Q:Context:Unrated electrical equipment in the dust handling equipment and area could act as an ignition source, which would result in a fire or an explosion for the dust handling equipment or rooms.

Yes

Q:Can electrical equipments draw currents or they allow too flow current through them?

Current Draw is just a term for the amount of surrent flowing through an appliance. Current does not flow by itself. Current flow is the result of an electrical pressure, voltage. Just as water does not flow through a pipe unless a source of pressure is applied. Then the flow of water (current) will be proportionate to the pressure(voltage) for a given csa pipe (resistance).

Q:exactly 5 min later:a- Would it damage the power grid?b-Would sudden surge after 5 min create even a bigger loss in energy than what was saved in that 5 min period??I am not an electrical engineer? I keep hearing that sometimes turning off an energy source for short term does not really save any energy? Is that true?Thanks alot.Could you help me with these 2 points?

Yes, in this extreme case, it may damage (BOE calculation: 2 million x ~500 watts: ~1 billion watt) if they are on single grid. In many of equipment (motorized) start-up losses are significant. So, you may end-up with little saving and a big grid failure. But if you leave aside such extreme situations, it is always good to turn off electrical equipments even for a short gap. And just to add, beware of leaking currents (e.g. not disconnecting appliances from the power plug) which are bigger concern.

Q:examples of electrical equipment in which insulators and conductors are used.and give reasons for their usethxthe one that answers will get 10 points

insulators are used on wires and places you don't want electricity to flow conductors are used in circuit boards and almost every electrical component. conductors are used to carry the flow of electricity.

Q:I am a freshman of the engineering program at the university of Wyoming. Right now I am going into electrical because I wanted to stay in Wyoming and I thought that it would be easier to get a job in the production and distribution of electricity through something like Rocky Mountain Power. I don't mind doing the math and physics for electrical, but I am thinking that I would enjoy becoming a mechanical engineer. At the moment I believe mechanical is much more hands on, designing parts and testing them. I don't know what these two would lead into though. Electrical makes more money, but is that worth it? Also how hard would it be to get a job in this region with mechanical?

Electrical engineering. I don't know a lot about Wyoming but I know a lot about electrical engineering . EE is one of the largest branch of engineering majors and you can change your field of job whenever you want.

Q:Are the different parts of an electrical distribution system connected in series or in parallel? Give the evidence. Give two reasons.

All equipment should get supply voltage same.So we have to connect all in parallel But to complete the circuit, we need Phase and neutral Bulbs, fans, washing machines, fridges are connected in parallel

Q:i have some powerful amps and other electrical equipment in my car and am wondering if all of that is pulling so much that it is affecting performance

Absolutely.

Q:I want to know if it would be feasible to make exercise equipment (like a bike, treatmill, stair stepper, etc.) that would produce a small amount of electricity when used. Could this type of equipment be modified to produce enough electrical energy to make a noticeable difference in a monthly power bill? If it was feasible, think about the benefits! Not only would we have a new (albeit small) source of energy, but we might be motivated to get off our butts and exercise more. Okay, its a wacky thought, but I just wondered. What do you think?

y dont you do it? ride a bike to power your tv or your computer you can turn a 110 jenny with about 1/4 horspower in other wards your legs

Q:i am attending college in the fall, actually school starts on the 21st, and my major will be in electrical engineering, i was just fishing around and wondered if anyone could give me, in a nutshell, the basics of this field. since i have already chosen this as my major I do know a little, enough to choose it as my major. i just wanted to know what I might not already know. Give the names of specific jobs that would be of interest after graduation also, if you know any. Thanks!

Sky is the limit! Beside all the obvious electrical engineering jobs such as circuit designer (both digital or analog), system engineer, semiconductor process or equipment engineer, power engineer, communication engineer, product engineer, device engineer, QC engineer, field service engineer, etc. You can be an astronaut, mission control engineer (for NASA), technical marketing or sales engineer (with MBA), apply for medical school, and God forbids be a professor in engineering (with PhD), Simply too many to list.

Q:I received a piece of electrical equipment from China which has a power lead with it. It originally had a 2-pin plug which I have stripped to rewire into a 3-pin UK plug but the wires are blue, black and brown! I am confused now as I thought either blue/black could be neutral or black/brown could be live. Didn't expect blue, black and brown in same wire.

Connect to Live (brown wire) and Neutral (blue wire). Leave the Earth pin in place but unconnected. Make sure that the plug has a 5 Amp fuse in it (these usually have a blue coloured body, 13A fuses are brown). If the wires are not blue and brown then you must make sure that the voltage is correct. UK mains is nominally 230 Volts, the same as the rest of Europe. Blue and brown are the standard European colours for mains wiring. If the razor is non-European then it may be designed for 110 Volts and will be destroyed when you plug it in. If this razor is an old British one it may have red and black wires. These colours have not been used for appliances since about 1968 and so the device will be very old and may be unsafe.
