Agenda • Voltage • Current • Resistance • Power, Volt Amps • Symbology • Single Phase • Three Phase
1.Power Source 2. Conductors 3. Load Simplified Circuit Circuits • Electric Circuits Consist of Three Parts : • 1. Power Source – Battery, Solar Cell, • 2. Conductors - Connecting Wires • 3. Load - Device such as, Motors, Lights, Heating etc.
Squirrel Power STATIC “VOLTAGE TYPES” CHEMICAL SOLAR
Voltage • Voltage (EMF Electromotive Force) • Volts (E or V) = Measurement of electrical force or pressure. • Similar to pressure. • Expressed as Electromotive Force (E) or (emf) in Ohm’s Law. • Common Units: • Microvolt (uV) = 1/1,000,000 Volt • Millivolt (mV) = 1/1000 Volt • Volt = 1 • Kilovolt (kV) = 1000 Volts
“Difference of Potential” • Difference of Potential = • Is the force that causes free electrons to move through a conductor as an electric current is referred to as difference of potential or often shortened to “potential”. • Similar to liquid flow there must be a difference in pressure or “differential pressure” or there will be no flow.

Power Source Load Difference of Potential Switch Tank A Tank B “Difference of Potential” • When a difference in potential exists between two charged bodies that are connected by a conductor, electrons will flow until the two charges are equalized.
“CURRENT” • Electric Current = • The flow of electrons through conductive materials when electricity is being converted to useful work. • Two Electric Current Types • Direct Current (DC) • Alternating Current (AC)
“CURRENT” • Measurement of Amperage (Current Flow) • Amperes or “Amps” (A) = The measurement of current flow through a conductor (wire). • Number of (electrons) that pass through a given point, in a second. • Expressed as Intensity (I) in Ohm’s Law • Common Units: • = 1 Amp • Milliamp (mA) = 1/1000 Amp .001A 1 ma • Microamp (uA) = 1/1,000,000 Amp .000001A 1µa
“RESISTANCE” • Resistance (Opposition to Current Flow) • Ohm (W) = Measurement of resistance in an electrical circuit. • Similar to restriction of liquid or gas flow. • Expressed as Resistance (R) in Ohm’s Law. • Common Units: • Ohms (W) = 1 Ohm • Kilohms (k W) = 1000 Ohms • Megohms (meg W) = 1,000,000 Ohms • Every load on an electrical circuit creates resistance. • Resistance to the current load creates heat.
*Circular Mils = the standard unit of measurement of a round wire cross-sectional area The area in circular mils of a round conductor is obtained by squaring the diameter, measured in mils. The OHM
“IMPEDANCE, DC ” Z • IMPEDANCE – Algebraic sum of all the Resistance in the circuit. • For DC = Z is the same as the total resistance of the circuit ( Rt )

Power In Back to the Future, Doc Emit Brown declares that it takes 1.21 gigawatts to travel through time. The gigawatt is a unit of power, not energy. Now, a gigawatthour is a unit of energy.
“POWER” “WATT” • Electrical Power (Horsepower) • Watt (W) = 1 Watt = 1 Volt times 1 Amp of current • Expressed as (P) in power calculation formulas. • 746 Watts = 1 Horsepower. • 1 HP = ¾ KiloWatt Common Units: 1 Microwatt = 1/1,000,000 Watt 1 Milliwatt = 1/1000 Watt 1 Kilowatt = 1000 Watts 1 Megawatt = 1,000,000 Watts 1 GigaWatt = 1 Billion Million Watts Kilowatt Hour = Kilowatts used in 1 hour
Review Discussion • Voltage is a measurement of: • electrical force (similar to pressure) • Amperage is a measurement of • current flow (similar to flow) • Ohm is a measurement of • resistance to current flow (similar to restriction) • Wattage is a measurement of • power used to perform work (horsepower)~ • Voltage Drop is the result of • the corresponding result of opposition to current flow.

Electrical Theory Basic Formulas - Ohm’s Law • Law 1 -If the voltage remains constant the current is inversely proportional to the resistance • Law 2 - If the current remains constant the emf voltage across a device varies directly with the resistance • Law 3 - If the resistance remains constant the current varies directly with the applied voltage I R V = EMF in Volts I = Intensity in Amps R = Resistance in Ohms V
