HISTORY
1750
•Benjamin Franklin is
known for his
discovery of
electricity
1750-1850
•Volta, Coulomb,
Gauss, Henry,
Faraday, and others
found principle
electricity
1879
•Thomas Edison
invented a more
efficient lightbulb
1896
•George
Westinghouse
developed a device
called the
“transformer.”
1900s
• alternating current
power systems began
appearing
throughout the
United States.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
BASIC CONCEPTS
• VOLTAGE
• Voltage is the potential energy source in an electrical circuit that makes
things happen. It is sometimes called Electromotive Force or EMF.
• The basic unit (measurement) of electromotive force (EMF) is the volt.
• The volt was named in honor of Allessandro Giuseppe Antonio
Anastasio Volta (1745–1827), the Italian physicist who also invented the
battery.
• Electrical voltage is identified by the symbol “e” or “E.” (Some
references use symbols “v” or “V.”
• Electric power systems are based on alternating voltage applications
from low-voltage 120 volt residential systems to ultra high voltage
765,000 volt transmission systems.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• CURRENT
• Current is the flow of electrons in a conductor (wire).
• Electrons are pushed and pulled by voltage through an electrical circuit
or closed-loop path.
• The electrons flowing in a conductor always return to their voltage
source.
• Current is measured in amperes, usually called amps. (One amp is
equal to 628 × 1016 electrons flowing in the conductor per second.)
• The number of electrons never decreases in a loop or circuit.
• The flow of electrons in a conductor produces heat due to the
conductor’s resistance (i.e., friction)
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Electrical current is identified by the symbol “i” or “I.”
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Hole Flow Versus Electron Flow
• Electron flow occurs when the electron leaves the atom and moves
toward the positive side of the voltage source, leaving a hole behind.
• The holes left behind can be thought of as a current moving toward the
negative side of the voltage source.
• Therefore, as electrons flow in a circuit in one direction, holes are
created in the same circuit that flow in the opposite direction.
• Current is defined as either electron flow or hole flow. The standard
convention used in electric circuits is hole flow!
• One reason for this is that the concept of positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals on a battery or voltage source was established long before the
electron was discovered.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Hole Flow Versus Electron Flow
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Power
• The basic unit (measurement) of power is the watt (W), named after
James Watt (1736–1819), who also invented the steam engine.
• Voltage by itself does not do any real work.
• Current by itself does not do any real work.
• However, voltage and current together can produce real work.
• The product of voltage times current is power.
• Power is used to produce real work
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Energy
• Electrical energy is the product of electrical power and time.
• The amount of time a load is on (i.e., current is flowing) times the
amount of power used by the load (i.e., watts) is energy.
• The measurement for electrical energy is watt-hours (Wh).
• The more common units of energy in electric power systems are
kilowatt-hours (kWh, meaning 1,000 watt-hours) for residential
applications and megawatt-hours (MWh, meaning 1,000,000 watt-
hours).
BASIC CONCEPTS
• DC Voltage and Current
• Direct current (dc) is the flow of electrons in a circuit that is always in the
same direction.
• Direct current (i.e., one-direction current) occurs when the voltage is
kept constant, as shown in Figure 1-4.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• AC Voltage and Current
• When the terminals of the potential energy source (i.e., voltage)
alternate between positive and negative, the current flowing in the
electrical circuit likewise alternates between positive and negative.
• Thus, alternating current (ac) occurs when the voltage source
alternates.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• ac Voltage and Current
• When the terminals of the potential energy source (i.e., voltage)
alternate between positive and negative, the current flowing in the
electrical circuit likewise alternates between positive and negative.
• Thus, alternating current (ac) occurs when the voltage source
alternates.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Frequency
• Frequency is the term used to describe the number of cycles in a
second.
• The number of cycles per second is also called hertz, named after
Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894), a German physicist.
• For electric power systems in the United States, the standard frequency
is 60 cycles/second or 60 hertz.
• The European countries have adopted 50 hertz as the standard
frequency.
• Countries outside the United States and Europe use 50 and/or 60 hertz.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Comparing ac and dc Voltage and Current
• dc voltage sources continuously supply heat in the load, whereas ac
voltage sources cause heat to increase and decrease during the
positive part of the cycle, then increase and decrease again in the
negative part of the cycle.
• In ac circuits, there are actually moments of time when the voltage and
current are zero and no additional heating occurs.
• It is important to note that there is an equivalent ac voltage and current
that will produce the same heating effect in an electrical load as if it
were a dc voltage and current.
• The equivalent voltages and currents are referred to as the root mean
squared values, or rms values.
BASIC CONCEPTS
• Comparing ac and dc Voltage and Current
• For example, the 120 Vac wall outlet is actually the rms value.
• Theoretically, one could plug a 120 Vac toaster into a 120 Vdc battery
source and cook the toast in the same amount of time.
• The ac rms value has the same heating capability as a dc value.
