Kenya has recently aquired a 3.97billion loan form the African Development Bank. This is part of a regional grids of five countries.The five countries include Uganda, Burundi, DRC, Congo & Rwanda. Speaking during the signing ceremony, at The Treasury building, Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta, said the project will enhance cross border sharing of electricity and development at low cost power

Given the national and international exposure that each stadium in the FIFA World Cup 2010 receives, it is imperative that all efforts are made to ensure that electrical power supply in the venues is as reliable as possible. In this post according to �22nd AMEU Technical Convention110 AMEU Proceedings 2009 Stadium electricity supplies � an assessment of the specification and readiness� document

Have you ever wondered why high voltage power lines buzz (zszszs sound)? Its because they are producing corona which is interacting with the surrounding air.
Corona is the process by which current, perhaps sustained, develops from an electrode with a high potential in a neutral fluid, usually air, by ionizing that fluid so as to create plasma around the electrode. The ions generated eventually

AutoCAD� Electrical software is AutoCAD� software for controls designers. Purpose-built to create and modify electrical control systems, AutoCAD Electrical includes all the functionality of AutoCAD plus a complete set of electrical CAD features. Comprehensive symbol libraries and tools for automating electrical engineering tasks help save hours of effort, so you can spend more time innovating.

Power factor in Relation to Power


Power is consumed only in resistance since neither pure inductor nor the capacitor consumes any power. The power consumed (True Power) in Inductor (L) and Capacitor (C) is zero. There is a circulating power that moves from the source to the load back and forth and does not do any useful work in the circuit. Current and voltage are in phase in a Resistance
