Earthing or grounding It is the process of transferring the immediate discharge of electrical energy directly to the Earth with the help of the low-resistance wire. The electrical earthing is carried out by connecting the non-current-carrying part of the equipment or the neutral part of the supply system to the ground. A safety measure devised to prevent people from getting shocked if the insulation inside electrical devices fails is called Earthing. The third pin in the plug is actually the “Earth” or “Ground” connection of the electrical appliance. The Earth, being a good conductor of electricity, acts as a convenient path for the flow of electrons that escape the insulation. Furthermore, the gigantic size of the Earth paves a path for the safe discharge of the electric charge. Why is Earthing/Grounding necessary? There are 3 mains reasons why all electric devices need to be connected to the Earth. Human Safety -  A properly earthed device doesn’t leak out any current. This preve...

APFC or Automatic Power Factor Control Panels are used for sustainment of Power Factor as per State Electricity Board. If this power factor is not maintained then consumer need to pay penalty for it which comes along with electricity bill. Power Factor is defined as ratio of active power to apparent power and it is mainly a key factor in measuring electrical consumption.  Everyone knows that how costly electricity is computed now-a-days. Therefore it becomes very much important to reduce on electrical consumption for reducing expenditure and economizing the utility expenses by harnessing electrical utility by operation at desired power factor to reduce unwanted electricity penalty rising because of continuous power factor drop.  What actually APFC panel do? APFC panel has micro controller which stage wise detects the power factor value, if the power factor goes below 0.9 (lagging) it automatically connects capacitor banks to improve it. Capacitor  banks are designed as ...

The electrical insulator  is a device that provides the required insulation between the line conductor and earth. Due to this insulation, leakage current can’t flow from the line conductor to earth. Insulator a material or a device which restrics the flow of free electrons (or charge).  The successful operation of an overhead line depends to a considerable extent upon the proper selection of insulation.  Importance of Electrical Insulators- The insulator work as a Protector or Protective device. Because it provides high resistance. Insulator helps to protect from heat, noise, and electricity. The insulator is used to support the overhead conductor. It is commonly used to insulate the live parts of equipment or conductor from the earth. The live conductor is protected by wrapping the insulation. It helps to protect switchgear, transformers. Properties of Electrical Insulator- The electrical insulator has a high resistivity. Insulator has good mechanical strength for the c...
