All About DC Motors 101

DC motors are electrical devices which draw electricity (direct current) and convert it into mechanical energy. They have many uses in today’s industries, even though alternating current is the preferred choice for mains power supply. They are especially useful for machines that need to be driven at variable speeds.

DC motors are easy to miniaturize, […]

5 Reasons Why Safety Switches Trip/Go Off

Safety switches are devices that monitor the movement of current through electrical wiring and disconnect the supply of electricity upon detecting differences or imbalances. They react to even the tiniest change within a fraction of a second, cutting off the power if there’s a leak of electricity to ground, a power board is overloaded, […]

Common Electrical Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

It is crucial to have proper electrical connections in your home, office or place of business since faults or failures in the system pose a serious risk in terms of electrocution, fire damage and short circuits.
Whether you’re working in the electrical industry or tackling a project on your own, or planning to move out […]

Reasons to Prevent Condensation in Enclosures

When cool surfaces are exposed to warm, moist air, condensation occurs. Condensation is characterized by the cooling of surfaces after coming in contact with warmer air in their surrounding environment.

Electrical enclosures are prone to condensation, as they are exposed to temperature fluctuations. The remedy for this danger is the installation of thermal insulators, especially […]

Selecting the Right Enclosure

Electric housing or electric enclosures are structures built to protect circuit boards from the elements so they can function properly. Wind, water, dust, debris, cold and humidity are all elements that could damage or interfere with proper working of the circuit board. Your choice of circuit boards is very important since it impacts the […]
