Electrical Basics
Electrical Energy Basics
Electric current is divided into two types: Directional Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC).
Alternating Current
A current which reverses regularly in recurring intervals of time and which has alternately positive and
negative values, and occurring a specified number of times per second. (Example: Household electricity
produced by generators, Electricity supplied by utilities.)
Characteristics:
• Direction of the current reverses periodically with time
• Voltage (tension) between two points of the circuit changes polarity with time.
• In 50 cycle AC, current reverses direction 100 times a second (two times during one cycle)

Electrical Basics
Ampere (A)
Current is the rate of flow of charge. The ampere is the basic unit of electric current. It is that
current which produces a specified force between two parallel wires, which are 1 metre apart in
a vacuum.
Voltage (V)
The volt is the International System of Units (SI) measure of electric potential or electromotive
force. A potential of one volt appears across a resistance of one ohm when a current of one
ampere flows through that resistance.
Resistance
Resistance = Voltage/Current
The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω)
Ohm' Law
According to Ohm's law,” the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential
difference across it, provided the temperature and other external conditions remain constant.”
JP 12
Definitions:
•Conductor: A substance through which electricity flows easily such as copper, aluminum (wires, cables,
bus-bars, etc.)
•Insulator: A substance through which electricity cannot flow easily such as wood, glass, etc.
•Volt: the unit pressure with which electric current flows through conductor
•Circuit: a circuit is a path between two or more points along which an electrical current can be carried
continuously.
•Short Circuit: A short circuit is a direct contact between a live and a neutral conductor or a live conductor
and earth.
JP 13
Electrical Circuit
An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. The point
where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point
where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground"
JP 14
Electrical Phases
• Alternating electrical circuits are arranged in Two types of Phases. Single Phase & Three Phases
• In general, the phase in electricity is the current or the voltage among an existing wire as well as a
neutral cable.
• Phase means the distribution of load.
• If a single wire is used, an additional load will occur on it & if three wires are used then loads will be
separated between them.

Electrical Phases
A single phase system consists of just two conductors (wires): one is called the phase, through which the
current flows and the other is called neutral, which acts as a return path to complete the circuit.
In a three – phase system, we have a minimum of three conductors or wires carrying AC voltages. It is more
economical to transmit power using a 3 – phase power supply when compared to a single phase power
supply as a three – phase supply can transmit three time the power with three conductors when compared to
a two – conductor single – phase power supply.
Hence, most of the power generated and distributed is actually a 3 – phase power (but majority of
households receives a single phase supply).
Star and Delta Connections are the two types of connections in a 3 – phase circuits. A Star
Connection is a 4 – wire system and a Delta Connection is a 3 – wire system.

Electrical Phases
JP 30
Single phase
• Normally small buildings are supplied with electricity by
two wires, one phase wire and the other neutral. This is
known as single phase supply
• Gives a voltage for the premises of 240 volts.
• The loading of the supply wiring is balanced between
the phases by using the phases in rotation so that each
one services every third building.
Three phase
• In three phases, four wire bring 415/ 240 volts, 50 cycle
per second.
• The voltage between any two of the phases wires is 415
Volts. And between any phase wire and the neutral is
240 volts.
• The balancing of load is then achieved by serving
different areas of the building by different phases.
• Electric motor are usually designed for three phase
operation.

Kilowatt-hour (kWh)
• Kilowatt-hour is the energy consumed by 1000 Watts in one hour.
• If 1kW (1000 watts) of a electrical equipment is operated for 1 hour, it would consume 1 kWh of
energy (1 unit of electricity).
• For a company, it is the amount of electrical units in kWh recorded in the plant over a month for billing
purpose.
• The company is charged / billed based on kWh consumption.

Resistor:
As you could probably guess from the name, a resistor increases the resistance of a
circuit. The main purpose of this is to reduce the flow of electricity in a circuit
Capacitors :
Capacitors store and release electrical charge. They are used for filtering power supply
lines, tuning resonant circuits, and for blocking DC voltages while passing AC signals,
among numerous other uses.
Inductor :
An inductor is essentially a coil of wire. In some ways, an inductor is the opposite of a
capacitor. While a capacitor stores voltage as electrical energy, an inductor stores current
as magnetic energy. Thus, a capacitor opposes a change in the voltage of a circuit, while
an inductor opposes a change in its current

Lightening Arrestor
This system includes –
1. Air Terminal: rooftop lightning rod of a conductive metal strip
or rod (copper) 300m radial coverage
2. Single / Multiple conductive paths (G.I. / Copper) from the
roof to the ground
3. Earthing. This system is necessary for high-rise or isolated
structures to protect buildings from lightning strikes.
Lightning rods are fixed at the highest point of the building.
Nowadays, an effective system called Early Streamer
Emission Lighting rods is being used.
JP 90
Earthing
All electrical installations are needed to be connected to three-wire system (phase, neutral and earth) by
three-pin socket. The earthing system has a direct route to the soil to protect people from getting
electrical shocks during any fault occur in the installations. Earth wire terminates at the ground by burying
in a pit, filled with brick, sand and at the top with soil and usually kept moist.

Electric meter
The electric meter (multiple tariff in the example below) is the junction element between our residence and
the power distribution network.
It is accompanied by a circuit breaker.
The electric meter is designed to measure the energy consumption over time. It’s a watt-hour meter.
Electrical panel
The electrical panel is the
nerve centre of our installation.
The various circuits within the
residence all start from it. It
also contains major protection
elements, for both people and
equipment, such as circuit
breakers, fuses and RCDs.
JP 107
Distribution Boards (D.B.): It is the Main distribution board inside the premises where the
supply cable enters directly from the electrical meter and then distributed to various load centers
or circuits. It contains main switch, fuses for each circuit, M.C.B. It is usually located near the
main entrance or at the convenient central common area.
MCB
Circuit Breaker:
Circuit breakers are used instead of fuse. Disconnection of the circuit is made by means of thermal or magnetic switches
which cut off the circuit immediately whenever over loading occurs. The principle of bi-metallic expansion due to thermal or
magnetic field causes such breaking of circuits. They can be reset immediately without replacing anything. They are more
expensive than fuses but more efficiently control the safety aspects.
Fuse: each section of wiring must be protected by providing a fuse wire (of slightly higher rating) in the
circuit from current passing higher voltage than that which is safe for wiring and installations. When the fuse
blows, the electric current is cut off preventing over heating of the wire causing short circuit and fire.
Cartridge fuse: it serves the same purpose in an electric circuit as the standard fuse wire. A cartridge fuse
contains a wire held in a small ceramic tube with metal ends. This type of fuse is easy to replace when
blown. It is thrown away and replaced with a new one, so it is costlier.

Bus-bars: For distribution of heavy loads, instead of large numbers and sizes of insulated cables, bare copper
or aluminum bars / flats are used. Distribution cables are connected with cable-tap connectors in flexible
positions. Usually the length is short. Bus-bar ducting, bus-bar trunking are suitable for industrial, commercial
installations even adapted in high-rise buildings.
Overhead Wiring:
For large installations such as industries, commercial premises, etc. where large numbers and sizes of cables
are needed to travel, cable trays are mounted from the ceiling or at upper part of the wall to carry cables.
