    Study Notes

    Hydraulic System Pressure

    • Pressure in a hydraulic system is equivalent to force per unit area, similar to how pressure is measured in other contexts.

    Resistance and Current Flow

    • Resistance in a circuit directly affects current flow, acting as an obstacle.
    • Higher resistance leads to lower current, and vice versa.

    Electrical Analogy to Fluid Power Volume

    • Current in electrical systems is analogous to volume flow rate in fluid power systems.
    • This means that the volume of fluid moving through a hydraulic system is analogous to the amount of electrical charge flowing through a circuit.

    Direct Current

    • Direct current (DC) provides a continuous flow of electrons in one direction.
    • This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.

    Electrical Resistance Term

    • The term for the restriction to current flow in a circuit is resistance.
    • It is measured in ohms (Ω).

    Voltage and High Resistance

    • When voltage is applied to a circuit with high resistance, the current flow will be low.
    • This is because the resistance restricts the flow of electrical charge.

    Ohm's Law

    • Ohm's Law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
    • It states that voltage (V) is directly proportional to current (I) and resistance (R).
    • The formula is V = I x R.

    Stationary Electric Motor Voltage Range

    • Stationary electric motors in hydraulic systems typically operate within a voltage range of 24-48 volts (DC).
    • The specific voltage used depends on the motor's design and the application.
