Information on incandescent lamps
The actual resistance of the
filament is temperature
dependent. The cold resistance
of tungsten-filament lamps is
about 1/15 the hot-filament
resistance when the lamp is
operating. For example, a 100-
watt, 230-volt lamp has a Tungsten
resistance of 529 ohms when Electrical resistivity – 54x10-9 Ωm
lit, but the cold resistance is Temperature coeff: – 4.8x10-3 K-1

Electrical safety – insulation and
fuses (19BCE1488, 19BCE1507)
 Insulation is used to prevent „leakage‟.
 Maximum voltage (peak values ) present must be
taken into account for determining the type of
insulation
 Fuses are the weak link in a circuit
 Used to break the circuit if excessive current
(lead to fire) is drawn.
 Fuses rely on heating effect of current. Hence
r.m.s values of current must always be used for
calculating the appropriate fuse size.

Notes – Personal and equipment safety
in home
1. Avoid water at all times when working with electricity. Never touch or
try repairing any electrical equipment or circuits with wet hands. It
increases the conductivity of electric current.
2. Never use equipment with frayed cords, damaged insulation or
broken plugs.
3. If you are working on any receptacle at your home then always turn
off the mains. It is also a good idea to put up a sign on the service
panel so that nobody turns the main switch ON by accident.
4. Always use insulated tools while working.
5. Electrical hazards include exposed energized parts and unguarded
electrical equipment which may become energized unexpectedly. Such
equipment always carries warning signs like “Shock Risk”. Always be
observant of such signs and follow the safety rules established by the
electrical code followed by the country you‟re in.
Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai
Campus, Chennai. 101
Contd…
6. Always use appropriate insulated rubber gloves and goggles while working
on any branch circuit or any other electrical circuit.
7. Never try repairing energized equipment. Always check that it is de-
energized first by using a tester. When an electric tester touches a live wire, the
bulb inside the tester lights up showing that current flows through that wire.
Check all the wires, the outer metallic covering of the service panel and any
other hanging wires with an electrical tester before proceeding with your work.
8. Never use an aluminium or steel ladder if you are working on any receptacle
at height in your home. An electrical surge will ground you and the whole
electric current will pass through your body. Use a bamboo, wooden or a
fibreglass ladder instead.
9. Know the wire colour code of your country.
10. Always check all your GFCI‟s once a month. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) is a RCD (Residual Current Device). They have become very
common in modern homes, especially damp areas like the bathroom and
kitchen, as they help avoid electrical shock hazards. It is designed to
disconnect quickly enough to avoid any injury caused by over current or short
circuit faults.

11. Always use a circuit breaker or fuse with the appropriate
current rating. Circuit breakers and fuses are protection devices
that automatically disconnect the live wire when a condition of
short circuit or over current occurs. The selection of the
appropriate fuse or circuit breaker is essential. Normally for
protection against short circuits a fuse rated of 150% of the
normal circuit current is selected. In the case of a circuit with 10
amperes of current, a 15 ampere fuse will protect against direct
short circuits whereas a 9.5 amperes fuse will blow out.
12. Working outside with underground cabling can be dangerous.
The damp soil around the cable is a good conductor of electricity
and ground faults are quite common in the case of underground
cabling. Using a spade to dig at the cable can damage the wiring
easily so it is better to dig at the cable by hand while wearing
insulated gloves.

13. Always put a cap on the hot/live wire while working on an electric board
or service panel as you could end up short circuiting the bare ends of the
live wire with the neutral. The cap insulates the copper ends of the cable
thus preventing any kind of shock even if touched mistakenly.
14. Take care while removing a capacitor from a circuit. A capacitor stores
energy and if it‟s not properly discharged when removed it can easily
cause an electric shock. An easy way to discharge low voltage capacitor is
that after removal from the circuit is to put the tip of two insulated screw
drivers on the capacitor terminals. This will discharge it. For high voltage
ones a 12 Volts light bulb can be used. Connecting the bulb with the
capacitor will light up the bulb using up the last of the stored energy.
15. Always take care while soldering your circuit boards. Wear goggles and
keep yourself away from the fumes. Keep the solder iron in its stand when
not in use; it can get extremely hot and can easily cause burns.

Wire colour code of India
Electrical wires follow standard colour coding that helps classify each wire function in the
circuit. In India wires are RGB mode i.e. Red- Green- Black. Each of these RGB wire
have different functions.
 Red – Red wire signifies the phase in electric circuit. It is he live wire which cannot be
connected to another red wire or black wire. Red is used in some types of switch leg.
Switch leg is the wire that comes off from the bottom terminal of a switch and when the
switch is turned on becomes hot. This is the leg that turns the load off and on.
 Black – Black wires signifies neutral wire in electric circuit. The neutral wires is
connected to neutral bus bar inside an electric panel. A bus bar is and conductive
metal bar that attracts the electric current for distribution purpose.) Black wire can be
connected to black wire only and no other colour wire. Black wire being neural, it does
carry charge/current. It mainly carries the unbalanced load i.e. the return current that
we call. Return current is the electricity/current not being used and the return current to
the electrical board/panel.
 Green – Green wire stands for grounding/ earthing in electric circuit. A green wire
should be on can be connected to green wire only (no other wire). Grounding wires are
usually not meant for lights and fan purposes. Green wires are chiefly used for socket
purpose. Socket could be for AC, geyser, TV, microwave, etc. Normally, switches have
only 2 wires i.e. neutral and phase.

Earthing (19BCE1434)

 One of the safety methods.


 Earthing or grounding is a circuit which
connects the metallic body of the
electrical apparatus with the Earth's
conductive surface.
 Purpose of Earthing is to avoid or
minimize the danger of electrocution, fire
due to earth leakage of current through
undesired path
Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai

Need of Earthing
 To protect human lives as well as provide
safety to electrical devices and appliances from
leakage current.
 To keep voltage as constant in the healthy
phase (If fault occurs on any one phase).
 To Protect Electric system and buildings form
lighting.
 To serve as a return conductor in electric
traction system and communication.
 To avoid the risk of fire in electrical installation
systems.

Types of Earthing

 Strip or wire earthing

 Rod earthing

 Pipe earthing

 Plate earthing

Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai

Strip or Wire Earthing
 A copper strip of minimum cross-section 25 mm × 1.6 mm is buried
horizontally inside the ground at minimum depth 0.5 m and
alternatively a galvanised iron strip of minimum of cross-section 25
mm × 4 mm can be buried horizontally at a same depth inside the
ground. For this purpose around conductor can also be used and
at that case the minimum cross-sectional area for copper
conductor would be 3 mm² and for galvanised iron conductor it
would be 6 mm². The buried portion of the electrode that is either
script or round conductor should be long enough to provide
required minimum resistance to the earth path. Generally the
length of the conductor inside the ground is maintained more than
15 m. The buried conductor should be widely distributed as
possible preferably in a single straight trench or in a circular trench
or in a number of trenches radiating from a point. This type of
earthing is mainly used in rocky area where excavation work is
quite difficult.

Rod Earthing
 A metallic rod of sufficient length is driven vertically
into the ground normally by hammering on the top.
Normally galvanised iron rod of 16mm diameter of
minimum length 2.5 m are used for this purpose. The
electrical installation which to be earthed, is connected
to the top of the earth rod or pipe by means of copper or
aluminium earth continuity conductor of sufficient
cross-section. The rod earthing system is mainly used
where soil has sandy characters and also it is often
used for temporary earthing purpose. This is cheapest
and easiest method of earthing as this method does not
require any excavation work.

Pipe Earthing
 Pipe earthing system is most commonly used and reliable system. In this
method of earthing, a galvanised steel pipe of suitable length and diameter is
buried vertically in the permanent wet soil under the ground. The length and
diameter of the pipe are determined by the conditions of soil and the current to
be carried. Normally minimum diameter and length of the pipe is maintained 40
mm and 2.5 m respectively for ordinary condition of soil and greater length is
used for rocky and dry soil conditions. The depth under ground level at which
the pipe is buried, depends upon the moisture condition of soil but it should
not be less than 3.75 m under the ground. The earthing pipe is surrounded by
alternative layers of charcoal and salt to keep moisture and thereby reduces
the earth resistance. Another galvanised iron pipe of lesser diameter (19 mm)
is fitted vertically on the top of the earthing pipe by means of reducing socket.
The top of this pipe is projected in a cement concrete work on the ground. One
or more GI plates are welded on this pipe by keeping the pipe openings clear
to facilitate the connections of earth continuity conductors from different
electrical installations. The cement concrete work is done to keep the water
arrangement accessible and in dry season to keep the earth resistance
minimum, 3 to 4 buckets of water are put in the concrete work or through the
funnel if it is fitted to the top of the 19 mm diameter pipe.

Plate Earthing
 A metallic plate of sufficient size is buried in wet soil vertically under the ground. If
copper plate is used for this purpose the minimum dimensional of the plates should
be 60 cm × 60 cm × 3 mm and if it is GI plate, then minimum dimensional should be
60 cm × 60 cm × 6 mm. In case of copper plate, a copper earth continuity conductor
is connected to the plate with the help of copper nuts bolts and washers whereas in
the case of GI plate, GI earth continuity conductor is connected to the plate with
help of GI nut bolts and washers. This earthing plate along with connected earth
continuity conductor, is buried vertically at minimum 3 m depth under the ground.
The surroundings of the plate are filled with alternative layers of charcoal and salt
of minimum 15 cm thickness of each layer. From the buried plate, the earth
continuity conductor is passed through a GI pipe of 12 mm diameter. These GI pipe
is used to protect the earth continuity conductor from direct contact of soil. Now
another GI pipe of 19 mm diameter is driven vertically to the GI plate. Top of this 19
mm diameter pipe should be projected vertically on the ground level. A concrete
chamber is made around the projected 19 mm diameter pipe and this chamber is
covered by cast iron shutter. The 19 mm diameter pipe is used to keep the water
arrangement accessible to the earthing plate. In this type of earthing, 1 to 2 buckets
of water is poured on every 3 to 4 days through a funnel at the top of the 19 mm
diameter pipe to facilitate the moisture content of the surroundings of the earthing
plate.

Notes
 What is earthing?
 Earthing means connecting any non-current carrying conductor part of an electrical system with general mass of
earth in such a manner that there is an immediate discharge of electrical energy to the earth in the event of
electrical potential developed at that part of the system. For example, metallic frame work of electrical appliances,
metallic covering of electrical cables, the earth terminal of three pin socket outlets, stay wires and also neutral point
of single phase and three phase supply systems must be properly earthed. Earthing is done to ensure that no
current carrying part of the system rises to be potential beyond its normal value, no non-current carrying conducting
part of a system rises to a potential beyond earth potential that is zero. Proper earthing also helps to avoid electrical
shock to the human beings also to avoid the chance of fire hazard due to leakage current through unwanted path.
 Why earthing is required in an electrical installation?
 Properly designed, constructed and installed electrical equipments and appliances should not have any of the non-
current carrying conducting parts which is in contact with any current carrying part. But accidentally may be due to
failure of insulation between current carrying and non-current carrying conducting parts of the equipment/appliance,
if any of the non-current carrying conducting parts comes in contact with any of the current carrying parts of the
equipment/appliance, there will be a static electrical charge developed in the non-current carrying conducting part.
Now if any human being touches that non-current carrying conducting part of the equipment or appliance, the
accumulated static charge will get a path to the earth through his body and hence it is discharged immediately, as a
result he gets an electrical shock. But if the non-current carrying conducting parts that are metallic frameworks parts
of the equipment or appliance properly earthed, then at the occurrence of touching between any current carrying
part or live part to the non-current carrying part of the equipment/appliance, the live part of the equipment/appliance
gets low impedance path to the earth through the properly earthed metallic frameworks and hence there will be a
huge current drawn from source, passing to the earth through this path. As a result the circuit breaker or MCB, or
fuses associated with this equipment/appliance will immediately break to discontinue the supply to the
equipment/appliance. Thus proper earthing of non-current carrying metallic parts of electrical equipments and
appliances provides safety of operation.

 What should be the distance of earth from a building?
 An article electrode should not be situated within a distance of 1.5 m from the building whose installation
system is being earthed.
 What should be the size of earth continuity conductor?
 The conductor by which a metallic framework of an electrical equipment/appliance is connected to the
earth is referred as earth continuity conductor. The cross-section of earth continuity conductor should
not be either less than 2.9 mm2 or half of the installation conductor size.
 What should be the earth resistance of an electrical installation?
 Earth resistance is defined as the resistance between actual earth and the earthed body of the
installation. This is nothing but the resistance of the path connecting the body of the installation to the
actual earth. This resistance should be low enough to carry sufficient current to the earth to ensure
proper operation of protective relays or blowing of fuses associated to the installation. The earth path
consists not only the earth continuity conductor but also it includes soil in between the end of the earth
continuity conductor inside the ground and actual earth. As the resistivity of soil depends upon its
moisture content, it varies time to time throughout the year. As a result earth resistance of an installation
is not constant throughout the year, it varies with weather conditions. Earth resistance of an installation
is minimum in rainy season whereas it is maximum in dry season. Although this resistance varies time
to time, but there are some standards of maximum allowable earth resistance. 1. Maximum allowable
earth resistance of a large power station is 0.5 ohm 2. Maximum allowable earth resistance of major
power station is 1.0 ohm 3. Maximum allowable earth resistance of small substations is 2.0 ohm 4.
Maximum allowable earth resistance for all other cases is 5 ohm. This should be noted that, the
resistance between any point on the earthed body and the earth pit should be less than 1 ohm.

Cable Tyre Sheathed (CTS) wiring or Tough
Rubber Sheathed (TRS) wiring or batten wiring
 In this wiring system, wires sheathed in tough rubber are used which are quite
flexible. They are clipped on wooden battens with brass clips (link or joint) and fixed
on to the walls or ceilings by flat head screws. These cables are moisture and
chemical proof. They are suitable for damp climate but not suitable for outdoor use
in sunlight. TRS wiring is suitable for lighting in low voltage installations

 Advantages:

Metal sheathed wiring or lead
sheathed wiring
 The wiring is similar to that of CTS but the conductors (two or three) are individually insulated and
covered with a common outer lead-aluminum alloy sheath. The sheath protects the cable against
dampness, atmospheric extremities and mechanical damages. The sheath is earthed at every
junction to provide a path to ground for the leakage current. They are fixed by means of metal clips
on wooden battens. The wiring system is very expensive. It is suitable for low voltage installations.

 Precautions to be taken during installation


The clips used to fix the cables on battens should not react with the sheath.
Lead sheath should be properly earthed to prevent shocks due to leakage currents.
Cables should not be run in damp places and in areas where chemicals (may react with the
lead) are used.
 Advantages:
Easy installation and is aesthetic in appearance
Highly durable
Suitable in adverse climatic conditions provided the joints are not exposed
 Disadvantages:
Requires skilled labor
Very expensive
Unsuitable for chemical industries

Casing and capping wiring
 It consists of insulated conductors laid inside rectangular, teakwood or PVC boxes
having grooves inside it. A rectangular strip of wood called capping having same
width as that of casing is fixed over it. Both the casing and the capping are screwed
together at every 15 cms. Casing is attached to the wall. Two or more wires of same
polarity are drawn through different grooves. The system is suitable for indoor and
domestic installations.

 Advantages:
Cheaper than lead sheathed and conduit wiring.
Provides good isolation as the conductors are placed apart reducing the risk
of short circuit.
Easily accessible for inspection and repairs.
Since the wires are not exposed to atmosphere, insulation is less affected by
dust, dirt and climatic variations.
 Disadvantages:
Highly inflammable.
Usage of unseasoned wood gets damaged by termites.
Skilled workmanship required.

Principle of operation
 This rotating magnetic field cuts the rotor windings and
produces an induced voltage in the rotor windings
 Due to the fact that the rotor windings are short
circuited, for both squirrel cage and wound-rotor, and
induced current flows in the rotor windings
 The rotor current produces another magnetic field
 A torque is produced as a result of the interaction of
those two magnetic fields
 ind  kBR  Bs
where ind is the induced torque and BR and BS are the
magnetic flux densities of the rotor and the stator
respectively
Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai

Induction motor speed
 At what speed will the IM run?
 Can the IM run at the synchronous speed, why?
 If rotor runs at the synchronous speed, which is the
same speed of the rotating magnetic field, then the
rotor will appear stationary to the rotating magnetic
field and the rotating magnetic field will not cut the
rotor. So, no induced current will flow in the rotor
and no rotor magnetic flux will be produced so no
torque is generated and the rotor speed will fall
below the synchronous speed
 When the speed falls, the rotating magnetic field
will cut the rotor windings and a torque is produced

Induction motor speed
 So, the IM will always run at a speed lower
than the synchronous speed
 The difference between the motor speed
and the synchronous speed is called the
Slip
nslip  nsync  nm

Where nslip= slip speed


nsync= speed of the magnetic field
nm = mechanical shaft speed of the motor

The Slip
nsync  nm
s
nsync
Where s is the slip
Notice that : if the rotor runs at synchronous speed
s=0
if the rotor is stationary
s=1
Slip may be expressed as a percentage by multiplying the above
eq. by 100, notice that the slip is a ratio and doesn’t have units

Torque
 While the input to the induction motor is electrical
power, its output is mechanical power and for that
we should know some terms and quantities related
to mechanical power
 Any mechanical load applied to the motor shaft will
introduce a Torque on the motor shaft. This torque is
related to the motor output power and the rotor
speed

Horse power
 Another unit used to measure
mechanical power is the horse power
 It is used to refer to the mechanical
output power of the motor
 Since we, as electrical engineers, deal
with watts as a unit to measure electrical
power, there is a relation between horse
power and watts
hp  746 watts
