    Study Notes

    Electrical Hazards and Safety

    • Earthing is a protective measure, not an electrical hazard.
    • Explosion, electric burns, and electric shocks are classified as electrical hazards.

    Protection Mechanisms

    • A conductor connecting the metal body of an electric motor to the ground protects personnel.
    • Proper grounding prevents electrical shock and equipment damage.

    Multi-tester Functions

    • The ohm (Ω) function of a multi-tester measures continuity in cables.
    • To measure current in an indicator lamp, connect the multi-tester in series with the lamp.

    Measurement Instruments

    • An ohm meter is specifically used to check the winding resistance of a three-phase motor.
    • A clamp meter can measure current in a 2 Hp single-phase motor effectively.

    Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

    • PPE is designed to protect various body parts including head, face, eyes, body, hands, and feet.
    • Proper PPE reduces risk during electrical work.

    Safety Practices

    • Leaving live conductors or rotating parts exposed poses a significant risk to life.
    • Operating equipment as per manufacturer's recommendations enhances safety.

    Multi-tester Handling

    • Setting a multi-tester to current mode and placing it across a load can damage the multi-tester.
    • It's crucial to measure current accurately without placing it across a load.

    Resistance Measurement

    • Resistance measurements require the power supply to be off and capacitors discharged to ensure safety and accuracy.

    Electrical Diagrams

    • Wiring diagrams are most useful for tracing faults in a starting air compressor.
    • A well-documented schematic visualizes the electric circuit layout and functionality.

    Diagram Types and Functions

    • Block diagrams simplify the relationships among system elements and operations.
    • Circuit diagrams represent the complete workings of a circuit with essential parts and connections.
    • Wiring diagrams detail connections between components, often with approximate physical positions shown.

    Operation Understanding

    • A circuit diagram helps readers comprehend operational sequences from initiation to final actions within the electrical system.
