    Circuit Switch: Functions & Application

    The Circuit Switch is an electric device, in the form of a switch designed to power on/off the circuit to interrupt it in the presence of a faulty current. In the situation of current leakage, the switch gets activated to interrupt and protect the circuit and the devices connected to it. Hence, securing the circuit and other electronics from any possible damage. The switch...

    Earth Fault Relay: An Overview

    The Earth Fault Relay is an electrical protection device, designed to detect low earth leakage current and safeguard humans and electrical equipment from earth leakage or faults. In situations like insulation failure or the presence of moisture etc, when the live portion comes in contact, indirectly with the earth or grounding, a low level of current leakage is caused. Earth Fault Relay helps identify...

    All you need to know about earth leakage relay

    The presence of any faulty currents may cause wires to overheat or lead to hazardous voltages emerging on earthed equipment, causing fire or life-threatening hazards. To avoid situations like these, protective devices capable of disconnecting energy from the load, are required. One such protective device is the Earth Leakage Relay. Earth Leakage Relay as the name suggests is an electronic device that detects earth...
  • Difference Between The Earth Leakage Relay & Earth Fault Relay

    Difference Between The Earth Leakage Relay & Earth Fault Relay

    Both Earth Leakage Relay and Earth Fault Relay are protective devices designed to safeguard from earth leakage or faults. The major difference is that one is designed to safeguard the electronics while the other protects the human from electric shocks. Both function on the fundamental rule of detecting stray voltages and providing protection by interrupting the circuit. Besides the basic difference, other major differences...

    Earth Fault: Causes, Effect & Protection Devices

    Before we get to discussing the causes and effects of an earth fault or possible solutions to protect against earth fault, it is important to first know what exactly is an earth fault. An Earth Fault is an Open Circuit fault where any live conductor or power-carrying cable breaks and gets into contact with the earth's surface. In other words, it is a situation...
  • Social Aspects Before Technology Choice

    Social Aspects Before Technology Choice

    Till now we have been discussing various aspects of different types of electronics. But above all comes the very essential point to keep in mind while choosing any type of technology is its social implication. Society and technology co-exist and are codependent. We choose technology based on our needs, with factors like the economic aspect, the technical specifications, features and application being key points...

    Solar Pumping System: Advantages & Disadvantages

    Be it a solar water pump or the traditional water pumping system, both operate to pump water from one source point to another. Both are considered functional and have their own set of pros and cons. On one side, where the traditional pumping systems offer cheaper technology, they come with maintenance costs, are noisy and also cause disturbance in nature by emitting harmful fume....

    Solar Pumping System: What, Why & How?

    Supply of clean, safe, and sustainable water is an essential need in every region of the world but unfortunately, a large number of people lack the provision of this basic facility. Groundwater is an easy solution to this growing concern but mostly diesel-fuelled systems are used to pump out groundwater. These systems are neither eco-friendly and neither are economically viable for many. Solar Pumping...

    Types of Fan Regulators

    Fan regulators are devices that help control or regulate the speed of fans. Installed with a circular knob, they directly control the speed with which the ceiling fan's motor rotates. Usually, they are a part of the switchboard or can also be installed as a separate device. Based on various factors, there are different types of regulators available in the market: Resistive Regulator: The...
