What electrical safety devices are used in power stations?
I'm writing a paper about electrical safety. For one of the tasks I need to name and describe an electrical safety device other than a fuse, a residual current device and an isolated power system since I've already written about those. The question hints that the final device should be one that is used outside of the home - for example, in a power station. Thanks! Thanks for the answers. I'm really looking for the name of a specific device though. I read about an arc-fault circuit interrupter which I considered writing about but I think these are more commonly used in the home, not so much in power plants or industry.

Question answered by DAVID O
I worked in UK power stations for many years and can only give you UK answers. In a power station there are many different electrical systems working at different voltages. There are 110v DC, 220v DC and 415v AC systems all driving different motors. There are also motors fed at 3.3kv. These are normally supplied as follows. The electricity normally is switched on to the switchgear via a hand operated isolator (switch) and then passes via an electrically operated contactor to supply the motor. If a fault should occur – overheating, excessive current, imbalance between phases in a three phase system – protection relays will sense the fault and send a signal to trip the contactor (open it) and this cuts the electrical supply to the motor. In the case of motors operating at higher voltages such as 11kv, larger contactors need be used and similar protection relays are used. Because of these higher voltages and currents, a large spark/flash will occur when the contactor opens. To extinguish this flash a blast of air is programmed into the contactor opening sequence. Because of this, this type of contactor is known as an Air Blast Circuit Breaker. Hope this helps.Can an electrical engineer work in a car company or dealership?
I want to major in electrical engineering technology and my friend wants be to work in a car dealership with him,but I'm afraid that car companies or dealerships only need mechanical engineers. Can an electrical engineer work in a car company or dealership? I was planning to get a job in sony while I'm in college, but I love cars.

Automotive manufacturing companies (eg, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, etc) have all employed electrical engineers. There are opportunities in vehicle design, manufacturing and facilities engineering. As a practical matter, the number of jobs in facility engineering is declining as automobile companies are trying to focus more on their core interests (cars) and outsourcing non-core work (facilities) to contractors. But the good news is that cars are becoming far more complicated - in the last 20 years, most of the major technological advances have resulted for the application of digital technology to vehicle design. For example, fuel efficiency is tied very closely to the ratio of weight and speed, and the only practical of improving efficiency is enhanced engine control, which really means microprocessor technology, or electrical engineering. Other applications include things like vehicle stability systems, anti-lock braking systems, etc. And then there is the matter of electric and/or hybrid vehicles. That's heavy-duty electrical engineering. In the field of manufacturing, the car companies are trying very hard to reduce production costs, which means that they are applying more and more manufacturing automation and robots - all of which means electrical engineering. Now - that's the manufacturing side. Local dealerships are another matter. Of course, all that electronic technology in vehicles means that dealerships will need people to service that equipment. Unfortunately, having a four-year degree may overqualify you for one of those jobs.What does an electrical engineer do on an average day?
I am intreasted in Electrical Engineering, could somone (preferably an electrical engineer) explain to me in detail what they do on an average day. Thanks alot!

Question answered by Steve W
Regular day in the life of a typical electrical engineer: 1. Wake up. 2. Drink coffee. 3. Go to the office. Sit in a cubicle. 4. Drink coffee. Maybe eat a donut. 5. Scribble some formulas on paper and run some calculations on the computer. 6. Get dragged into meetings with non-engineers...ugh! 7. Drink more coffee. 8. Go home. If I ever have one of those 'regular' days, I'll probably die or retire. There are so many things going on that may involve: Travel System design calculations Training others or being trained Learning how stuff works Figuring out how your competitor does something, then figuring out a way to do it better Travel Meetings...all kinds of meetings. some are even interesting. Teaching people how something or other works You may spend time in the field, or in the lab, or maybe your office is a cable spool turned on its side in a petrochemical plant... You may perfect the art of bouncing a rubber band off the ceiling to land in your colleague's cubicle. Or not... Basically, there is no 'average day'. Some are more exciting than others, and some may have a routine, but they can all be interesting...if you want them to be.What field of electrical engineering most relates to chemistry? and how does it relate to chemistry?
What field of electrical engineering most relates to chemistry? and how does it relate to chemistry? THANKS!
Joe E
Question answered by mariskalen kampf Strudl v.Wurst!
Actually, most of them. 1) In the power and process industries, electrical engineers work closely with chemical engineers. 2) All types of batteries. 3) Electronic components are all made from chemical compunds. 4) Corrosion is electrochemical in nature. 5) Process control Which most? I would say (1). Steam power plants require constant steam quality monitoring and chemicals to meet quality standards. But (5) is perhaps, where chemical and electrical engineers work the closest. A control loop is a blend of electrical, mechanical and process chemical steps. .What is a electrical and computer engineering degree?
I want to become a electrical engineer but when i look at some colleges it says electrical and computer engineering. I am mostly interested in things that have to do with just electrical engineering. Will this degree be mostly about electrical engineering or computer engineering?

Both are different branches don't get confused between those two.computer engg deals with concepts of programming and electrical engg deals with the concepts of current and current laws.How much do electrical and electronic engineers earn after graduation in UK ?
How much do Electrical and electronic engineers engineers earn? Quite an irrelevant question coming from a medic, you might say, but I am interested in how much you guys earn. Would an engineer earn more or less than a Dr or a lawyer? What are the hours like - the two above are quite intensive - is engineering the same? What sort of sectors are the most popular - railways or road etc. ? I am talking about graduates here, not so-called engineers who are really repair men. Thanks.

Question answered by whycantigetagoodnickname
Graduate engineer about £18 to £20k, an hourly rate a bit higher than lawyer or doctor, however after a few years practice a doctor should be earning lots more than most engineers. Lawyers depend on the type of law they practice. Hours for engineer are typically 9-5 unless they are working on site, when it is typically 10-12 hour days. Junior doctors used to work 95 hour weeks but I believe that has been cut to about 45 now. Electrical engineers work in all industries and I can't say where most areHow does an ordinary electrical tester work?
For an electrical circuit to work, it should complete and closed. But in case of an ordinary tester, only one end is connected with the phase terminal and the other end is connected to the operator. So to my simple view, the circuit is not complete. So how does it work getting me the information about the electrical current being active....

Question answered by Mez
Your question is not clear. Yes, for a electrical circuit to work, the circuit must be closed. I am not sure what you mean by "an ordinary tester". Not sure what you mean by "operator". Perhaps you are talking about the type of tester which is used to detect a "live" or "active" circuit, where a person holding the tester (often a screwdriver with a neon bulb inside) touches the end of the screwdriver to the wire and if it is live, the neon bulb will glow. The way this works is that the operator provides a very weak connection to ground, thereby completing the circuit, however the resistance of the neon bulb is sufficiently high that the current flowing is very low and harmless to the person doing the test.What is the best electrical conductor and what allows it to go through?

I bought an electrical dryer with parents neighbors that are moving out, they said that it works fine, its actually quite new. However, I think the old dryer that I had was gas, so will it still be able to work?

Question answered by more slack
It depends on the electrical installation. A gas dryer might only use a low-amperage 115V plug, vs. the 230V plug used by an electric dryer. So you'd have to upgrade the circuit to use the electric... which means a call to an electrician and some serious cash. The gas dryer would be cheaper to operate, it's a shame the new one isn't gas also. Maybe flip it over on craigslist and get a gas one instead?Is the course work of electrical engineering and computer engineering almost same?
Is the course work of electrical engineering and computer engineering almost same? I mean like the classes one should take in electrical engineering and computer engineering are same? And what is the difference between computer science and computer engineering? Is it just like computer science is software and computer engineering is hardware or something else?

Question answered by doubt
for your first question , the answer is NO . the course work is the same for all branches of engineering for the 1st semester . during second sem , there would be a couple of common subjects . after 3rd sem , there would be almost no common subjects (except electives . and , some subjects like Digital Signal Processing . ) . electrical engg has subjects related to electricity , electronics , control systems ,etc . computer egg has subjects mainly related to hardware and software . you can see that there is no similarity . As for computer science and computer engg, the former is a science course and the latter is an engineering course . Both have hardware and software , but the approach varies . engineering courses can fetch you a job rather easily . science courses are mainly for those interested in research .Related products and services
