I picked up my pencil- this was not an electrical engineering exam at school: instead of lounging at the beach with my friends‚ I had chosen to spend my summer at Specialised Power Systems (“SPS”)‚ designing and building Mr. Rowleys‘s switchboard. As the engineers and I gathered around and started

Electrical Charges: Electrical charges come as plus or minus. Like charges repel‚ unlike charges attract. Electrons and protons have‚ to fantastic accuracy‚ equal and opposite charges. Quarks have 1/3 the electron charge but are never seen alone! In wires electrons do the moving to carry electrical current. In solutions or plasmas there can be positive charge carriers‚ ions or protons. Although the signal to tell electrons to move in wires travels at about 2/3 the speed of light

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

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
