be physically larger. A capacitor voltage rating is a maximum, so any lower voltage is also acceptable.
Why fuse have voltage?
Fuses have a voltage rating to ensure they can safely interrupt the circuit in case of a fault. The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage that the fuse can safely handle without arcing or breaking down. Ensuring the fuse's voltage rating matches or exceeds the circuit voltage helps prevent damage and maintain safety.
What is Meaning of diode rating?
There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing. Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.
Why is voltage rating of a capacitor important to the user?
The voltage rating of a capacitor tells the user how much voltage the capacitor can withstand. If a user exceeds this voltage, the capacitor's dielectric may be damaged and destroyed.
What is the power rating for a 10amp dc load?
It depends on the voltage rating.
What is the horsepower rating of a 1978 Dodge 440?
Around 280 net hp
How fuses are rated?
Fuses are rated by amperage (current) and voltage. The larger the current need, the larger the rating of the fuse, to handle the current. The voltage rating of a fuse defines the maximum value of circuit voltage in which the fuse can be safely used. A fuse should not be used in a circuit with a voltage exceeding the voltage rating of the fuse.
