AR 353 BUILDING UTILITIES 2 (ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS, AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS) AAParungao ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS 1. GENERAL 1.1 Definition of Electricity Electricity is a form of energy generated by friction, introduction, or chemical change, having magnetic chemical and radiant effects. It is the motion of free electrons through a solid conductor. An electric current travels at the speed of light and, therefore the rate of conduction of an electric current is considered instantaneous. form of energy generated by friction, induction Notes: William gilbert "father of electricity" 1. William Gilbert an English Physicist is considered as “Father of Electricity” for his studies on “Electric Attraction” and “The Electric Force”. 2. Electricity is a property of the primary particles of matter, which like an atom, consists of a negative charge, an electron; the positive charge is a proton; and the neuron, which is not electrically charged. -dynamic electricity (electrodynamic) -static electricity (electrostatic) 3. There are two (2) general classes of electricity: dynamic electricity (electrodynamic) which flows through a substance in the form of an electric current, and static electricity (electrostatic). 1.2 Sources of Electricity combination of 2 or more electric cells for storing and supplying direct current by A. BATTERY electrochemical means. A combination of two or more electric cells capable of storing and supplying direct current by electrochemical means. delivers electricity as soon its parts assembled 1. Primary Batteries – delivers electricity as soon as its parts are assembled or assembled, provided it is connected to a circuit. https://www.theengineeringknowledge.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Types-of-Battery.jpg 1|P a g e  AR 353 BUILDING UTILITIES 2 (ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS, AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS) AAParungao electricity from some external source must be passed through it before it could be delivered 2. Secondary / Storage Batteries - electricity from some external source must be passed (changing the battery) through it before it can deliver an electric current “changing the battery”. The main uses are: to supply emergency circuits for hallways, stairways, and exits and to energize police and fire alarm systems and certain types of signal systems. main purposes: supply emergency circuits for hallways, stairways and exit to energize police and fire alarm systems https://www.theengineeringknowledge.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Secondary-Battery-Types.jpg B.

TRANSFORMERS 1 voltage to another from lower to higher (step-up transformer) from higher to lower (step-down transformer) For converting one voltage to another from lower to higher (step-up transformer) from higher to lower (step-down transformer). The two types of transformers are the a) Oil –insulated Transformers and the b) Dry type transformers. 1.
