Example sentences for "high voltage"

  • In high voltage transmission, this admits of much smaller transformers being built for high pressure than possible with the delta connection.

  • The line supplies three phase currents at high voltage direct to the field of the induction motor and drives it, generating in it currents at a lower voltage depending on the ratio of the windings.

  • This form of transformer is used to transform a low voltage current into a high voltage current.

  • A high voltage is necessary in order to cause the current to leap across the gap made by the separation of the electrodes.

  • By using a high voltage it may be sent hundreds of miles, but to use a current of that character in the cars, or shops, or homes, would be exceedingly dangerous.

  • If, for instance, the primary coil has a low voltage, the secondary coil will have a high voltage, or tension.

  • The gases are placed in transparent glass or quartz tubes at rather low pressures and a high voltage is impressed upon the ends of these tubes.

  • On connecting a high voltage to electrodes in each end, an electrical discharge passed through the residual gas making it luminous.

  • Marks contributed largely to the success of the enclosed arc by showing that a small current and a high voltage of 80 to 85 volts were the requisites for a satisfactory enclosed arc.

  • If there be only one incoming line and no high voltage bus, the line circuit breaker is generally non-automatic.

  • Stations with more than one bank of power transformers, a high voltage bus, and high and low voltage circuit breakers, may have both circuit breakers arranged to trip at the same time or one after the other.

  • In order to avoid the prohibitive expense of high voltage insulation, the reactance coil is designed for the low tension circuit.

  • Continuous-current motors are, of course, subject to the same limitations as dynamos in the matter of capacity at high voltage, so that a series of motors must be employed to receive the high-pressure energy from the line.

  • Separately excited magnet coils make it easier to control the operation of the several dynamos, coils of low-voltage are cheaper to make than coils of high voltage, and the low voltage windings are less liable to burn out.

  • In some places a high voltage system of electric supply by continuous current is adopted.

  • When fitted with a spark gap the high voltage, low frequency currents are converted into high voltage, high frequency currents.

  • If now we decide to generate this electrical energy at ten times as high voltage it will be necessary to transmit only one tenth as many amperes, or five.

  • This induces a secondary current in the whole coil which, because it passes through a very great number of turns, has a high voltage.


  • The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "high voltage" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
