Basically lamp is a device that produce light and heat either by emission,thermal or discharge radiation.It can be produced in many ways depend on manufacturing technology to create a design and suitable with application.

Over the last few years,lighting manufacture start develop the energy saving lamp and pro long the life span of lamp.When we choosing the types of lamp,the important key is must energy efficiency,suitable with design and application also have a long life span.

The efficiency of a lamp is measured in lumen per watt.From chart below,we can see the comparison about efficiency of lamps and we can decide which type more suitable with our needed and application. read more

Capacitor sizing for power factor correction

09/05/2011 by 27 Comments

Commonly method for power factor correction using the capacitor to generate reactive power ( kVAR ) to reduce apparent power ( kVA ) form inductive load.

This time i want share a simple method to sizing our capacitor to improve power factor for induction motor and utility electricity.This method also can use for capacitor bank sizing.

Power factor correction is the one of famous topic for all electrical person at around the world.Many discussion and debate about how to sizing the capacitor for power factor correction.

How to sizing capacitor for power factor correction?

To properly sizing the amount of capacitor (kVAR) required to correct the lagging power factor,we  must have three (3)  important of information below: read more

This device is very useful in our life.Without it,we stay in the dark…so be thanks to Thomas Alva Edison & Joseph Swan because their effort and development of a Light Bulb.We can found a bulbs any area likes home,office,factory,shopping complex and many more places.

The basic function of light bulb is electric power supply will make the filament in a enclosed glass shell turn to heater concept and it become hot and reaction with that is either filled or evacuated with an inert gas.Then the bulb will light on.

Now the people more interested about ENERGY SAVING BULBS.It can reduce our electricity cost and have a long life span from 1 year until 3 years.Now in market have a many choice of ENERGY SAVING BULBS.This type can light same brightness like others bulb in low WATT consumption. read more
