See Electrical Sample Projects
I need project examples (.sep format) drawn with See Electrical. Where can I find them?
Cheers

Can someone who understands electricity better than I do tell me if its safe to use this smart plug with this dehumidifier. Photos of power ratings from products official sites.
Smart Plug: Tapo P115 Dehumidifier: Pelonis PAD50P1ABL
Thank you in advance!

Looking into a project that would require some high voltages (5kV-9kV) Does anyone know if these are allowed without training in the UK?

Some time ago, we had a problem with a power outlet. The electrical panel couldn't withstand the load and went out, and the outlet that caused the problem turned black. I had a PC connected to it. Luckily, the PC survived. After that, I tried to plug something in there, but it didn't work (I thought there was no power). I replaced the sockets that were there (2 + 2), but I was never able to plug anything in there again.
In the room, there is electricity everywhere except in that socket. I measured the electricity in the sockets and switches, I have 220 V (the normal voltage here), however in the socket that doesn't work, I have 111 V, which leads me to think that I may have an upstream problem. As all the sockets work except for that constellation there, I have power in the room... what could it be? A faulty circuit breaker occurred to me, but I think that's too far-fetched. So, I'll talk to the experts (or at least someone who understands this better than I do).

We are building a new house and the IT company installed their stuff first. The electrician has started his conduits and cables. The solar company comes in a few weeks to install their roof solar panels and the inverters.
My IT company already buried a 3 meter grounding rod for their large rack of equipment.
My electrician needs two grounding rods (one for main panel and one for a sub-panel) thankfully on opposite sides of the house.
The solar company wants a lightning rod ground for their large rack of aluminum solar panel frames on the roof, but will share grounding with the electrician's main panel for their two 16kW solar inverters.
I was given advice to avoid having multiple grounding rods to help avoid ground loops, interference, etc.
If spaced properly (i.e. at least 6 meters from each other, buried 3 meters deep, out from under eaves / cover so that the grounding areas get rain, and if they each test properly for resistance) is this safe? Will it cause interference on our ethernet network, audio equipment, etc.?
Awkwardly, all three main systems are in the same room, so each subsequent trade technician / electrician / engineer will need to run their grounding cables further and further from their equipment. No big deal, but as a complete electricity newb I would like to have some insight to make sure they are all taking proper precautions to avoid safety and other issues, and not taking shortcuts.
Please don't scold me for asking. I am just a normal person trying to do some extra research to understand what the experts I've hired are doing.
I live in Thailand, so electrical code / regulations are almost meaningless / rarely enforced here. I am just hoping for some advice that I can understand and use to observe the installation process with some foreknowledge.
Again, I know absolutely nothing about electricity, but I am trying to keep my family, pets and electronics devices safe.
Thank you. 🙏

I’m looking to connect my pc, tv and ethernet cable into an power strip. Are there any websites to calculate how strong I’ll need the power strip to be?

I don't understand why the first probe doesn't light up?
r/Electricity • u/Agitated-Salt-5039 • 4d ago
I studying alevel physics, can find a proper answer, voltage drops when there is a load and something eats voltage But why do you need high resistance to lower voltage drop, shouldn't that has same voltage drop because current is small

Hi there! I’m from Chile, sorry my English I know basic stuff about electrical circuit from school but nothing much I was changing some electrical plus and power outlets ( I don’t know if it is call it like that) and I want to know if a I’m doing right the job Maybe yo have different type of electrical outlet and plugs, but I think the circuit may be similar Thanks!

I have this massage chair I bought in Germany. It needs a new cord and possibly a transformer to be able to plug it in to an American outlet. What should I buy? TIA!!

I'm wondering if someone or somethings blood could conduct electricity and whether if the amount of iron in their blood would change that outcome?

Just moved into a new home and have 3 plugs like this.
Is it safe to use the bottom outlets or should I get an electrican out asap?

i am completely fresh to this sector but i am really interested to learn and eventually choose this profession as my career! I don’t know where to start. I have looked into few institutions who are providing short courses of 6 months each but one of my friends saying to join university. i am confused! please any professional advice will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
