Modern electrical systems are fairly reliable, and most of us don’t give them a second thought until they fail. But as we actively work to find alternative energy sources, working to become more sustainable by replacing carbon energy with greener methods, or simply delivering energy more efficiently to power modern technology, we need to know …
Human beings have taken the convenience of electrical systems for granted since the 1890s. And ever since then, we have all taken for granted that electricity will always come out of every plug and port that powers our modern digital world. We don’t appreciate exactly how much electricity flows, crackles, and surges throughout the electrical …
Electric currents or charges cannot travel freely through electrical insulator materials. Electrons have extremely little flexibility to drift from atom to atom in electrical insulator materials. When selecting a material for electrical insulation, you depend on its protection. As an illustration, you’ve probably noticed that the outside of your phone charger plug is plastic to …
Electricity is a fascinating creation. We rely on this tool for our everyday lives, yet its inner workings are a mystery to most people. Enter the resistor. Resistors are essential for mundane tools such as electric stoves, microwaves, and data centers. Without them, we’d be experiencing much more unstable technology and wasting electricity. If you …
Electrical safety is paramount when crafting — or upgrading — technology. Despite all our advances, we still have to exercise extreme caution when conducting tests. The function of HIPOT testing is to test the voltage strength of a given application. This function allows engineers, construction workers, and repair professionals to interact safely with various forms …
