Creating comfort in an apartment or house is a multifaceted task, one of the essential elements of which is harmonious lighting of rooms. In the world of modern interior design, many have the desire to create a house with a magnificent design. An important component of the interior design of any room is its lighting.

Having decided to transform your living space and create a new interior in the house, it is worth paying special attention to your ceiling. The original ceiling system will not go unnoticed by guests, and you will be delighted every day. The beauty, quality and grace of a ceiling is largely dependent on its design and lighting. There are many types of ceilings, for example, mounted (using drywall) or suspended. There are also combined ceilings. In this article we will talk about the last - stretch ceiling and its lighting ...

A brief overview of the functionality of the Compact INS / INV range from Schneider Electric. What are switch disconnectors for? This switching device is primarily intended for switching rated currents in manual mode. The main difference between switch-disconnectors and circuit breakers is that they do not protect the circuits from emergency operation - overload and short circuit. What are the functions of these switching devices?

In this article, we briefly characterize the switch-disconnectors on the example of electric devices of the Compact INS / INV series of the well-known manufacturer Schneider Electric. The main advantages of this type of circuit breaker are its simplicity of design, wide range of applications, compliance with international standards, as well as the possibility of expanding functionality by installing various additional devices ...

A fairly large part of the population still lives in old houses with electrical wiring, which was created for small loads. Just a couple of decades ago, our parents from household appliances worked: one lamp in each room, a refrigerator, a TV, a tape recorder, a radio, stationary and connected to sockets, several portable household appliances such as an iron, hairdryer and a small set of tools.

For these consumers, as a rule, aluminum wiring 2.5 squares was created, protected by two circuit breakers or electrical plugs with an operating current of up to six amperes. Modern household appliances have an increased consumption of electricity, and their number in our apartments has increased dramatically. Powerful vacuum cleaners, washing machines, electric stoves, heated floors, food processors, microwaves ...

Conventional electric heaters have long been known to everyone, but a completely different thing is an electric fireplace with a flame effect. The flame is cold, it is created thanks to a couple in combination with modern visualization technologies. The result is the effect of a real fire with smoke that comes from the “burning” firewood in the firebox.

Yesterday, the best models simulated fire, showing it on the screen, but will such an imitation create a real effect of the presence of fire in the fireplace? Will not create. If you look at the screen from the side, the artificiality of the fire will become apparent, and the whole idyll will be violated. The situation is different with fireplaces, where the illusion of flame is created precisely by a steam generator with the correct illumination with halogen or LED lamps.Such a fireplace will provide realistic and voluminous flames with diffusing smoke. It is about such fireplaces, about their device, that will be discussed in this article. Of course, the function of a fireplace with a flame effect is decorative ...

Since 2014, the US-Japanese company Power Japan Plus, engaged in the search and development of materials for high-performance batteries, has launched the production of a new type of battery. Scientists from Kyushu University took an active part in the development. These batteries basically have an organic electrolyte, which, however, works with a cathode and anode made from a carbon-based composite, and carbon for the batteries is made from cotton, coffee beans or bamboo.

The new batteries are called Ryden (Ryden dual carbon battery). Unlike today's lithium-ion batteries, Ryden's dual-carbon batteries are the most efficient and most environmentally friendly. Rare and heavy metals are not used here, so the batteries are not expensive and are completely recyclable. This is currently the best way ...

In synchronous jet motors, the principle of creating a rotor torque is somewhat different from asynchronous and traditional synchronous motors. Here the decisive role is assigned to the rotor core itself.

The rotor of a jet synchronous motor does not have windings, even there is no short-circuited winding on it. Instead, the rotor core is made highly heterogeneous in magnetic conductivity: the magnetic conductivity along the rotor is different from the magnetic conductivity across. Thanks to this unusual approach, there is no need for both rotor windings and permanent magnets on it. As for the stator, the stator winding of the jet synchronous motor can be concentrated or distributed, while the stator core and housing remain normal. The whole feature is in the highly heterogeneous rotor core.For jet synchronous motors are characteristic ...

Choosing a socket or switch can be a daunting task, because now in the assortment of construction stores are thousands of models that vary in color, modification, material. Here we show a photo of a large number of different models of sockets and switches in the interior of the premises.

Switches and sockets for the home are of various types and types. Most often, switches and sockets are made of special plastic, which has increased strength, does not fade in the sun and is not afraid of moisture. There are also wooden, stone, aluminum, steel, glass options. The frame and the button of the wall switch itself can be made of different materials. The frame can be matte and glossy, smooth and rough, even removable. If your apartment is presented in one single style, you can apply a set of sockets and switches that are offered by manufacturing companies ...

When assessing the status of existing electrical installations or performing repair work under voltage, electricians have to measure and compare the values ​​of currents flowing through different circuits. This allows you to analyze the operational scheme, timely eliminate the arising malfunctions. Quite often, all this must be done without breaking the electrical circuits so as not to disrupt the technological process of power supply to consumers.

Measure currents of loads without interrupting power supply using a tool specially designed for this purpose. - current ticks.The device of various models can vary significantly depending on the timing of their manufacture and the complexity of the internal circuit. But the principles of measurement and controls are almost everywhere identical.The basis of the work adopted an ordinary current transformer with a detachable magnetic circuit ...
