    Ac Reactance Rpm
Click For 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
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 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
