SOLENOID    What is a Solenoid? Solenoid is the common name for a wire coil used as an electromagnet. It also refers to any device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using a solenoid. The device generates an electrical current magnetic field and uses the magnetic field to generate linear motion. Common applications

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which a nuclear reactor is a source of heat. This is typical in thermal power stations, heat is used to create energy from a steam engine attached to a generator that generates electricity. As of 2018, the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that there were 450 nuclea

Electric Power Grid Station in Pakistan What is a Grid Station? An electric grid or power grid, is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from producers to consumers. It consists of:  Generating stations that produce electric power Electrical substations for stepping electrical voltage up

What is MOSFET? A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET or MOS FET) is a field-effect transistor (FET with an insulated gate) where the voltage determines the conductivity of the device. It is used for switching or amplifying signals. The ability to change conductivity with the amount of applied voltage can be used for

Sign of Electrical Hazards and Precautions   What are Electrical Hazards? Electric hazards can cause burns, sparks and electrocutions. Please be vigilant when operating with or near utilities, such as power lines and electrical appliances and be mindful of the surroundings. The major hazards associated with electricity are electrical shock

Faults in Underground Cables: Types and Detection   What is the fault in underground cables? Most of the faults occur when moisture enters the insulation. The paper insulation provided inside the cable is hygroscopic in nature. Other causes include mechanical injury during transportation, laying process or due to various stresses encou

Residual Circuit Breaker (RCB)   What is Residual Circuit Breaker? RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) falls under the category of a wide range of circuit breakers. As we know there are several types of miniature circuit breakers like MCCB which work on different operational principles and have different safety purposes. Function: Resi

Changing Energy Demands During COVID -19 in Pakistan Around the globe, the steps taken to monitor the dissemination of COVID-19 have been remarkable in modern times.
