    Ac Reactance Rpm
AI Thread Summary
Reluctance does not change frequency in AC systems. The discussion highlights the relationship between reactance and frequency, noting that capacitors have an inverse relationship while inductors have a direct relationship. Clarification is sought regarding the specific context of the question, such as whether it pertains to induction motors or arc welders. Understanding the application is crucial for accurate analysis. The conversation emphasizes the need for context to address questions about AC RPM and reactance effectively.

TL;DR Summary
For Rate of cutting in ac that means a higher frequency which also means a lower reactance theoretically. If so, why is higher rpm ideal?

No, you can't say that reluctance changes frequency.

Back up. Explain the context of your question please.

Ohh I was thinking about capacitors since Xc=1/(2*pi*f*c) where xc is inversely proportional to Frequency but in inductors they are directly proportional..

We still need context. Are you asking about the RPM of an induction motor? or the cutting speed of an arc welder? Or what does "rate of cutting in AC" mean?
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
