Full-jewelled, you see," says Captain Hodgson as the engineer shunts open the top of a cap.
Even in this thin air the lift-shunts are busy taking out one-third of its normal lift, and still "162" must be checked by an occasional downdraw of the rudder or our flight would become a climb to the stars.
The field coils are former wound and the series windings permit of any degree of compounding up to 10% by the use of suitable German silver shunts connected across the series field.
This shunts more or less of the current from the field winding according to the amount of resistance made active by the lever, L.
The milli-voltmeters used in connection with these shunts read directly in amperes.
In selecting shunts of different capacities for use in connection with one instrument it should be considered that the higher ranges must be even multiples of the lower one in order to suit the same scale on the instrument.
In very sensitive galvanometers, the coils are wound with thousands of turns of very fine wire, and shunts are generally used in connection with them.
These shunts are used where heavy currents are to be measured.
These shunts are designed to have approximately 50 millivolts drop at full rated current.
The resistance S is of such value that when it shunts the wire OB, the total resistance between O and B is 1/10 of the same unshunted.
Bottle-green when seen under certain angles, and dull dead sable at others, it was variegated by cliffs and slopes polished like dark mirrors, and by sooty sand-shunts disposed at the natural slope.
Each Morse circuit will be seen to include, serially, two 50-ohm impedance coils, and to have shunts through condensers to ground.
Part of the current shunts through the blow out coil producing a strong magnetic field across the spark gap.
The points of connection to theshunts are adjusted so that when the same current passes out through one and back through the other, the effect on the two coils is equal and opposite, and there is thus no movement.
One of these rods has a low resistance, and shuntsnine gaps; the other rod has a high resistance, and shunts eleven gaps.
The Sangamo differential shunt meter is designed to meet these requirements, and it consists essentially of a Sangamo meter with two shunts connected as shown.
By using shunts or series resistances of different values, different ranges can be given to the instruments.
One and the same instrument may be used as an ammeter or as a voltmeter, by providing it with shunts for use as an ammeter, and series resistances for use as a voltmeter.
That is, each coil has the same ohmic resistance, but the inductive coil has in addition the spurious resistance due to inductance, hence it shunts less current from the lamp than does the non-inductive coil.
What is used in place of instrument shunts for high pressure alternating current measurements?
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "shunts" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
