Overcurrent and Protection Against Overcurrent

Overcurrent is a critical issue in electrical systems, posing significant risks to equipment, infrastructure, and human safety. It occurs when the current flowing through a circuit exceeds the design limits, potentially leading to overheating, fires, and equipment damage. Understanding overcurrent and implementing effective protection mechanisms is essential for maintaining the reliability and safety of electrical […]

Common Causes of Voltage Drop

Understanding Voltage Drop Voltage drop occurs when there is a reduction in electrical potential (voltage) as current flows through a conductor. This phenomenon is natural but can become problematic when it exceeds acceptable limits, leading to inefficient electrical systems and even equipment damage. Let’s explore the common causes of voltage drop: 1. Resistance in Conductors:

Over Voltage in Electrical Systems

Understanding Voltage in Electrical Systems Before exploring into the concept of overvoltage, let’s first understand what voltage is. In simple terms, voltage can be defined as the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. It is measured in volts (V) and determines the flow of electric current. In an electrical system, voltage is

Faulty Electrical Wiring

Faulty Electrical Wiring – One of the common reason that we hear when there is a fire incident. Most of  these fires and incidents of electrocution are attributed to “faulty electrical wiring;” “faulty electrical wiring”– a term used when there is an electrical-related fire in the Philippines. Is there a faulty electrical wiring?– There is no
