  • TRUE DC Isolators for PV Systems N Market-Leading Design N 2, 4, 6 & 8 Pole Versions Available N Max
    SI TRUE DC Solar Isolator Brighter Solutions AC vs DC Safe Switching As any electrician is aware the nature of DC switching has to be considered with care because on disconnection an arc can occur that is more arduous than that produced with an AC load because there is no zero point on DC. The nature of this arc means that design considerations have to be made within the switch in order to quench this phenomenon; that not only includes significant contact gaps with high speed of operation, but also thermal transmissive materials. What must be considered is that any AC isolator is predominantly designed with materials chosen such that the load will be AC. This means that the load supply will be a 50/60Hz sine wave, whether it be 230VAC or 400VAC, etc. When switching AC it should be remembered that the nature of the load supply will always pass through ØVAC twice in every cycle and therefore although loads can be ardu- ous in type the supply is self-extinguishing. By that we mean that even if the isolator switches at peak load and an arc is formed between contacts, the action of the supply reducing to ØV means that the load will tend to zero and the arc will be extinguished. DC load, on the other hand, is always there and unless the load becomes zero, the power being pulled through the contacts will always be the same. So if the load is 500VDC 25A it will be 500V 25A now, in 1s , in 1min, in 1hour – that is constant.

  • Lecture 5: Electrical Supply and Distribution
    Lecture 5: Electrical Supply and Distribution 5.1 Single Phase Electric Power There is only one phase, i.e. the current flows through only one wire and there is one return path called neutral line to complete the circuit. Single-phase comes to the home with two wires: active and neutral. The neutral wire is connected to earth (water pipe, earth stake, etc.) at the switchboard. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors. Single-phase power is: Able to supply ample power for smaller customers, including homes and small, non- industrial businesses. Adequate for running motors up to about 10kw; a single-phase motor draws significantly more current than the equivalent 3-phase motor, making 3-phase power a more efficient choice for industrial applications. 5.2 Three Phase Electric Power It is the Polyphase system where three phases are send together from the generator to the load. Each phase are having a phase difference of 120°, i.e. 120° angle electrically. Therefore, from the total of 360°, three phases are equally divided into 120° each. The power in three-phase system is continuous as all the three phases are involved in generating the total power. Three-phase has four wires: three actives (called phases) and one neutral. The neutral wire is earthed at the switchboard. 3-phase power is: Common in large businesses, as well as industry and manufacturing. Large domestic installations sometimes have three-phase because it distributes the total load in a way that ensures that the current in each phase is lower.

  • B4 Building Works Standard Specifications
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MINISTRY OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (DRAFT) August 2012 B4 BUILDING WORKS BUILDING B4 FOREWORD The mission of the Ministry of Works and Transport (MoWT) is to promote an adequate, safe and well maintained works and transport infrastructure and services so as to effectively contribute to the socio-economic development of the country. In exercising this mission and in discharging its responsibilities, the Ministry is issuing a series of Design Manuals, Guidelines, Codes and Standards, of which the “Standard Specifications for Building Works” is one part thereof. The Standard Specifications for Building Works will be a nationally recognized document which will serve as a standard reference for the preparation of specifications for works to be undertaken on building construction projects. The major benefits to be gained in applying this document are the harmonization of professional practice in the building construction in Uganda and curtailment of informal developments so as to ensure well-planned, well- maintained, safe, cost effective and decent building developments and human settlements throughout the country. The Standard Specifications will be periodically updated and new editions issued to cater for the dynamic technological developments in the construction industry.

    Page 26 1. CONDUCTORS Conductors are defined as materials that easily allow the flow of _________. Metals are _______ conductors while insulators are ______ . The 2 common metals used for conductors in the electrical trade are: ___________ and ______________. Aluminium has become more prevalent for larger C.S.A. conductors as it is cheaper and lighter but more brittle than copper. Current/ Copper/ Aluminium Thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) consists of an outer toughened sheath of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (the thermoplastic element) covering one or more individual cables which are PVC insulated annealed copper conductors. It is a commonly used type of wiring for residential and light commercial construction in many countries. The flat version of the cable with two insulated conductors and an uninsulated earth conductor all within the outer sheath is referred to as twin and earth. In mainland Europe, a round equivalent is more common. Flat cables (or festoon cables) are made in PVC and Neoprene and are used as trailing cables for cranes, open filed conveyors and shelve service devices. Flat cables offer the advantages of extremely small bending radius’s, high flexibility and minimum wastage of space.

  • Pdf Grade 11 Physics Week 6 Lesson 2
    Ministry of Education Secondary Engagement Programme Grade 11 Physics WEEK 6 Lesson 2 Topic: Electricity Sub-topic: Electricity in Home Objective: Given information and with the aid of diagrams, students will: i. discuss the reasons for using parallel connections of domestic appliances; ii. explain the purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker and the earth wire; iii. select a fuse or circuit breaker of suitable current rating for a given appliance; iv. state the adverse effects of connecting electrical appliances to an incorrect or fluctuating voltage supply. Content: Distributing electricity Electrical energy is most efficiently generated and distributed using alternating current. Most Caribbean countries, and also the USA, utilize an a.c. frequency of 60 Hz. A few territories use a frequency of 50 Hz. Minimizing Power Loss When current travels along a wire, the wire becomes hot and heat energy is lost to the atmosphere. Power is lost according to the formula P = I2 R where P is the power lost, I is the current in the wire and R is the resistance of the wire To minimize power loss, two approaches are used in distribution systems. i. Keep the resistance (R) of the conducting wires as small as possible. The transmission wires, therefore, have larger diameters, since thick wires have less resistance per unit length than thin wires. ii. A second approach is to use small currents in the wires. To achieve this, the power is sent at very high voltages. Household electric circuits Parallel wiring 68 Ministry of Education Secondary Engagement Programme Grade 11 Physics Parallel wiring is used in household circuits rather than series connections so that appliances can be controlled individually without affecting other devices.
