Electron in motion. It is a property of the basic particles of matter consists of the following; A. Electron – Referred to as the negative charge of electricity. B. Proton – Referred to as the positive charge of electricity. That weighs about 1,850 times as much as electron. C. Neutron – Referred to as the positive charge of electricity. That weighs about 1,850 times as much as electron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8WauHZ2Lo8&feature=emb_logo INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY Types of electricity Static Electricity Static electricity is the result of an accumulation of electric charges that occurs when two non- metallic objects rub against each other. Electrons jump from one object to the other, causing a positive charge in one and a negative charge in the other. Dynamic Electricity Dynamic electricity is the flow of electric charges through a conductor; in other words, an electric current. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY The Electron Theory The Electron Theory states that all matter is made of electricity. All atoms are believed to be composed of electrons which are minute particles of negative electricity. Everything about us is composed of electricity. The electrons, under certain circumstances, can be forced from the atom. Electrical phenomena occur when some of these electron is moved or when the electrical balance which normally is obtained with the atom is disturbed. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY Sources of Electricity Friction Static electricity generated by the action of friction between two materials. Chemical Action Chemical that reacts in the electrodes to produce electrical energy. Light Action Electricity is generated through solar energy. Heat Action Steam under pressure that is used to move the axis of electric generators. Pressure Electricity is generated by releasing a controlled flow of high-pressure water through a forced conduit. Mechanical Action Electricity is generated by rotating machines such as turbines. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY Effects of Electricity Electricity is one form of energy which could not be seen, but its present could be detected though numerous effects as follows; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Luminous Thermal Mechanical Photoelectric Magnetic Chemical Physiological Effect Effect Effect Effect Effect Effect Effect Lighting Heating Rotating Photocells Electromagnet Electroplating Therapy machines Thank You Basic Electrical Engineering http://www.free-powerpoint-templates-design.com http://www.free-powerpoint-templates-design.com Electricity Components Week 3 TOPIC AGENDA AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES Discussion on Voltage, Discussion on Electric 01 Current, and Resistance 02 Power. Introduction to Ohm’s 03 Law ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Voltage Also called electromotive force, a quantitative expression of the potential difference in charge between two points in an electric field. Is the pressure from an electrical circuit’s power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating light, driving a motor, heating, etc. In brief, voltage = pressure, and it is measured in volts (V). The term recognizes Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), inventor of the voltaic pile—the forerunner of today's household battery. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Voltage Voltage is either alternating current (ac) voltage or direct current (dc) voltage. Alternating current voltage flows in evenly sine waves. It reverses direction at regular intervals. It is also produced by utilities via generators, where mechanical energy (movement of the turbine via hydro, wind, steam and heat energy) is converted to electrical energy. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Voltage Direct current voltage travels in a straight line, and in one direction only. Sources of DC voltage have positive and negative terminals. Terminals establish polarity in a circuit, and polarity can be used to determine if a circuit is DC or AC. Commonly used in battery powered portable equipment and devices. (Laptops, cellphones, electric scooters, flashlights, cameras, etc. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Current Current is a flow of electrical charge, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms, moving through an electrical conductor. The SI unit of current is Ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. The conventional symbol for current is I, which originated from the French phrase intensite du courant (current intensity). The symbol I was used by Andre-Marie Ampere, after whom the unit of electric current was named, in formulating Ampere’s force law. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Current Electric current can be either direct or alternating. Direct current (DC) flows in the same direction at all points in time (sometimes called unidirectional flow), although the instantaneous magnitude of the current might vary. Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Old name for direct current was galvanic current. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Current In alternating current, the movement of electric charge periodically reverses direction. It is a form of electric power most commonly delivered to residences and business establishments. The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is sine wave, though certain applications use alternative waveforms such as triangular or square waves. Alternating current can also be converted to direct current through the use of a rectifier. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Resistance The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty of passing an electric current through a substance. Resistance, discovered by George Simon Ohm in 1827, is the ratio between voltage and current, with SI unit of ohm (Ω). It explains the relationship between voltage (amount of electrical pressure) and the current (flow of electricity).) The resistance of an object depends in large part on the material it is made of, Objects made of electrical insulators like rubber tend to have high resistance and low conductivity while objects made of electrical conductors like metals tend to have very low resistance and high conductivity. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Electric Power Electric power is the rate, per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. SI unit of power is Watt, named after 18th - century Scottish inventor James Watt, which is equivalent to one joule per second. The electric power in watts produced by an electric current I consisting of a charge Q coulombs every t seconds passing through and electric potential (voltage) difference of V. In equation, P – work done per unit time = VQ / t = VI. Electric power can be delivered over long distances by transmission lines and used for applications such as motion, light or heat, with high efficiency. Animation showing Animation showing Electric Load Power Source ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS The Ohm’s Law Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to its resistance. Ohm’s law is an empirical relation which accurately describes the conductivity of the vast majority of electrically conductive materials over many orders of magnitude of current. The law was named after the German Physicist Georg Ohm, who, in a treatise published in 18 27, described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various length of wire. ELECTRICITY COMPONENTS Ohm’s Law Sample Problems 1. Find the current in a circuit with 220VAC with 50 ohms resistance. 2.

The flow of electrons across the loop constitutes the electric current. Electrons enter the circuit through the source - which can be from battery or a generator. The source provides energy to the electrons, by setting up an electric field which provides the electromotive force. Electrical circuit is an interconnection of electrical elements such as the source, the switch and a load. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Basic Properties of Electrical Circuits Electrical circuit is always a closed path. Electrical circuit always consists of an energy source. Direction of flow of current is from positive terminal to negative terminal of the source (DC circuit) Direction of flow of electrons is from negative terminal to positive terminal of the source. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Basic Electrical Circuit Elements Active Circuit Elements Active circuit elements are those which can generate energy. Examples includes batteries, generators, transistors, op-amps, and diode. Source elements are the most significant active elements. Two types of source elements 1. Independent source Source that provide constant voltage/current to the circuit irrespective to the current flowing to the circuit terminals. Example - Generators and Batteries. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Basic Electrical Circuit Elements Active Circuit Elements 2. Dependent source Source that provide voltage/current to the circuit depending upon the differential input voltage applied to its terminals. Example – Transistors, Diodes, Op-Amps Diode Transistor Operational Amplifier ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Basic Electrical Circuit Elements Passive Circuit Elements Passive circuit elements can be defined as elements which can control the flow of electrons through them. They either increase or decrease the voltage. Examples of passive elements 1. Resistor A resistor opposes the flow of current through it. 2. Inductor An inductor stores energy in form of the electromagnetic field. The voltage across an inductor is proportional to the rate of change of current through it. 3. Capacitor A capacitor stores energy in form of the electrostatic field. The voltage across a capacitor is proportional to the charge. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuits Components Source – Provides voltage and current in the circuit Switches – Devices used to control the behavior of the load. Wires – a conducting path that carries electric current from one point to another in a circuit. Load – devices that consumes electric current of a circuit. Protection devices – safety devices used to protect the circuit from unwanted circumstances such as short circuit, surge, over voltage, etc. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram A circuit diagram is a visual representation of an electrical circuit. It also refers as Electrical Drawing. Circuit diagrams are represented by interconnection of lines and symbols to represent electrical components. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram Types of Circuit Diagrams 1. Block diagram Is a type of electrical drawing that represents the principle components of a complex system in the form of blocks interconnected by lines to represent their relation. It is the simplest form of electrical drawing as it only highlights the function of each component and provides the flow of process in the system. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 2. Schematic Circuit Diagrams Shows the complete electrical connections between components using their symbols and lines. It helps in showing the series and parallel connection between the components and the exact terminal connection between them. It is the most common type of electrical drawing and are mostly in implementing electrical circuits by electrical practitioners. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 3. Single Line Diagram (SLD) or One Line Diagram Is a representation of an electrical circuit using a single line. Single line diagrams is used for determining and isolating any fault equipment in any power system during troubleshooting. Single line diagrams does not show the electrical components but it shows the size and ratings of the components being used. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 4. Wiring Diagram Wiring diagram is used for the representation of electrical components in their approximate physical location using their interconnections using lines. Wiring diagram shows a pictorial view of the components such that it resembles its electrical connection, arrangement and position in real circuit.

Pictorial Diagram Pictorial diagram does not necessarily represent the actual circuit. In fact, it shows the visual appearance of the circuit in real time. It cannot be used to understand or troubleshoot the actual circuit. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 6. Ladder Diagram or Line Diagram Ladder diagrams are electrical diagrams that represents an electrical circuits in industries to document control logic systems. A ladder diagram is simple, easier to understand and helps in troubleshooting the circuit quickly. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 7. Logic Diagram Logic diagram represents a logic circuit by showing complex circuit and process using various blocks or symbols. The logic functions are represented by their logic symbols whereas the blocks are used to represent complex circuit logic circuit.

ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 8. Riser Diagram The riser diagram is the illustration of the physical layout of electrical distribution of the physical layout of electrical distribution in a multilevel building using a single line. The riser diagram got its name because it illustrates the power flow from one level to another. It does not specify the physical location of the equipment. It mainly focuses on the power distribution to the different appliances in a building on each level. Electrical practitioners rely on riser diagram of a building to avoid any potential electrical hazards. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuit Diagram 9.

Current source. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuits Behavior Closed Circuit An electric circuit has a source of Electromotive force and a load. This load acts as a conductor path. If the current flows through the load it is considered as a closed circuit. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuits Behavior Open Circuit If in a simple circuit one terminal is disconnected, then there is no flow of current through that circuit. This is said to be an open circuit or no-load condition. ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Electrical Circuits Behavior Short Circuit The term short circuit is most commonly used by electricians to refer to the situation in which a hot wire carrying live current touches a neutral wire. When this happens, resistance lessens instantly and a large volume of current flows through an unexpected pathway. When this classic short circuit occurs, sparks sometimes fly, you may hear crackling, and sometimes smoke and flames occur. Causes of Short Circuit 1. Faulty Circuit Wire Insulation 2.

Clamps electrical materials used to hold and anchor electrical conduits in its proper position. Connectors used to attach metallic or non-metallic conduit to the junction or utility boxes. ELECTRIC HOUSE WIRING Electrical Wiring Splices and Joints The following are the Common Electrical Wire Splices and Joints. Rat Tail or Pig Tail kind of joint is commonly used to join two or more conductors inside the junction box. It is suitable for service where there is no mechanical stress when wires are to be connected in an outlet box, switch, or conduit fitting. Y-splice method of wrapping is generally used on small cables because the strands are flexible and all can be wrapped in one operation. Knotted tap This is used where the tap wire is under heavy tensile stress. Staggered Splice The staggered splice is used on multiconductor cables to prevent the joint from being bulky. ELECTRIC HOUSE WIRING Electrical Wiring Splices and Joints Plain tap joint used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress circuit. Aerial tap is used as a temporary tap usually done in constructions sites. The easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement. Duplex cross joint a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used where the two tap wire is under heavy tensile stress. Cross joint The same application is done as in plain tap and the only difference is that this tap is a combination of two plain taps place side by side with each other. ELECTRIC HOUSE WIRING Electrical Wiring Splices and Joints Western Union Short-tie Splice. This is the most widely used splice or joint in interior wiring installation to extend the length of wire from one point to another. Western Union Long Tie This is used extensively for outside wiring to extend the length of wire from one end to another. Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint This is used on large solid conductors where it is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire around the main wire. ELECTRIC HOUSE WIRING Electrical Wiring Splices and Joints Fixture Joint The joint is used to connect a small-diameter wire, such as in a lighting fixture, to a larger diameter wire used in a branch circuit. Like the rattail joint, the fixture joint will not stand much strain. Knotted Tap Joint The branch wire is laid behind the main wire. About three-fourths of the bare portion of the branch wire extends above the main wire. Wire Nut and Split Bolt Splices The wire nut is a device commonly used to replace the rattail joint splice.

It shows how the electrical wires are interconnected and can also show where fixtures and components may be connected to the system. When and How to Use a Wiring Diagram Use wiring diagrams to assist in building or manufacturing the circuit or electronic device. They are also useful for making repairs. For example, a home builder will want to confirm the physical location of electrical outlets and light fixtures using a wiring diagram to avoid costly mistakes and building code violations. ELECTRICAL HOUSE WIRING Basic Electrical Wiring Diagrams How is a Wiring Diagram Different from a Schematic? A schematic shows the plan and function for an electrical circuit, but is not concerned with the physical layout of the wires. Wiring diagrams show how the wires are connected and where they should located in the actual device, as well as the physical connections between all the components. How is a Wiring Diagram Different from a Pictorial Diagram? Unlike a pictorial diagram, a wiring diagram uses abstract or simplified shapes and lines to show components. Pictorial diagrams are often photos with labels or highly-detailed drawings of the physical components. ELECTRICAL HOUSE WIRING Basic Electrical Wiring Diagrams Standard Wiring Diagram Symbols Most symbols used on a wiring diagram look like abstract versions of the real objects they represent. For example, a switch will be a break in the line with a line at an angle to the wire, much like a light switch you can flip on and off. A resistor will be represented with a series of squiggles symbolizing the restriction of current flow. An antenna is a straight line with three small lines branching off at its end, much like a real antenna.

It is a type of technical drawing that delivers visual representation and describes circuits and electrical systems. It consists of symbols and lines that showcase the engineer's electrical design to its clients. In short, an electrical plan describes the position of all the electrical apparatus. An electrical drawing may include all of these essential details described below: Interconnection of electrical wires and other parts of the system Connection of different components and fixtures to the system Power lines with details such as size, voltage, rating, and capacity Power transformers and also their winding connections The main switches, tiebreaker, and fused switches Other essential equipment such as solar panels, batteries, generators, air conditioning, and so on. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL PLAN Basics of an Electrical Plan INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL PLAN Purposes and Benefits of Electrical Plan Purposes of Electrical Plan The purposes of an electrical plan are as follows: These drawings are vital for documenting, communicating information, and troubleshooting your power systems on-site. Accurate and updated drawings keep your building in compliance with all the code regulations. A plan encompasses all aspects. It focuses on areas such as lighting, electronics, appliances, etc. It also considers the structure of the building. For example, if a building has railings, stairs, or any other components, modifications will be made accordingly. It is a thorough planning tool because it gives an in-depth view of your building's electrical and wiring system. It helps to distribute power to various appliances and equipment through accurate operation and installation of elements. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL PLAN Purposes and Benefits of Electrical Plan Benefits of Electrical Plan A plan highlights all the potential risks to make amendments quickly before the occurrence of any substantial damage. It helps to ensure that your system runs safely, efficiently, and smoothly. An electrical plan saves time by avoiding delays and problems. A draft pinpoints everything to prevent hazardous situations; thereby, it helps professionals to complete their work on time. It also saves money because nobody feels like spending more money than they already have. A draft includes all the details like wire's length, type of cables, and other parts you will need to complete your project. Thus, you do not have to spend a considerable amount of money on unnecessary things. An electrical plan prevents injury because it pinpoints all the building's anticipated areas that may harm a technician. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL PLAN Drafting an Electrical Plan How to Draft an Electrical Plan? An excellent electric plan significantly adds aesthetic and comfort in a building. Your drawing must include types of fixtures, locations, cables, switches, and hardwired appliances. However, an electrical plan may look scary and complicated, but they are not. These are pointers you should remember while drafting an electric plan. Step 1: Know Your Layout Either use a software or a graph paper and make a scale drawing of the different rooms. Make sure to include features such as cabinets, counters, stove, bed, and other various symbols. Step 2: Plan it in Advance After finalizing your layout, focus on your electrical plan. The wirings go through the ceilings, walls, and floor before they are plastered, laid out, and fixed. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL PLAN Drafting an Electrical Plan Step 3: Use Interior Layout as Your Starting Point Around your exits and entries, place your fan, AC switches, and light. Now, place your electrical outlets near the counters and tables. Then, decide where to put your big appliances like TV, computer, washing machine, printer, etc. When making an electrical plan, ask yourself some questions: Do I place switches at a convenient location? Is the electrical load on all the circuit alright? Do I place enough easy-to-reach receptacles? Step 4: Walk Through Your Plan Once you are finished with your layout, print it out, and walk through your home while holding it. Since there are no walls and electricity, the arrangement can be easily changed; therefore, imagine that you are turning on and plugging in appliances. This will enable you to put switches and outlets in the best places. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL PLAN Tips for Making Electrical Plans 1. Think About Furniture Placement Planning about how you are going to set your furniture is essential because you will have an idea where you are going to place your light switches and electrical outlets. Most people make this mistake, and they end up placing them at awkward places. 2. Plan for Additional Outlets Renovating can drain a considerable amount of money. Let's say you want to purchase side table lamps, kitchen ceiling lights, etc. You may not buy this now, but maybe after a few months or a year later. Having these additional electrical outlets will save you from a lot of mess. Thereby, it is crucial to plan for other appliances now. 3. Utilize Different Types of Lights Make sure to utilize different lighting types to illuminate your house adequately, such as accent lighting, ambient lighting, and task lighting.
