What is a Capacitor? Capacitor is a device that stores electric charge. A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by an insulator. Capacitors have many applications some of them include Computer RAM memory and keyboards, Electronic flashes for cameras, Electric power surge protectors and Radios and electronic circuits. Another definition of capacitor can be that… Read More »
What is Electronics? Electronics can be defined as the science of how to control electric energy, electrical energy is the form of energy in which the electrons have a fundamental role. The field of basic electronic also deals with electrical circuits which involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated… Read More »
At the stage of receiving the cables at project site, inspect the protective covering on the cable for evidence of shipment damage. Leave the factory-applied protective cover in place until removal is absolutely necessary. Where possible, check the copper sheath for evidence of shipment damage. When cable drums are unloaded in designated area, provide wooden… Read More »
Insulator Definition: Electric insulators are substances through which electric current cannot pass easily like glass, mica, dry air and Bakelite etc. Similarly materials which resist the transfer of heat are called thermal insulators like wood, glass wool, rubber etc. The materials which have very high resistivity i.e. offers a very high resistance to the flow… Read More »
Electrical wiring is process of systematic laying of wires for the smooth flowing of electricity current at different places like houses, buildings and hotels with utmost safety and precautions. Electricity wiring generally refers to insulated conductors used to carry current from main panel to and associated devices and equipment. If we divide the wiring in… Read More »
The AWG – American Wire Gauge – is used as a standard method denoting wire diameter, measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed. AWG is sometimes also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S) Wire Gauge. The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. Because of the… Read More »
