Electricity plays a major role in our day to day life, as we all need electricity to run our electrical appliances and to lighten our lives. Many new technology working on electricity have been developed to advance and make our lives more luxurious, before understanding all those technology, it becomes important to clear our basics of electrical engineering. And what can be better topic to start than our house wiring, first we need to learn how metering and distribution box is being connected in our home. So firstly for our house wiring we need to approve for an electricity meter from the discom (distributing company) or we can say from our electricity board, the sanction meter capacity will be according to the load of the house. then for connection meter is being connected to the utility connections with phase and neutral connected to phase neutral connections given in meter, output from the meter will be connected to the Double pole (DP) MCB in the distribution box (DB) and further

Let’s go 30 years ahead in time. Imagine you are playing with your grandson, a 3-year-old "Kaviyansh". You are having a great time because you love playing with him, he is the soul of your entire family. Suddenly, he hits himself by a table, lying in middle of the courtyard which was placed there by your spouse. His baby soft head starts bleeding, and he cries out loud in pain. His creamy cheeks turn red. You rush and provide him with vital first aid. You blame and scold your better half for improperly placing the table which caused the entire incident. However, it was a minor wound and gets healed in a week. Now imagine a different scenario. After few months when Kaviyansh was getting ready for his play school, he suddenly starts coughing out blood. Your entire family gets stunned with this and rushes to hospital. After all the prescribed test and checkups, doctor tells the family with a heavy heart that the baby is suffering with lung cancer, and there i

Still Wondering! Why is there is a need of installing solar power plant? Why every big, small businesses all around the world running after solar power? Why teams of scientist keeps on researching to make solar more efficient? Why government of INDIA is working on National solar mission of 100 GW electricity generation through solar by the year 2022? so let's understand some of the reasons for all these WHY hovering our mind..   1) Solar is a Secure Investment The utility companies are notorious for their fluctuating and unreliable electricity prices. There is clearly an upward trend. With solar panels and simple math, we can calculate how much electricity will be generated, and most importantly, at what price, for at least the next 25 years (fixed energy costs). 2) Solar power offers long term savings: After the initial investment, it costs practically nothing to harness the power of the sun, but coal , oil continues to get more expensive

Engineering

Is it just a Word? You would be expecting me to write a good definition similar to which you have read in Books, Google, Wikipedia. But SORRY it is not that serious but something much serious. You would find most of the people in mainly in India saying words like " Engineering to bekar hi mai kar di" or " Engineers ki to koi ijjat hi ni " or many more saying which will make people feel that why they have chosen Engineering in there graduation or people don't want there kids to pursue engineering. And truly speaking it hurts me very much when people make fun of engineers, or jokes being cracked on engineers that too by engineers themselves. Friends as an electrical engineer I know the situations of India which is very painful that our youth is not getting employment, and there is lack of growing technology, production and hence jobs in India. So I want you to think for a second, that what is the main cause for this unemployment, I
