How to find The value of Burnt Resistor ( By three handy Methods ) Find The value of Burnt Resistor by Three Simple Methods  We can find the Values of  burnt resistors  by these three handy methods below. Method 1 Scarp the outer coating. Clean the Burnt Section of the resistor. Measure resistance from one end of the resistor to the damaged section. Again measure the resistance from damaged section to the other end of the resistor. Add these two value f resistances. This is the approximate value of Burnt resistor.  Just add a small value of resistance for damaged section i.e., suppose the value of burnt resistor was 1k Ω, but you got 970 Ω. So just add 30 Ω, and you will have 1k Ω.

#23 Why Motor rated in kW instead of kVA

Why Motor rated in kW instead of kVA Why Motor rated in kW/Horsepower instead of kVA? We know that  Transformer rating may be expressed in kVA  as well as Generator and  Alternator rated in kVA  Designer doesn’t know the actual consumer power factor while manufacturing transformers and generators i.e. the P.F (Power factor) of Transformer and Generator/Alternator depends on the nature of connected load such as resistive load, capacitive load, and inductive load as Motors, etc. But  Motor has fixed Power factor, i.e.  motor has defined power factor and the rating has been mentioned in KW on Motor nameplate data table . That’s why we are rated Motor in kW or HP (kilowatts/ Horsepower) instead of kVA. In addition, Motor is a device which converts Electrical power into Mechanical power. In this case, the load is not electrical, but mechanical (Motor’s Output) and we take into the account only active power which has to be...
