Lighting
Light
 Light is a form of radiant energy radiated from a various form of incandescent
bodies. It is expressed in lumen-hours.
 The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) defines light as
“radiant energy that is capable of exciting the retina and producing a visual
sensation.”
 Incandescence is the emission of light from "hot" matter (T 800 K).

Lighting
Light
 Light can be of different colours, which depend on the wave length of the radiation
causing it.

 The eye has greatest sensitivity for wavelengths of about 550 nm
Lighting
Luminous flux
 It is defined as the total quantity of light energy emitted per second from a
luminous body.
 It is represented by symbol F and is measured in lumens.
 The concept of luminous flux helps us to specify the output and efficiency of a
given light source.
Lighting
Luminous Intensity
 Luminous intensity in any particular direction is the luminous flux emitted by the
source per unit solid angle in that direction.
 It is denoted by I and its unit is candela or candle power (CP).
 Luminous intensity of source in a particular direction,
I = φ or F / ω
Lighting
Lumen
 The lumen is the unit of luminous flux and is defined as the luminous flux emitted
per second in one unit of solid angle by a source having an intensity of one candle
power in all direction.
 Lumens = candle power × solid angle = cp × 𝜔
Candle power
 The light radiating capacity of a source is called its candle power.
 The number of lumens given out by a source per unit solid angle in a given
direction is called its candle power.
 It is denoted by CP
Lighting
Illumination
 When light falls on a surface, it becomes visible, the phenomenon is called as
illumination.
 It is defined as luminous flux falling on a surface per unit area.
 It is denoted by E and measured in lumen per square meter or meter- candle.
 E = Ф / A lux

mounting heights.
Lighting
Shadows
 Shadow is a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light
and a surface.
 The formation of long and hard shadows must be avoided. The hard and long
shadows often cause accidents. Such long shadows can be avoided by :
Using proper mounting heights of lamp.
Using more number of lamps and providing indirect lighting
Employing wide surface source of light
Lighting
Color Rendering
 Color rendering describes how well the light renders colors in objects.

 A large part of reducing energy use is proper lighting maintenance.
Cleaning dust off fixtures, lamps, and lenses every 6 to 24 months.
Replace lenses if they appear yellow.
Clean or repaint small rooms every year and larger rooms every 2-3 years
because the dirt collected on these surfaces could reduce the amount of light
they reflect.
Consider group light replacement.

DRILL PROBLEMS
A room with an area of 6 × 9 m is illustrated by ten 80-W lamps. The luminous
efficiency of the lamp is 80 lumens/W and the coefficient of utilization is 0.65.
Find the average illumination.
Solution:
DRILL PROBLEMS
The flux emitted by 100-W lamp is 1,400 lumens placed in a frosted globe of 40 cm
diameter and gives uniform brightness of 250 milli-lumens/m2
in all directions.
Calculate the candle power of the globe and the percentage of light absorbed by the
globe.
Solution:
Flux emitted by the globe = brightness × globe area
= 1,256.63 lumens
Flux absorbed by the globe = flux emitted by source – flux emitted by globe
= 1,400 – 1,256.63 = 143.36 lumens.
Lighting
LAWS OF ILLUMINATION
Mainly there are two laws of illumination.
 Inverse square law.
 Lambert's cosine law.
Inverse square law
This law states that ‘the illumination of a surface is inversely proportional
to the square of distance between the surface and a point source’.
Lighting
Inverse square law
Proof
Let, ‘S’ be a point source of luminous intensity
‘I’ candela, the luminous flux emitting from
source crossing the three parallel plates
having areas A1 A2, and A3 square meters,
which are separated by a distances of d, 2d,
and 3d from the point source respectively as
shown in Fig.
Luminous flux reaching the area A1
= luminous intensity × solid angle
Lighting
Inverse square law
∴ Illumination 'E1' on the surface area 'A1' is:
Similarly, illumination 'E2' on the surface
area A2 is:
and illumination ‘E3’ on the surface area
A3 is:
From above Equations
Lighting
Lambert's cosine law
This law states that ‘illumination, E at any point on a surface is directly proportional
to the cosine of the angle between the normal at that point and the line of flux’.
While discussing, the Lambert's cosine
law, let us assume that the surface is
inclined at an angle ‘θ’ to the lines of flux
as shown in Fig
PQ = The surface area normal to the source and inclined at ‘θ’ to
the vertical axis.
RS = The surface area normal to the vertical axis and inclined at
an angle θ to the source ‘O’.
Lighting
Lambert's cosine law
This law states that ‘illumination, E at any point on a surface is directly proportional
to the cosine of the angle between the normal at that point and the line of flux’.
Lighting
Calculation of number of light points for interior illumination
 The number of lamps required in a particular place can be designed by following
three methods
Watt per square meter:
 This is a rough method. Watts per square meter are calculated on the basis of
efficiency of lamp (lm/watt).
Inverse square law:
 This method is used in street light calculations. In this method law of illumination
is used. For this candle power of the lamps should be known.
Lumen per square meter method:
 This method is used for design of general lighting. In this method, lamp efficiency,
Depreciation factor, utilization factor etc. are used.
Lighting
Lumen method steps
1. Find required lux level
2. Select luminaire
3. Determine room index
4. Determine Number of Fixtures
N =number of lamps required, E=illumination level required (lux), A = area at
working plane height (m2
), F = average luminous flux from each lamp (lm),
UF=Utilization factor and MF=Maintenance factor
Lighting
Lumen method steps
5. Determine Minimum spacing between luminaire
 Minimum spacing = SHR * H
H= Mounting height
SHR= Space to height ratio.
6. Determine Number of required rows of luminaire along width of the room
 Number of required rows= Width of the room/ Minimum spacing
7. Determine Number of luminaire in each row
 Number of luminaire in each row= Total luminaire / Number of rows
Lighting
Lumen method steps
8. Axial spacing along luminaire
 Axial spacing= Length of the room/ Number of luminaire in each row
9. Transverse spacing between luminaire
 Transverse spacing = Width of the room/ Number of luminaire in each row

Lighting
Factory / Industrial Lighting
A good industrial lighting should take into account
 Adequate quantity of illumination
 Good quality of illumination.
Adequate quantity of illumination
 A general lighting system should be designed to provide a uniform
distribution of light over the entire work area. Where work areas are close
to walls, such as work benches, the first row of luminaires should be located
closer to wall or additional lighting should be provided over the particular
work space.
Lighting
Factory Lighting
Adequate quantity of illumination
 To ensure that a given illumination level will be maintained, it is
necessary to design a system to give initially more light than the required
minimum.
 In locations where dirt will collect very rapidly on luminaire surfaces
and where adequate maintenance is not available, the initial value should be
still higher.
 Higher initial values shall be provided for the absorption of the
light while designing lighting requirements.
Lighting
Factory Lighting
Good quality of illumination
 Quality of illumination pertains to the distribution of brightness in the visual
environment.
 Brightness should contribute favorably to visual performance, visual comfort, ease
of seeing, safety and aesthetics for the specific visual task involved.
 Factors which has effect on visibility and the ability to see easily, accurately and
quickly.
Direct Glare
Lighting
Factory Lighting
Good quality of illumination
Luminance and Luminance Ratios
 The ability to see detail depends upon the contrast between the detail
and its background. The greater the contrast, difference in luminance,
the more readily the seeing task is performed.
Reflected Glare
Lighting
Factory Lighting
Good quality of illumination
Distribution, Diffusion and Shadows
 The general lighting system for a factory should be designed for
uniformly distributed illumination.
 Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an
incident ray is reflected at many angles, rather than at just one angle as
in the case of specular reflection. The visibility of objects, excluding
light-emitting ones, is primarily caused by diffuse reflection of light.
Colour quality of light
 The light source should have the good colour rendering index.
Lighting
Factory Lighting
Selection of light for industries
 For industrial lighting the sources of light generally available at present are
tungsten filament lamps, tubular fluorescent lamps, high pressure mercury vapour
(HPMV) discharge lamps and LEDs.
 The selection of any one of these or a combination of these depends on
• Type of application
• Atmospheric conditions of
industrial interiors and/or
exteriors
• Structural features
• Initial outlay
• Running cost
• Ease of maintenance

reacts chemically with the evaporated tungsten to prevent it from affixing to the
glass.
 The halogen light bulb or lamp is a type of incandescent lamp which uses a halogen
gas in order to increase both light output and rated life.

Introduction
 Electric heating is a process in which the electrical energy is converted into heat
energy.
 When current is passed through a conductor, the conductor becomes hot
(resistance heating)
 When a magnetic material is brought in the vicinity of an alternating magnetic
field, heat is produced in the magnetic material (induction heating).
 When an electrically insulating material was subjected to electrical stresses, heat
is produced in the material (dielectric heating).

Different Methods of Heat Transfer
Conduction
 In this mode of heat transfer, one molecule of the body gets heated and transfers
some of the heat to the adjacent molecule and so on.
 There is a temperature gradient between the two ends of the body being heated.
Convection
 Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas) between
areas of different temperature.
Radiation
 Heat transfer due to emission of electromagnetic waves is known as thermal
radiation

Requirements of a good heating material
 High specific resistance
 High melting point
 Free from oxidation
 Low temperature coefficient
 Some commercial materials-Ni-Cr, Ni-Cr-Fe, Ni-Cu and Fe-Cr-Al
Electric Heating
Resistance Heating
Direct Resistance Heating
 In this method the material (or charge) to be heated is
treated as a resistance and current is passed through it.
 Two electrodes are inserted in the material or charge to
be heated. Electrodes can be connected to either a.c. or
d.c. supply.
 The material or charge may be in the form of powder,
small solid pieces or liquid.
 Two electrodes will be required in the case of d.c. or
single-phase a.c. supply but there would be three
electrodes in the case of 3-phase supply.
Electric Heating
Resistance Heating
Direct Resistance Heating
 When the charge is in the form of small pieces, a
powder of high resistivity material is sprinkled over the
surface of the charge to avoid direct short circuit.
 This method of heating is employed in salt bath
furnace and electrode boiler for heating water.
Electric Heating
Resistance Heating
Indirect Resistance Heating
 In this method of heating, electric current is passed
through a resistance element which is placed in an
electric oven (Heating Chamber).
 The heat so produced is delivered to the charge either by
radiation or convection or by a combination of the two.
 Sometimes, resistance is placed in a cylinder.
 This arrangement provides uniform temperature.
Electric Heating
Arc Heating
 The heating of matter by an electric arc. The matter may be gas, liquid or solid.
 An electric arc is a phenomenon in which an electric current (a flow of electrons)
is caused to flow between two electrodes separated by a gas.
 Direct arc heating-Electric arc is formed between the electrodes and the charge
(Material to be heated).
 Indirect arc heating- Radiation contributes for the heating of material.
 Electrodes used are, Carbo / graphite / self-braking electrodes.
Electric Heating
Arc Heating
Direct Arc Heating
 Since the arc is formed between electrodes and the
charge, heat is produced by flow of current through the
charge which offers very low resistance.
 Three phase supply is generally employed for large
capacity furnaces. These three phase supply is connected
to these electrodes spaced at the corners of an equilateral
triangle; the material forms the star point.
 The arc is controlled by either applying variable voltage or
by adjusting the arc length and the arc resistance.
Electric Heating
Arc Heating
Direct Arc Heating
 The most important feature of the direct arc furnace is
that the stirring action is inherent due to the
electromagnetic force setup by the current. This results in
uniform heating of material.
 The most common application is to produce steel.
Electric Heating
Arc Heating
Indirect Arc Heating
 The arc is struck by short circuiting the electrodes
manually or automatically for a moment and then,
withdrawing them apart. The heat from the arc and the hot
refractory lining is transferred to the top layer of the charge
by radiation.
 The heat from the hot top layer of the charge is further
transferred to other parts of the charge by conduction.
 Since no current passes through the body of the charge,
there is no inherent stirring action due to electro-magnetic
forces set up by the current.
Electric Heating
Arc Heating
Indirect Arc Heating
 Hence, such furnaces have to be rocked (moved)
continuously in order to distribute heat uniformly by
exposing different layers of the charge to the heat of the
arc.
 An electric motor is used to operate suitable grinders and
rollers to impart rocking motion to the furnace.
 Rocking action (Movement) provides not only thorough
mixing of the charge.
Electric Heating
Arc Heating
Indirect Arc Heating
 Since in this furnace, charge is heated by radiation only, its
temperature is lower than that obtainable in a direct arc
furnace.
 Such furnaces are mainly used for melting nonferrous
metals although they can be used in iron foundries where
small quantities of iron are required frequently.
Electric Heating
Induction Heating
 Induction heating is based on the principle of
electromagnetic induction.
 The current flows on the outer surface of metallic
disc.
 The current flow is restricted axially to that
surface of the metal with the turns of the heating
coil.
 The heat energy is transferred to the metal at an
extremely rapid rate, much faster that any
conventional method of heating metal.
Electric Heating
Induction Heating
 The heat is generated within the metal without any
physical contact between the source of electrical
energy.
 If the current continues to flow in the disc, the
surface would attain extremely higher temperature.
 The heat in the disc can be controlled by,
High coil current
Larger number of coil turns
High frequency supply
Closing spacing between the coil and work
Magnetic material disc-High permeabillity
Higher electrical resistivity of the disc
Electric Heating
Induction Heating
Core type induction heating
 The furnace consists of hearth (Base of furnace)
in the form of a trough which contains the
material to be melted in the form an annular
ring.
 This metal ring quite large in diameter is
magnetically inter-linked with an electrical
winding which is energized from an AC source.
 The furnace is therefore a transformer in which
the material to be heated forms a single turn
short circuited secondary and is magnetically
coupled to the primary by an iron core.
Electric Heating
Induction Heating
Core type induction heating
 The magnetic coupling between primary and
secondary is poor. This results in high leakage
current and low PF.
 The melting rapid and clean.
 The inherent stirring action of the melt insures a
uniform temperature in the furnance.
Electric Heating
Induction Heating
Core-less type induction heating
 The furnace consists of a ceramic crucible
(vessel in which metals or other substances are
heated) cylindrical in shape enclosed within a
coil which forms the primary of transformer and
the charge in the crucible, the secondary of
transformer.
 The flux produced by the primary winding sets
up eddy-current in the charge which flow
concentrically with those in the primary winding.
 These current heat up the charge to the melting
point and provide stirring action to the charge.
Electric Heating
Induction Heating
Core-less type induction heating
 The crucible and coil are relatively light in
construction and could be conveniently tilted for
pouring.
 These furnaces are used for steel production.
Electric Heating
Dielectric heating
 It is also called high-frequency capacitive heating
and is used for heating insulators like wood, plastics
and ceramics etc. which cannot be heated easily and
uniformly by other methods.
 This method of heating is based on dielectric loss
and this dielectric loss can be expresses as,
Conducting
Plates
V-applied voltage magnitude
F-Frequency of applied voltage
D-distance between plates
εr-Relative permittivity of the medium
A-Area of the plate
d-Thickness of the material to be heated
Δ-Loss angle

Resistance Welding
The term ‘resistance welding’ denotes a process in which welding heat is produced
by the resistance offered to the passage of electric current through the two metal
pieces being welded.
Spot Welding
 It consists of two electrodes which are mounted on
two arms.
 The lower arm is fixed whereas the upper one is
movable.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Spot Welding
 The electrodes are made of low resistance, hard-
copper alloy and are either air cooled or water
cooled.
 Mechanical pressure is applied by the tips of the two
electrodes.
 These electrodes are used not only for providing the
pressure but also to carry the welding current and
concentrate the welding heat on the weld spot
directly below them.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Spot Welding
 As the movable electrode comes down and presses
the two work pieces together, current is passed
through the assembly.
 The metals under the pressure zone get heated upto
about 950°C and fuse together.
 As they fuse, their resistance is reduced to zero,
hence there is a surge of current. This surge is made
to switch off the welding current automatically.
 Spot welding is used for galvanized, tinned and lead
coated sheets and mild steel sheet work.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Seam Welding
 Seam welding is the series of continuous spot
welding.
 If number of spots obtained by spot welding are
placed very closely that they can overlap, it gives rise
to seam welding.
 It consists of two wheel type or roller electrodes.
 These electrodes are placed over metal pieces to be
joined.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Seam Welding
 When these electrodes travel over the metal pieces
which are under pressure, the current passing
through them heats the two metal pieces to the
plastic state and results into continuous spot welds.
 It is usually employed in welding of pressure tanks,
transformers, condensers, evaporators, air craft
tanks, refrigerators, varnish containers and so on.
 The materials which can be welded by this method
are High-carbon steel, stainless steel, Coated steel,
alloys of aluminium, nickel and magnesium.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Projection Welding
 It consists of two electrodes and are flat metal plates
known as platens.
 The two pieces of metal to be welded are held
together in between the two platens, one is movable
and the other is fixed.
 One of the two metal pieces is run through a machine
that makes the bumps or projections of required
shape and size.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Projection Welding
 When the current is passed and the electrode
pressure is applies, the projection collapses and the
sheets are welded together.
 Projection welding is used for steel radiator, coupling
elements, brake shoes and so on.
 The materials which can be welded by this method
are low carbon steel, brass, aluminium and copper.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Butt Welding
 In this case, the two workpieces are brought into
contact end-to-end.
 Then, they are placed in the jaws of the machine
which presses them close together.
 When a suitable pressure is reached, the heavy
current is switched on and the current flowing
through the contact resistance between the ends
brings them to welding heat.
 Butt welding is used for welding of rods, pipes, wires
and so on.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Butt Welding
 The materials which can be welded by this method
are aluminium alloys, brass, copper nickel alloys,
stainless steel, high-carbon and low-carbon steel and
gold.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Flash Butt Welding
 In this method of welding, the two pieces to be
welded are brought very nearer to each other under
light mechanical pressure.
 These two pieces are placed in a conducting
movable clamps.
 When high current is passed through the two metal
pieces and they are separated by some distance,
then arc established between them.
 This arc or flashing is allowed till the ends of the
workpieces reach melting temperature.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Flash Butt Welding
 Then, the supply will be switched off and the pieces
are rapidly brought together under light pressure.
 As the pieces are moved together, the fused metal
and slag come out of the joint making a good solid
joint.
 Flash welding can be used for welding many ferrous
and non-ferrous alloys except for cast iron, lead,
zinc, antimony alloys and bismuth.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Percussion Welding
 It consists of one fixed holder and the other one is
movable.
 The pieces to be welded are held apart, with the help
of two holders.
 When the movable clamp is released, it moves rapidly
carrying the piece to be welded.
 There is a sudden discharge of electrical energy
which establishes an arc between two surfaces and
heating them to their melting temperature.
Electric Heating
Electric welding
Percussion Welding
 As the pieces come in contact with each other under
heavy pressure, the arc is extinguished due to the
percussion blow of the two parts and the force
between them affects the weld.
 The materials which can be welded by this method
are aluminium alloys, copper alloys, stainless steel
and high-carbon and low-carbon steel.
Electric Heating
Electric Arc Welding
 Electric Arc Welding is the process of joining two
metallic pieces or melting of metal.
 The heat is developed by an arc struck between an
electrode and the metal to be welded or between the
two electrodes.
Carbon Arc Welding
 In this method, the arc is struck between the carbon
electrode and the metal or between two carbon
electrodes.
 In the carbon arc welding, carbon or graphite rods
are used as electrode.
Electric Heating
Electric Arc Welding
Carbon Arc Welding
 The arc produced between electrode and base metal
which heat the metal to the melting temperature.
 The filler metal is required for this welding method.
 If the operation required is fast and / or large amount
of filler material is to be deposited, electrode of 2.5
cm diameter with currents of the order of 500 A to
800 A are employed.
 This method of welding is suitable for non ferrous
metal.

Refrigeration and air conditioning
Introduction
 Refrigeration and air conditioning is used to cool products or a building
environment. The refrigeration or air conditioning system (R) transfers heat from a
cooler low-energy reservoir to a warmer high-energy reservoir.
Heat Absorbed
Heat Rejected
Low Temperature Reservoir
High Temperature Reservoir
R Work input
 There are two basic refrigeration systems.
Vapour compression system
Vapour absorption system
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Refrigerant
 A chemical used in cooling systems such as refrigerators and air conditioners.
 It can readily absorb heat at one temperature, and then compressed by a heat
pump to a higher temperature and pressure where it changes phase and
discharges the absorbed heat.
 R-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane), R-410A (mixture of difluoromethane and
pentafluoroethane), R-32 (Difluoromethane), R-134A (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane /
hydrofluorocarbon and haloalkane refrigerant), R-290 (Propane), R-600A
(Isobutane).
 The most environment-friendly refrigerants are “R-290” and “R-600A”
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour compression system
Evaporator
 The low pressure, low temperature
refrigerant enters the evaporator, which
is in contact with the cold reservoir.
 Because a low pressure is maintained,
the refrigerant is able to boil at a low
temperature. So, the liquid absorbs heat
from the cold reservoir and evaporates.
 The refrigerant leaves the evaporator as
a low temperature, low pressure gas and
is taken into the compressor.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour compression system
Compressor
 In this stage, the refrigerant enters the
compressor as a gas under low pressure
and having a low temperature.
 Then, the refrigerants compressed
adiabatically, so the fluid leaves the
compressor under high pressure and with
a high temperature and high velocity.
 Centrifugal Compressors, Reciprocating
Compressors, Screw Compressors, Scroll
Compressors and Hermetic Compressors
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour compression system
Condenser
 The refrigerant with high pressure, high
temperature gas releases heat energy
and condenses inside the "condenser"
portion of the system.
 The condenser is in contact with the hot
reservoir of the refrigeration system.
 The refrigerant leaves as a high pressure,
high temperature liquid.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour compression system
Strainer / drier
 Strainer prevents the plugging flow
control device by dirt, scale and
moisture.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour absorption system
Working
 When heat is supplied by a flame to
the generator, the refrigerant vapour
gets distilled from the aqua ammonia
solution.
 This results in build up of pressure in
the generator, forcing the vapour out
of the condenser.
 The vapour at high pressure is
condensed by the cooling water.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour absorption system
Working
 The liquid refrigent then moves
through the expansion valve and then
to the evaporator, where heat is
absorbed and gets vaporised.
 The refrigerant vapour then moves
through the suction line and back to
the generator, acting also as an
absorber (Vaporised ammonia is
cooled and hence absorbed as aqua
ammonia).
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Vapour absorption system
Working
 When the aqua ammonia solution is
heated and the vapour formed is
distilled.
 The cycle continues again.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Household Refrigerator
Working
 In the domestic refrigerators, vapour
compression systems of refrigeration is
used.
 A capillary tube or restrictor system is
used in the domestic refrigerators, as it
is simple.
 It replaces the expansion valve of the
conventional vapour compression
system.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Household Refrigerator
Working
 The refrigerant is pushed through the
restrictor, due to the pressure difference
between the condenser and evaporator.
 The pressure drop in the restrictor
depends on the velocity, volume,
viscosity and density of the refrigerant.
 The capillary tubing and the condenser
are both at the back side of the domestic
refrigerator.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Household Refrigerator
Working
 The compressor and motor are sealed in
a single unit called the sealed unit which
is provided at the bottom of the
refrigerator.
 To prevent the chocking of the capillary
tubing by moisture, a silicagel dehydrator
is used.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Refrigerator Wiring Diagram
Working
 A set of normally closed (NC) contacts
is in series with the motor start
winding.
 The electromagnetic winding is in
series with the auxiliary winding of
the motor.
 When the contacts close, the motor
starts and the auxiliary winding is
energised.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Refrigerator Wiring Diagram
Working
 Sufficient voltage is induced in the
auxiliary winding when it reaches the
rated speed.
 This voltage causes the current to flow
through the relay coil.
 This causes the relay to open.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
Refrigerator Wiring Diagram
Working
 Thermostat is a thermal switch. As
soon as the temperature reaches
threshold value of the fridge, the
thermostat automatically cuts off the
supply to the machine. After some
time, when the temperature rises in
the refrigerator, it again receives the
supply to the machine automatically.
