.Many studies have attested that renewable energy sources are more than enough to meet the current energy demand worldwide, although the estimates of such potential vary in the literature. Aside their enormous potential, renewable energy sources offer further advantages in that, they ―enhance diversity in energy supply markets, secure long term sustainable energy supplies and reduce local and atmospheric emissions‖ . Additionally, under certain conditions such as in developing countries and rural areas, renewable energy sources are more cost-effective sources of energy for the provision of energy services while creating new employment opportunities and possibilities for local manufacturing Call us on 0266962980/0209098715 any electrical and soler energy problems

All life on earth is supported by the sun. This amazing resource radiates energy and provides us both heat and light by fusing hydrogen into helium at its core. We call this solar radiation. Only about half of this solar radiation makes it to the Earth’s surface. The rest is either absorbed or reflected by clouds and the atmosphere. Still, we receive enough power from the sun to meet the power demands of all mankind — millions of times over. Solar energy—power from the sun—is a vast, inexhaustible, and clean resource.

Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and businesses, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of other commercial and industrial uses. Most critical, given the growing concern over climate change, is the fact that solar electricity generation represents a clean alternative to electricity from fossil fuels, with no air and water pollution, no global warming pollution, no risks of electricity price spikes, and no threats to our public health.

An electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, or energy meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device.

ECG uses energy meters installed at customers' premises to measure electric energy delivered to their customers for billing purposes. They are calibrated in billing units (kilowatt hour [kWh]).Meters of different accuracy classes are used for different purposes and applications (e.g. Residential, Non-residential, Industrial, etc.) based on the accuracy requirement. Generally, two broad types of meters are in use in ECG. These are as follows:

Whole Current
Transformer Operated

WHOLE CURRENT METERS

These meters are connected directly at the entry of the circuit to be measured. They are mostly utilised for Residential and Non-Residential customers with low energy requirements. Broadly, they are classified according to the technology used, and are as follows:

Electromechanical
Electronic
Electromechanical

The Electromechanical Meter operates by counting the revolutions of a non-magnetic, but electrically conductive, a metal disc which is made to rotate at a speed proportional to the power passing through the meter. The number of revolutions is thus proportional to the energy usage. The voltage coil consumes a small and relatively constant amount of power, typically around 2 watts which is not registered on the meter. The current coil similarly consumes a small amount of power in proportion to the square of the current flowing through it, typically up to a couple of watts at full load, which is registered on the meter.

The electromechanical meters are all credit meters and are typically:

Single phase credit meter
Three phase credit meter
Electromechanical meters are usually of accuracy class 2, i.e., ±2% variation of the nominal value. Call us on 0266962980/0209098715 for any electrical problems

Overloaded power strip

I know we have all done it from time to time and it will probably happen again. That's right, I'm talking about overloading a circuit or drop cord with too many devices. Instead of us running another circuit or extension cord to a different circuit to split the electrical load, we just keep adding devices until the circuit breaker trips.Electrical circuit overloads happen when more amperage is put across an electrical wire or circuit than it can handle.

For instance, a #14 wire can safely carry 15 amps and should be protected by a 15-amp breaker. If it happens to get connected to a 20-amp breaker instead, the breaker will allow 20 amps of current to flow through a wire that can only handle 15 amps. The wire and breaker start to heat up and could cause start an electrical fire.

Ampacity can be calculated by dividing the amount of wattage by the voltage. Let's say you have a 1,000-watt hair dryer that runs on 120 volts. Divide that out and you'll get 10 amps of current draw. On a 20-amp circuit, that's half of the circuit used already.

Now, think about having a meal at your house. You plug in a couple of crock pots that each draw 1,000 watts of power and you can see how the circuit is at maximum capacity. The problem is, that likely there are other things plugged in also and undoubtedly the circuit will trip. In this case, the only way to solve the problem is to plug one of the devices into another outlet on a different circuit.

As a rule of thumb, remember that anything with a motor needs its own circuit. That way, you'll always have enough circuit for the device being plugging into it. Likewise, things like portable heaters need to each have their own individual circuits. This is extremely dangerous if more than one portable heater is connected to the same circuit.

Cable selection is guided by two main principles. First, the cable should be able to carry the current load imposed on it without overheating. It should be able to do this in the most extreme conditions of temperature it will encounter during its working life. Second, it should offer sufficiently sound earthing to (1) limit the voltage to which people are exposed to a safe level and (2) allow the fault current to trip the fuse or MCB in a short time.
To meet these requirements requires consideration of the circuit load current, the ambient temperature, installation technique, cable thickness and length, and the over-current protection device. In some cases you may need to consider factors that are outside your control, like the external earth loop impedance. Typical 'worst-case' values for these factors are given in the article.

In electricity supply systems, an earthing system or grounding system is circuitry which connects parts of the electric circuit with the ground, thus defining the electric potential of the conductors relative to the Earth's conductive surface. Call us on 0266962980/0209098715

A cable is two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted, or braided together to form a single assembly. The term originally referred to a nautical line of specific length where multiple ropes, each laid clockwise, are then laid together anti-clockwise and shackled to produce a strong thick line, resistant to water absorption, that was used to anchor large ships.
