How do you change the amp value of a battery

I am trying to make a voltage regulator for my car.
My car puts out 14v and 500 amp battery.
I can not tell Multisim that I want a 500 amp battery.
How do I change the value?
This is important because I have to make sure I have at least 15amps output. No way to do this so far. Program is worthless.

Shane711,
Most multimeters can only handle ten amps or less, so it is not surprising that yours burned up.
How did you connect the multimeter while trying to measure the battery current? Cars have large, heavy wires connected to the battery because the large currents would destroy smaller wires. Your multimeter does not have connections or wires anywhere near as large as the battery cables. To measure the current you need to disconnect one of the cables and connect the meter in series with the cable. If you attempted to connect the multimeter in parallel with the battery as you would to measure voltage, you shorted the battery through the meter and probably had hundreds of amperes flowing, at least until a fuse blew or some wire burned out.
Your specification for the voltage regulator does not make any sense. A voltage regulator has an output voltage specification - yours is 12 V. It also has an input voltage range specification. You did not specify an input range. The output current is determined by the load via Ohm's Law. The specification includes a maximum current - Is that what you meant by 15 amps? Some regulator circuits also have a minimum output current specification, often a few mA. Optional specifications include tolerances on voltages, power dissipation, transient response characteristics, and so on. The design of the circuit depends on all of these specifications.  You will probably not find a single device which operates as a voltage regulator with 12 V output at up to 15 A.  A regualtor like that will probably contain one or more power transistors, some ICs, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and inductors.
Any simulator is only as good as the models used. From what Tien P. said in his earlier post, the battery in Multisim is an ideal voltage source. If so, it should easily produce currents of 1000 amperes. Just put a 12 milliohm resistor across the battery.  As I said yesterday, you will need to create a battery model circuit which has the characteristics you want in your battery.  What do you expect the output voltage to be at the battery terminals when drawing 1000 amps? What should it be with no current drawn? What should it be at 1, 10 , and 100 amps?

  • How do you change the value of the primary key in the CMP?

    Hi,
    The cmp that I built has the phone as the Prikey field.
    The bean has the get/set methods. The servlet invokes the cmp
    to change the phone number. How could I do that?
    The setXXX for the priKey can not be called outside of the ejbCreate() so
    how would I change the prikey value of a particular row of the table. Do I have
    to remove the bean then create the new bean with the new priKey value?
    Please help,
    Thanks

    Thanks Mona

    Hi TOM,
    The primary key is the unique identifier of an Entity Bean.
    To change it, you have to remove the bean instance = database delete
    then you have to create a new one with the new primary-key value =
    database insert.
    Hard luck tom, maybe you should consider changing your primary key. You
    can easily change it to an AutoNum

  • How do you change the direction of a Tween Wipe effect

    Hi all,
    Completely new to the forums and I hopefully my query is straight forward.  How do you change the direction in the pre-built tween effects available within Flash CS3 (primarily the Wipe effect).  Example code:
    var Animate_Box:Tween = new Tween(Box, "height", Strong.easeInOut, 0, 200, 1, true);
    OR
    var Animate_Box_2:Object = {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeInOut};
    TransitionManager.start(Box_2, Animate_Box_2);
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kam
    ANSWERED:
    Sorry for posting something so pointless!
    You simply add 'startPoint:5' onto the end i.e.
    var Animate_Box_2:Object = {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeInOut, startPoint:5'};
    TransitionManager.start(Box_2, Animate_Box_2);
    startPoint:5' = can be any number depending on the direction of the Wipe you want.
    Thanks,
    Kam

    What you really want is a way of automatically mirroring the the X and/or Y coordinates of the keyframes within the effect. This ability would be very useful.
    But right now there's no way to do that. You'd have to do it manually. That effect actually uses the Slide parameter to generate the movement (instead of a discreet X/Y coordinate for the position.) Changing the first keyframe value of the Slide parameter to a negative number still doesn't give the effect I think you're looking for.
    So, it's probably easier to just rebuild the effect the way you want it from scratch.

  • How do you change the ont size

    How do you change the font size for one word ?

    Basically, you need to wrap the word in a <span> tag, and apply either a class or an inline style to the span. Using a class is better because you can reuse it in other pages, or other parts of the same page. Also, changing the font size in the class will apply the changes to all instances of the class. With an inline style, you have to change each one individually.
    To wrap a word in a <span> tag, select the word, then press Ctrl+T (Cmd+T on a Mac) to bring up the Wrap Tag dialog. Type "sp" (without the quotes), and press Enter twice. Then create a class using the CSS Designer. Apply the class to the word by selecting it again, and select the class from the Class drop-down menu in the Property inspector.
    To create an inline style, select the word, and click the CSS button on the left of the Property inspector. Select the font size you want from the Size drop-down menu. If the size you want isn't listed, just type the value in the Size field.

  • How to batch change the standard value of routing

    Dear all,
             I meet a problem, and need you help.
            As you know, we can use T-code "CS20"  to batch change a component's quantity in different Bom by a factor.
           for example:  Component a in Fert. A,  quantity change from 6g x 0.9 = 5.4g
                               Component a in Fert. B,  quantity change from 8g x 0.9 = 7.2g
           now, my question is how to Batch change the standard value in routing. (select by work center)  CA85N can select the value, but seems can not batch change by a factor,
           thanks in advance

  • How do you change the color of the title text?

    The main title text for the tap your currently on shows up centered one line above the tab row. The default is black text, with a gray drop shadow, but that doesn't work with dark background themes/personas. How do I go about changing that text color so that its visible on a dark background. I've tried changing font stylings in general for the browser, and I've tried changing the color values in the about:config for the persona, but none of that works. How do you change the color of the title text?

    That colors option under content doesn't change the color of the title text, but thanks anyways

  • How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array?

    How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array of numeric indicators?
    I want the VI to check a data value and if it is failing, white out a square at a specific index coordinate.  I have it working with color boxes, but I'm not sure how to use the property node function, to change the color of individual cells, by coordinates.
    I have attached the VI using color boxes. If you run the VI, the box corresponding to the Step control should turn white.
    I want to do the same thing, using numeric indicator boxes inside the array.
    Thanks for any suggestions...

    Get rid of all these sequences! That's just bad form.
    Your code has a few logical problems. Why do you create a boolean array if you later only look at the last element (Yes, the FOR loop does nothing useful, except in the last iteration because your outputs are not indexing. All other iterations are useless, you only get the result of the last array element. My guess is that you want to color the index white if at least one of the numbers is out if range. Right?
    It is an absolute nightmare to manage all your numeric labels. Just read them from a 2D array. Now you can simply find the index of the matched elements and don't have to spend hours editing case structure conditions.
    Attached is a simple example how you would do what I meant (LV7.1). Modify as needed.

  • How do you change the key of a Logic Pro X loop?

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on a song in Logic Pro X using one of the loops and I just wanted to know how to change the key of the loop to fit in with the key of the song? The key of my song is C Major while the Loop is in G Major.
    Any tips would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

    How do you change the key of one specific loop using the Key/Transpose in the Inspector? Step by step instructions would be great.
    Many thanks.
    Here is the step-by-step instruction:
    Step 1: Select the MIDI Region and set the Transpose value in the Region Inspector to the left.
    Step 2: There is no Step 2
    If you are a newbie, then I would recommend to have a look at my Graphically Enhanced Manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works" where I explain everything in great details with lots of easy to understand diagrams and screenshots, including a separate chapter about Apple Loops.
    BTW: If you have a proper Apple Loop, then it should automatically adopt to the key of your Project. A transpose is not necessary, unless you want to overwrite a phrase to a specific key.
    Hope that helps

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

    How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

    the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
    I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
    send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.
