what is the definition of nominal voltage?

Answer 1

Nominal generally derives from name. A nominal quantity (e.g., length, diameter, volume, voltage, value) is generally the quantity according to which some item has been named or is generally referred to. Such a nominal value may have no real relation to the item being referred to. For example, a type of battery that has an actual voltage of 1.62 V – but is commonly called a "1.5 volt battery" – has a nominal voltage of 1.5 V (which cannot be measured anywhere).

Answer 2

Nominal Voltage

Answer 3

Voltage Meaning

Answer 4

It is the rated voltage of an electric equipment. It is the voltage at which the device is designed to operate.

Another Answer

Nominal means 'named'. So a nominal voltage is the 'named' voltage. For example, the nominal voltage of the supply system in Britain is 230 V. But its actual value is allowed to vary between 216.2 V and 253.0 V.

Answer 5

Nominal voltage is the typical voltage excluding variations. For example, a nominal voltage of 120 V includes the "bandwidth" allowed for flucuations. This might be 113 volts on the low end and 127 volts on the high end. Nominally 120 V.

Answer 6

High Voltage circuits are always dangerous but they are exceptionally dangerous and more apt to be fatal when the high Voltage source has a very low internal impedance so that a large portion of the high Voltage is not dropped across it`s own internal impedance when a load such as all or any part of a human body is accidentally placed across it.

Answer 8

nominal voltages are used for computations, in north america if you say 115 volts, usually the voltage varies from 110 to 120, for a 230 volts, it varies from 220 to 240, for a 460 volts, it varies from 440 to 480, for 575 volts, it varies from 550 to 600 volts. we also use nominal voltages in the specifications of equipments(like the boilers we manufacture)
