Study Notes
Electrical Engineering Concepts
- The main function of a substation is to transmit and distribute electrical power.
Electrical Units
- 'Kva' refers to kilovolt-ampere, a unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit.
- The fundamental difference between 'Kva' and 'Kw' is that Kva measures apparent power, while Kw measures real power.
Electrical Circuits
- Voltage represents the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit.
Power Plant Design
- The primary focus of power plant design is to produce electrical power efficiently.
Building Types
- Commercial establishments are distinguished from institutional buildings by their purpose and layout.
Practice of Electrical Engineering
- The practice of electrical engineering includes designing, installing, operating, and maintaining electrical systems, as stated in the New Electrical Engineering Law.
- A person is deemed to be in the practice of electrical engineering if they provide professional electrical engineering services that require knowledge and expertise.
- Professional electrical engineering services require knowledge and skill under the New Electrical Engineering Law.
- The primary focus of the New Electrical Engineering Law is to regulate and standardize the practice of electrical engineering.
Excluded Activities
- Selling electrical materials and equipment is NOT considered part of the practice of electrical engineering under the New Electrical Engineering Law.
