  • 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.

    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.

Read these important safeguards and carefully follow the installation instructions. • Ensure the cable has been stored properly and is in good condition prior to commencing installation. • Always use safe working practices when installing cables, observing OSHA and other national safety rules. • Store cables indoors in a clean, dry, covered area, if possible. • During the time that the cables are exposed and during cable pulling activities, protect cables from nearby or overhead work to prevent damage to the cable sheath. • Do not pull cables around corners that have sharp edges, such as corners in cable trays, or other obstructions. • Prevent damage to cables by removing any abrasions or sharp edges from surface of support system. • Damage to cables or components can cause sustained electrical arcing or fire. Do not energize cables that have been damaged. Damaged cable or terminations may need to be repaired or replaced. Damaged cable should be repaired by a qualified person. • When installing cables which may be exposed to hydrocarbon flash fires, use only steel or stainless steel in the support system. ii | nVent.com Table of Contents General Information

  • 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.
