Shall we get electrical shock if we touch the positive
terminal of a 230 volt dc supply?

Answer Posted / anand yadav

Sure you will get shock.
+ve---||----earth-----||--- _ve

The insulated conductors form capacitors.

Think that two capacitors are in series, middle point is connected to ground and one to +ve, second to -ve (220V DC). Now you can see the voltage across each capacitor which will cause you electric shock.
To see practically, take one good digital multimeter (Fluke), check voltage between ground to +ve and ground to -ve, you will get half of the source voltage.

HOW MUCH CURRENT DOES SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR TAKES AT SYNCHRONOUS SPEED IN NO LOAD CONDITION ?

in cvt,there are two windings,1a,1n and 2a,2n.in my one project i use only one winding i.e.1a,1n. the other winding is not in use, so i connect it in open delta and want to close it by ibsertibg thermal resistor. the output of cvt is 132kv/115/sqrt3. plesae tell me exact value of resistor, so i may close it to avoid the resonance phenomenin. send me answer on this email adress please. aetcon-po@aetcon.com

Some times to change of DOR of a motor, interchange of R & B is not effected and RYB take same current, but interchange of R&Y is effected ie change the DOR. My doubt is what is the problem in motor and how it is happen.
