AWARENESS AND RECOGNITION OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

-
  AWARENESS AND RECOGNITION OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES Recognise your domestic appliances Safe use of domestic appliances Electrical consumption of electrical appliances Minimize the electric bill Aware about all specification of electric appliances A domestic appliance is a device which assist in household function like cooking , cleaning, food preservation. They varies in size from small to big. Small appliances are very useful and easy to carry. You can carry it from one place to another without any hassle. You can find it mostly in your kitchen. They includes juicer, electric mixer, micro oven, deep fryers, electric kettles, coffee maker etc. Major appliances are big in size and very difficult to carry from one place to another. They are air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machine etc Safe use of domestic appliances Make sure switch is off before plugging the cord of appliance Unplug all electric appliances when they are not in use or if you are going to clea...

CLASS VII- INTRODUCTION TO ALTERNATING CURRENT AND DIRECT CURRENT

-
  What is AC & DC? Alternating current u   Obtained from power plant, AC generator u   Current reverse its direction. Current is not unidirectional. u   Frequency of AC is 50Hz (in India) or 60Hz depends on country. u   Flow of electron keep switching direction- forward or backward. u   Safe to transfer over longer city distances and can provide more power. Direct current u   Obtained from battery, fuel cell, solar cell. u   Current always flow from positive to negative terminal of battery. u   Frequency of DC is zero. u   Flow of electron steadily in one direction. u   Voltage of DC can not travel very far until it begins to lose energy.     What is the frequency of alternating current in India ? ( 50 Hz)   u   AC can even be changed to DC by an adapter that you might use to power the battery on your laptop. u   Rectifier is used to convert AC into DC. u   In...

  Important Electrical Tools -   Names with pictures and uses In this article we will see electrical tools used by electrician to perform electrical work. Go through the  pictures to recognize electrical tools. you will find name of tool and its uses,  mentioned below each picture. To complete an electrical work we need some collection of basic hand tools , special tools and measuring instruments. By use of electrical tools we can complete our electrical task easily with less effort and time. Wire crimper – Joining 2 pieces of metal or other ductile material ( usually a wire and a metal plate) by deforming one both of them to hold the other. Wire stripper – for removing an insulation from conductor, without losing conductor core. Used to remove insulation of medium sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to gauge #16. Nose pliers – in abnormal condition , we use this tool to cut a wire. Cutting pliers – It is used to cut a wire. Channel Lock Pliers – are a type of slip...
