Study Notes
Electrical Basics
- Voltage: difference in charge between two points
- Current: rate of charge flow
- Resistance: material's opposition to current flow
Ohm's Law
- V = I x R (Voltage = Current x Resistance)
- Units: Volts (V), Amperes (A), Ohms (Ω)
- 1 Amp = 1 Coulomb
Series Circuits
- Components connected along a single path
- Same current flows through all components
- Total resistance is the sum of individual resistances
Parallel Circuits
- Current divides through separate paths
- Current to each element is separate
- If one element fails, the circuit continues
Direct Current (DC)
- Unidirectional current flow
Alternating Current (AC)
- Current periodically reverses direction
- Total positive and negative values of current are equal
Resistance (Series Circuit)
- Rseries = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn
Resistance (Parallel Circuit)
- 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn
Voltage in AC Circuits
- V = √(P / cosФ) where V = voltage, I = impedance, Ф = phase angle, P = true power
Power in DC Circuits
- P = VI where P = power (W), V = voltage, I = current
Power in AC Circuits
- P=V2cosФ/R where P = Power (W), V = Voltage, Ф = phase angle, R = Resistance
Joules Law
- P= I2R=IV=V2/R
- Calculate the amount of heat produced by Electrical Power
Capacitors
- Passive component consisting of two conductors separated by a dielectric
- Stores energy in an electric field
- Measured in farads (F)
Capacitance (Series Circuit)
- 1/Ct = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + ... + 1/Cn
Capacitance (Parallel Circuit)
- Cparallel = C1 + C2 + ... + Cn
Oscillators
- Electronic circuits designed to produce high-frequency alternating currents
Thermocouple
- A sensor that measures temperature, Converting heat energy into electrical energy
Inductors
- Passive components that store energy in a magnetic field
- Measured in Henries (H)
Electrical Shock Hazards
- Severity depends on current amount and duration
- Body resistance is a factor
- Different current levels produce different effects (e.g., 5mA, slight shock, 50-150 mA, freezing current)
Types of Burns
- Flash
- Arc
- Thermal
- Electrical
Explosions
- Arcing in combustible atmospheres
- Chemical reactions in presence of vapors can cause explosions
Wire Size and Length
- Longer wires have more resistance; higher resistance leads to more heat
- Wire gauge and type are important for safety
Hazards and Classifications
- Locations with flammable or ignitable mixtures require specific safety protocols
- Locations with combustible dust requires specific safety protocols
Locating Equipment
- Electrical equipment should be placed so people and other gear cannot contact
- Proper shielding and barriers should be in place for safety
Sealed Equipment
- Intrinsically safe electrical equipment is designed for hazardous environments, with reduced internal energy
Lockouts
- Using locks or tags for safety protection of equipment
- Used to prevent accidental activation of equipment, by controlling energy sources
Interlocks
- A switch to prevent access to energized equipment or dangerous locations
- Designed to shut off power when a door is opened or a panel is removed
