Single Phase power circuits Single phase electric power or circuit refers to the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in corresponding exactly. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly used for the purpose of lighting and heating which can also be for… Read More »
What is a Diode? Di+Ode is a semiconductor device with two terminals allowing the flow of current in one direction only, diodes are made up of Silicon, Germanium & GaAs. The perfect diode would be a perfect conductor in one direction (forward bias) and a perfect insulator in the other direction (reverse bias). In many situations, using… Read More »
What is the Wheatstone Bridge? The Wheatstone Bridge consists of a dc voltage source, four resistors and a detector. The detector is a type of ammeter called a galvanometer. The galvanometer is used to detect the condition ig = 0 .When the circuit satisfies this condition we say that “the bridge is balanced”. A Wheatstone bridge… Read More »
Electrical functional testing is very important and critical part of any electrical project. Most of the times it is necessary to hire a third party in order to conduct the function testing of electrical systems. Big electromechanical companies are having their own testing and commissioning teams that can perform the electrical tests depending upon the… Read More »
The distribution of current throughout cross section of a conductor is uniform only when DC is passing through it. When Alternating Current(AC) is passing through a conductor, the current is non uniformly distributed over the cross section in a manner that the current density is higher at the surface of the conductor compared to the… Read More »
Being an electrical engineer on a construction project is a very tedious and responsible job. Electrical site engineer is wholly responsible for the ordering of materials as per the pre approved material submittals and an electrical project specifications. Here in this article we have included the complete list of testing requirements for an electrical system… Read More »
