Answer / shahulsnfa
diode conducts only in forward bias.the diode will break
down when it is revrse biased. but zener will conduct in
reverse bias also. break down will occur after some voltage
level which is more compare to diode

diode converts ac to dc onely but zener diode convets ac to
dc and voltage also controlled its voltage controle range
is 15voltes to 200voltes

Answer / sunil guru
yes right
simple diode conducts in forward bias only....
whereas zener diode has the property to conduct beyond reverse bias(reverse break down voltage)
in practical it is used to create a reference voltage for comparison with with fundamental circuit voltage

How to measure the earth resistance value in a concrete pavement(flood light area)?
Ceiling fan motor wiring Hi, I have 2 ceiling fans broken. The receiver/control units burned out due to lightening. One Harbor Breeze and one Hunter's I took them apart (remove receiver units). Now on both of the motor I see 4 wires coming out from each motor I really want to know the function of each wire. Are there anyway I can test to see which is which? After searching forums I know these 4 wires are from 2 sets of coils inside the motor, one is Start winding and the other is Runing winding I could not find the receiver/control unit any where, so I am planing to buy Capacitors and universal remote controls to make the fans run again. Anyone has any idea how to do the wiring, please help Thnks
