Контрольная работа №4 (5)
I. Прочитайте, а затем письменно переведите 1, 2, 3 абзацы текста. Английский текст перепишите на левой стороне тетради, русский - на правой:
Short circuits and danger from overheating in circuits
1. No electrical appliances and machines are designed for use at very high temperatures. Motors, generators and transformers all have coils of wire with current passing through them. Too much heat damages their insulation. In addition to it this heat is really lost energy.
2. The less resistance there is in a circuit, the greater the amount of current carried through it. Thus, the lines that carry large amounts of current are designed with large cross section areas so that the heat losse is reduced to a minimum.
3. Overloaded wires are subjected to overheat, and if the overload is too great, the rubber and cotton insulation bums up and then the circuit is readily shorted. In some cases short circuits only prevent proper operation of the equipment, at any rate, they are considered to be dangerous and damaging. A short circuit may be very damaging if a large amount of current is involved.
4. Frequently, if small diameter wires are heavily overloaded, the wire catches fire. In order to prevent overloading of a circuit which might cause a fire, we use a protective device by means of which the circuit is broken, at once in case it is overloaded.
II. Найдите в тексте ответы на следующие вопросы:
1. Why may a short circuit be very damaging?
2. What do we use in order to prevent overloading of a circuit?

1. to insulate
2. to add
3. real
4. to prevent
5. to load
6. to connect
7. to heat
8. to operate
9. danger
