You are a guest on this page and your readership and participation are greatly appreciated. If all you want to do is express how much you dislike what we say here, then don’t expect us to oblige your comment by allowing it to be posted.
2. If you become a disturbance or nuisance, we are under absolutely no obligation to allow you to leave comments. Likewise, if you do not like what you r
ead here please be aware that you are under absolutely no obligation to remain here nor are you required to return once you leave. We will not tolerate anyone who camps on this blog merely to disagree with everything that is posted here. #1 E.I.C does not need a resident troll or hall monitor to be a “counter-balance.” If this is your intention, consider taking up residency elsewhere. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PASTING Web links, personal webpages and private information
Please avoid posting website links, personal, private information and advertisements on this blog. Those who submit commentary but neglect to adhere to this policy will have their comments edited. If activity continues then access to #1 E.I.C Facebook will be terminated.
3. #1 E.I.C desires for all involved in discussions and debates on our posts to conduct themselves in a courteous and civil manner. We understand that many people are deeply passionate about what they believe but please be careful to refrain from demeaning, harsh-toned, vitriolic, abrasive, coarse, condescending, snarky, vindictive, abusive, insulting, disrespectful, and mean-spirited comments.
4. This blog does not encourage, condone, or tolerate personal attacks of its contributors or other commenters. However, this does not exclude one from identifying a spade as a spade and a wolf as a wolf.
5. If you leave comments under the guise of being a true Electrician, but consistently espouse ideals that are antithetical to the foundational doctrines of the electrical standards, then expect that your charade will quickly be uncovered and you will be prohibited from leaving comments. We will not provide you with a platform to spread "YOUR” seeds of doubt and soul-damning heresies.
6. We will not tolerate your intolerance of our intolerance. We have truly grown weary of those criticizing and judging us for criticizing and judging others.
7. If your comment contains any of the following remarks . . .“Judge not!” “I Know Better, Self-righteous", then there’s a good chance your comment will not see the light of day. Although we are not averse to disagreement and debate, we do not have the time to deal with such baseless, electrically illiterate, blatant twisting of Codes and Standards, and shallow platitudes. It’s equivalent to calling the proponent of legal immigration a “racist” without ever intellectually discussing the matter. It slyly changes the focus of the debate from the issue itself and places it onto your opponent’s character. This sinister clever polarization of your opponent puts him on the defense and then you think you've won the debate. We seriously do not have the time to play these games. Your argument should be the persuasive element to the debate, not your Orwellian-style doublespeak.
8). We are here to defend the Electrical Standards and proclaim them. If you leave a comment with links to heretical, apostate websites, do not be surprised when the links are altered or removed. We also reserve the right to add links to your comments in order to direct readers to the truth, not further errors. If someone leaving comments on #1 E.I.C Facebook and cannot restrain themselves from violating the above conditions, do not be surprised if your entire comment is deleted without notice (we are not responsible to just edit your comment or remove the unacceptable content). We reserve the right to hold, moderate, and delete any comments that we deem unacceptable. Accusations of being Judgmental
One of the most common accusations against #1 E.I.C is “judging” or being too “judgmental”. This stems from an improper understanding and thus an improper application of Electrical perspective. Most people use broken laws (like broken English) as the basis of their objections without considering full counsel in Electrical Laws. There is a certain danger when we adopt the world’s reasoning and IL-logic for electrical standards and codes. In such a blinded condition it perceives any mention of its mistakes as “judgment” and will attempt to silence any voice which does not affirm its mistakes. Such an attitude should not be acceptable or practiced in this field. Unfortunately, unlicensed electricians are using the way and thinking of the world without fully considering the Electrical Laws first and foremost. This study is for those who seriously want to understand and apply Electrical Laws and Standards. The following LAWS are to help you understand that judging others and ourselves is a electrically imperative and a part of our duty as electricians to help keep the Electrical Laws. They also give us the proper framework, motivation and purpose of judging. When we fail to follow the LAWS, the lack of correcting others breeds pride, arrogance and immorality among the new electricians. We encourage you not to just take our word for it, but look up the Electrical Laws listed and study them to show yourself approved, ELECTRICIANS that needeth not to be ashamed. Alternating current (a.c.)-: Current which varies in direction and magnitude. Ampere (A)-: The unit of electric current.(I)
Candela (cd)-: The unit of luminous intensity. (I)
Coulomb (C)-: The unit of electric quantity.(Q)
Cycle One complete set of changes on an a.c. waveform. Eddy current-: The current induced into a magenetic core by mutual inductance. Electromotive force (e.m.f.)-: The voltage measured across a source of supply when no current is flowing (open-circuit voltage). Frequency (f)-: The number of cycles complected in a second. for example, 50 cycles per second. Unit : Hertz(Hz). Henry (H)-: The unit of self, or mutual, inductance. Hysteresis-: The lag which takes place in a magnetic circuit between a changing magnetizing force (H) and the flux density (B) which it produces. This lag between the magnetizing force and resultant flux density causes an energy loss termed a 'hys-teresis loss'. Impedance (Z)-: The total opposition to a flow of alternating current in a circuit. Unit : ohm. Joule (J)-: A unit of electrical energy. Kilowatt-hour (kWh)-: The practical unit of electrical energy. Lumen-: This is the unit of luminous flux which is the measure of light emitted from a source.(F.) Ohms Law-: States that the current (I) flowing in a circuit is directly proportional to voltage (V) and inversely proportional to resistance (R) , at a constant temperature. Ohm's Law( )-: The Unit of resistance. Potential difference (p.d.)-: The voltage measured across a circuit, or a part of a circuit, when a current is flowing (the closed-circuit voltage). Power factor (p.f.) Is expressed as the cosine of an angle ( ) of phase difference between voltage and current in an a.c. circuit. It may also be stated as the ratio between true power (kW) and apparent power (kVA). Resistivity-: The resistance of a unit cube of a material, measured across opposite faces of the cube. (rho)
Root mean square (r.m.s) value-: That value of alternating voltage, or current, which gives the same heating, or lighting, effect as a similar value of direct voltage, or current. Supply voltages (a.c.) are always given in r.m.s values. Temperature coefficient-: The temperature coefficient of a material is the increase in resistance of a 1 ohm resistor of that material when it is subjected to a rise in temperature of 1 degC. (a(alpha).) Volt (V)-: The unit of electric pressure. (V or E)
Watt (W)-: The unit of electric power. (1000 W = 1 kW.) Kirchhoff's current law-: The sum of all currents entering a node is equal to the sum of all currents leaving the node. Kirchhoff's voltage law-: The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around a loop must be zero. Ohm's law-: The voltage across a resistor is equal to the product of the resistance and the current flowing through it. Norton's theorem-: Any network of voltage or current sources and resistors is electrically equivalent to an ideal current source in parallel with a single resistor. Thévenin's theorem-: Any network of voltage or current sources and resistors is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source in series with a single resistor. Superposition theorem-: In a linear network with several independent sources, the response in a particular branch when all the sources are acting simultaneously is equal to the linear sum of individual responses calculated by talking one independent source at a time. An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical elements such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, voltage sources, current sources and switches. An electrical circuit is a network consisting of a closed loop, giving a return path for the current. Linear electrical networks, a special type consisting only of sources (voltage or current), linear lumped elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors), and linear distributed elements (transmission lines), have the property that signals are linearly superimposable. They are thus more easily analyzed, using powerful frequency domain methods such as Laplace transforms, to determine DC response, AC response, and transient response. A resistive circuit is a circuit containing only resistors and ideal current and voltage sources. Analysis of resistive circuits is less complicated than analysis of circuits containing capacitors and inductors. If the sources are constant (DC) sources, the result is a DC circuit. A network that contains active electronic components is known as an electronic circuit. Such networks are generally nonlinear and require more complex design and analysis tools.
