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 (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
