It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet. And, its antimicrobial property is becoming increasingly important to the prevention … Continue reading →

A 5,000-watt generator should provide more than enough power to run a refrigerator, with power left to spare. Most home refrigerators need around 2,000 starting watts of power. Can a 2000 watt generator run a refrigerator? It is perfectly safe … Continue reading →

A battery stores energy chemically. You have a part of the battery with an excess of electrons, and another part with a lack of electrons. The excess electrons want to go to the other side (because like charges repel), and … Continue reading →

When is an Electric Vehicle designated as a ‘High voltage’ system? In the automotive industry, high-voltage refers to voltages above 60 V DC. At this level, the need for contact protection becomes mandatory. The voltage range varies for different category … Continue reading →

The cells in an automotive battery are contained within the same hard rubber housing, connected together with thick, lead bars instead of wires. The electrodes and electrolyte solutions for each cell are contained in separate, partitioned sections of the battery … Continue reading →
