A Career in Electrical Engineering A career in electrical engineering means solving problems associated with large-scale electrical systems. Sometimes the term is used to include electronic engineering but jobs in this field involve small scale systems such as computers and integrated circuits.it might be said that a job in electronic engineering involves transmitting information and a job in electrical engineering involves transmitting energy. Alternatively electronics power transmission control

Electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an

1. INTRODUCTION Electrical substation for distribution system is the main supply to convert the high voltage (HV) to low voltage (LV) and the place where load are distributed to the consumers. In Malaysia‚ Tenaga Nasional Berhad Distribution (TNBD) used the 33/0.433kV‚ 22/0.433kV‚ 11/0.433kV and 6.6/0.433kV voltage system for the electrical system to supply for domestic consumer and industrial consumer such as factory which will supplied directly from Transmission Main Intakes (PMU)‚ Main Distribution

Electrical technology – assignment 4 Properties of electrical materials and Effective use of technology P.5. Describe the properties and a typical application of a solid and a liquid or gas electrical conductor. A conductor is a material that allows free movement of electrons and therefore allows easy flow of electricity. Most conductors are metals. A common metal used as a conductor in electrical technology is aluminium. It is used quite a lot as it cheap‚ lightweight and in abundance compared
Premium Magnetism Magnetic field Magnet
conveniently designed conductive disks allow the electrical load of the generator to be fed either with alternating current or direct current. the loop terminals is sinusoidal with zero mean value (Fig. 2). Its frequency is equal to the number of revolutions per second executed by the loop. Each terminal of the loop is connected to a metallic ring. The contacts with rings are made by means of fixed brushes. If the brushes are connected to an electrical load‚ an alternating current will be established

L&T SWITCHGEAR SAFE & SURE ELECTRICAL SAFETY E S P SERVICE MANUAL GENERAL Electricity is good servant but bad master. It can prove to be very dangerous if circuits are not properly protected. The major fault that appears in electrical network or equipment is termed as short circuit. In short circuit‚ the supply phase and neutral or earth is short circuited accidentally due to foreign metallic substance coming in contact with phase & neutral or earth or due to overload thereby damaging

How Engineers Contribute Society’s standards always change and engineers contribute to society by meeting these demands. Engineers create technology and devices that people use day to day. They innovate current technology by making it more practical and improving the quality to satisfy consumers. When society’s trends and fads change‚ engineers comply by redesigning products to accommodate for the changes. Engineers save time and money for every one by speeding up processes and cutting down production

solar energy‚ and technological impacts to society. MECHANICAL ENGINEERS study the behavior of materials when forces are applied to them‚ such as the motion of solids‚ liquids‚ gases and heating and cooling of object and machines. Using these basic building blocks‚ engineers design space vehicles‚ computers power plants‚ intelligence machines and robots‚ automobiles‚ trains‚ airplanes‚ furnaces‚ and air conditioners. Mechanical engineers work on the jet engine design‚ submarines‚ hot air balloons‚
