Power Factor
Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used in a system. It is a ratio, expressed as a number between 0 and 1 (or as… Read More »Power Factor

Electrical units of measurement
Induction
Induction is the process of generating an electric current or magnetic field without direct contact, usually through the influence of a changing magnetic field. This concept is fundamental in electromagnetism… Read More »Induction
Impedance
Electrical impedance is the total opposition that an electrical circuit offers to the flow of alternating current (AC). It combines two factors: resistance and reactance, which together determine how easily… Read More »Impedance
Ohms Law
Ohm’s Law is a fundamental principle in electricity that explains the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. It states that the current flowing through a circuit… Read More »Ohms Law
Volts
Volts are a unit used to measure voltage, which is the “pressure” that pushes electricity through a circuit. To understand volts, think of it like water in a pipe. Imagine… Read More »Volts
Ohms (symbol: Ω)
Ohms (symbol: Ω) is the unit used to measure electrical resistance, which is the opposition that a material or component offers to the flow of electric current. The concept of… Read More »Ohms (symbol: Ω)
Ampere (amp)
The ampere (amp) is a unit that measures the flow of electricity, similar to how water flow through a pipe is measured. In this analogy, the electric current (amps) is… Read More »Ampere (amp)
Alternating Current (AC)
Alternating Current (AC) is a type of electrical current in which the flow of electrons periodically reverses direction. Unlike Direct Current (DC), where electrons flow continuously in one direction, AC’s… Read More »Alternating Current (AC)
Kilowatt-hour (kWh)
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure electricity consumption in Australia. It represents the amount of energy used by a device with a power rating… Read More »Kilowatt-hour (kWh)
DC Load
A DC load refers to electrical devices or systems that operate on direct current (DC) rather than alternating current (AC). In Australia, DC loads are commonly found in applications such… Read More »DC Load
