Topmost powerful tips on how electricity is generated    We all know that electricity is one of the most powerful sources which can simply be explained as the flow of electrical power or charge. Nowadays electricity that we are using is mostly generated from a power plant of a power generating station.  Note that, there are many ways through which electricity is generated but the most popularly known and used way through which electricity is generated is hydroelectricity which simply means related to water. Electricity is mostly generated from a power plant of a power generating station simply by the use of an electromechanical generator that has been driven by a heat engine that has fluid with combustion which has also involved kinematic energy of flowing water together with the wind.  Together a special turbine being fixed on the shaft of the electromechanical generator, the pressure of the water, steam or the air would then spin the turbine that is connected to th...

What are high voltage circuit breakers and types? We all know that electrical transmission networks are now protected and controlled by high voltage which varies but the transmission of power work is usually taught to be 72.5KV or higher.  High voltage circuit breakers are nearly always solenoid-operated with current sensing protective relays operated through a current transformer.  In substations, the protective relays scheme can be the complete protection equipment and buses from various types or categories of overload or ground or an earth fault. High voltage circuit breakers are broadly classified by the medium used to extinguish the arc. There are mainly four (4) categories or types of high voltage circuit breakers and these types or categories are namely; Air Circuit Breakers Oil Circuit Breakers SF6 Circuit Breakers Vacuum Circuit Breakers Air Circuit Breakers These are the types or categories of high voltage circuit breakers that are protective electrical devices used ...

  What are medium voltage circuit breakers?  These are some of the essential electrical installation circuit breakers that are specially designed and rated between a voltage from 1 and 72KV may be assembled into metal-enclosed switchgear lineups for indoor uses. Sometimes maybe individual components are installed outdoors in an electrical substation. Air breaks circuit breakers replaced oil-filled units for outdoor uses or applications, but are now themselves being replaced by a vacuum circuit breaker that is rated up to somewhere around 40.5KV.

  Top 4 necessary things to do before wiring a house as a professional electrical engineer Do you know that before you start to wire a house there are some important and necessary things that you must look at before wiring a house to ensure the safety of that particular house? Yes, for all we need to be safe from damages and outbreaks is safety. In today’s article, we are going to show to you the most important things to figure out before you start any electrical wiring and these important thing that you must do are listed and explained below.   Know the type of wiring Choose a quality cable for the wiring Make sure you select the right cable   Choose the right circuit protective devices    Know the type of wiring One of the best thing every electrician or an electrical engineer must know before starting any electrical wiring is to know the types of wiring that he/she would be doing for their client or customers for the purpose to  know how to go about...

Types of low voltage circuit breakers every engineer must know  Low voltage circuit breakers are simply a type or category of circuit breakers which we have learned earlier in our previous article. Generally, we all know those circuit breakers are specially designed or manufactured to be used in both homes or domestic wiring and transmission areas.  The low voltage circuit breakers are mostly the  types or categories of circuit breakers  used in domestic wiring. There are mainly 4 types of low voltage circuit breakers that are used to protect houses, homes, and workplaces. These types of circuit breakers are purposely designed for domestic use and low voltage areas of electricity. Low voltage circuit breakers are also designed to perform a specific function or to offer specific safety or protection to homes and offices. All the main types of low voltage circuit breakers are moving with their various rating, working principles, operations, and functions. Low voltage c...

  Top 3 powerful categories of circuit breakers every electrical engineer/engineer must know before doing any electrical installation Before we start with our topic of the day, let us take a look at what circuit breakers or breakers are. What is a circuit breaker? circuit breakers are simply electrical protective device that trips off automatically whenever there is an available faulty electric current or leakages flow through an electrical circuit or a particular circuit to keep other circuits intact. In all, there are mainly three (3) powerful categories of circuit breakers and they are moving with their own functions, areas of work, working principles, rating, and many more. Here are our top 3 categories of circuit breakers listed below; Low voltage circuit breakers  Medium-voltage circuit breakers High voltage circuit breakers Low voltage circuit breakers These are the types of circuit breakers that are commonly or popularly known circuit breakers that are designed to be u...
