HPL Changeover Switches Be it your office, factory or home, a well-established electrical system is one of the most important requirements for its proper functioning. There is a need to keep safety measures in mind when it comes to electricity as every household equipment and machinery require a large amount of energy. Due to voltage fluctuations, power surges can be extremely dangerous and hazardous. With the advent in technology, to curb the power fluctuations in electrical systems, new mechanisms have been invented. One such role is that of an  MCB  – a Miniature Circuit Breaker. During an unusual supply of power, miniature circuit breakers act as controlling agents. As soon as it detects an overload or a power surge, this mechanism breaks off the electrical system. Usually, it is a replacement for a fuse. Various types of  MCB s can be incorporated in your residences and industries depending upon the nature of the electrical applications. For homes and bui

It is always useful to have an excellent electrician within reach but there are some emergencies when you need to rewire a regulator or fix a broken switch without delays. In these cases, you have to do a few repairs yourself, it’s always good to have a basic knowledge of simple electrical fixes. The switchboard components are one of the simplest fixes in your home. With a good understanding even a complete beginner can get started without any difficulties. Here’s how you can install the three switchboard components regulator, the socket, and switch, without the help of an electrician! How to wire a plug socket Wiring a plug socket  is extremely simple and can be easily done by beginners. Step 1: Loosen the screws of the connectors on the back of the plug. Step 2: Strip the three cable wires (Red – Live wire, Black – Neutral wire, and Green – Earth wire).  Step 3: After stripping the wires, you will find the copper tips of the three wires. Step 4: Take the earth wire(gree

Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming every other industry and like every other industry, power sector too is going through a sea of changes, revolutionizing nearly every part of the industry from the transmission, generation to distribution, changing how consumers and electrical manufacturing  companies interact. Nowadays, the switchgear is turning inherently intelligent, powered and connected by software-enabled solutions, allowing a way to predict their maintenance. To describe it in simple words, smart and intelligent switchgear  is a power distribution solution programmed to self-monitor and manage electricity usage and reduce costs. The technology has enabled in producing such products which are pre-programmed for remote monitoring and communication enhancing protection, monitoring and control. Moreover, by utilizing efficient internal computer technology, intelligent switchgear can overcome the disadvantages of common electric switchgear to perform functions as electric
