Europe is investing in its ambitious project using the available resources. Their plan is to put in place the infrastructure and market conditions so that the electricity generated by offshore projects can be fed into grid and brought to where it is needed.

Understand electrical circuit – comparison with water system

To understand the physically the circuit can be thought as a closed water system. It is just for the novice learners so that they can understand the electrical network physically without complex imagination. It is not like that is not analogous to other mechanical system. But for the learners who are first learning this they may find it difficult to compare it with mechanical system. Besides this, a water system is easy to understand physically. If a student wants to think further about the electrical characteristics he can easily do it.

Now what is this comparison? Let’s take the example of water connection of your washroom. Here the water initially stored in the overhead tank. Then through the pipe connection it reaches to the every taps in the washroom. When the taps are not opened still they contain the water inside the pipe. And they are ready to flow the water when the tap will open.

What if someone know whether you are at home by simply stealing your electricity consumption details? What if someone knows how much electricity you are using for certain appliances and sends you corresponding marketing material? What if a simple cyber attack can create blackout?

Thermal ImagingReading some forum discussions around loose electrical connections, it is obvious there are two camps of thoughts: one promotes regular retorquing or retightening of the , while the other calls for .

But I guess the question is not even about retightening or thermal imaging of wire terminals …

I would like to share a problem I face when I have to install a device type 1 in high power . I already asked this question on another blog, and I’m trying to get more feedbacks from electrical engineers.

The situation is very “unconfortable” for me as a quality provider, because if a short-circuit of high value happens, though luckily probability is low, it would mean very serious safety risks …
