SAFETY RULES
(Electricity is a good servant but a bad master)

1. SAFETY is of paramount importance in the Electrical Engineering Laboratories.


2. Electricity NEVER EXECUSES careless persons. So exercise enough care and attention in
handling electrical equipment and follow safety practices in the laboratory.
3. Avoid direct contact with any voltage source and power line voltages. (Otherwise, any

E
such contact may subject you to electrical shock)

EG
4. Wear rubber-soled shoes. (To insulate you from earth so that even if you accidentally
contact a live point, current will not flow through your body to earth and hence you will

LL
be protected from electrical shock)
5. Wear laboratory-coat and avoid loose clothing. (Loose clothing may get caught on an

CO
equipment/instrument and this may lead to an accident particularly if the equipment
happens to be a rotating machine)

IC
6. Girl students should have their hair tucked under their coat or have it in a knot.
7. Do not wear any metallic rings, bangles, bracelets, wristwatches and neck chains. (When
HN
you move your hand/body, such conducting items may create a short circuit or may touch
a live point and thereby subject you to electrical shock)
C
8. Be certain that your hands are dry and that you are not standing on wet floor. (Wet parts
of the body reduce the contact resistance thereby increasing the severity of the shock)
TE

9. Ensure that the power is OFF before you start connecting up the circuit.(Otherwise you
LY

will be touching the live parts in the circuit)


10. Get your circuit diagram approved by the staff member and connect up the circuit strictly
PO

as per the approved circuit diagram.


11. Check power chords for any sign of damage and be certain that the chords use safety
plugs and do not defeat the safety feature of these plugs by using ungrounded plugs.
N

12. When using connection leads, check for any insulation damage in the leads and avoid
DI

such defective leads.


13. Do not defeat any safety devices such as fuse or circuit breaker by shorting across it.
A'

Safety devices protect YOU and your equipment.


M

14. Switch on the power to your circuit and equipment only after getting them checked up
and approved by the staff member.
15. Do not make any change in the connection without the approval of the staff member.
16. In case you notice any abnormal condition in your circuit ( like insulation heating up,
resistor heating up etc ), switch off the power to your circuit immediately and inform the
staff member.

ELECTRIC IRON BOX


PO

An electric iron box is used to iron the cloths. Electric iron box can be classified into two
types as below
N

 Ordinary Electric Iron Box


DI

 Automatic Electric Iron Box


ORDINARY ELECTRIC IRON BOX
A'

It consists of Chromium plated base plate, Heating element,


M

Pressure plate and Iron case with Handle

Sole Plate

It is made up of Cast iron and its bolts is Nickel plated with very shining like glasses.

MA’DIN Polytechnic college 36


ELECTRICAL WORKSHOP PRACTICE DEPARTMENT OF EEE

Heating Element

It is made up of flat Nichrom wire and wound on a Mica sheet. Its wattage
varies 450, 500, 1000 etc.,
Pressure Plate

It is made up of Cast iron. Its shape as heating element. It sets and presses the
heating element on sole plate with the help of two machine screws and nuts.
Iron Case

E
EG
It is used for covering the all above parts. In which an insulator terminal and
handle is provided. It is make up of iron sheet with Nickel plating.

LL
Wooden or Ebonite Handle

CO
It is used for holding the bar terminal with stand washers.
Porcelain Sheet

IC
Nut, Bolt and Washers are used to tighten the weight plate and iron case
HN
should be insulated by insulating materials like Porcelain sheet, Mica sheet,
Ebonite sheet
C
TE

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IRON BOX


LY

In addition to the above mentioned iron box, the automatic iron box has a
thermostat which is connected in series with the element. This thermostat
PO

controls the temperature. Prevent over heating of iron and thus avoids damage
to the heating element. The required temperature can be obtained with the
N

help of thermostat.
DI

Principle of Operation
A'

An electric iron box works on the principle that when an AC current passed
through a resistive wire the electrical energy is transferred to heat energy. The
M

Nichrome wire is heated up to a certain temperature and gets a bright orange-


red colour. The wire used in heating element generally made by Nichrome
wire which is a combination of 15% Chromium 20% Iron and remains Nickel.

RELATED INFORMATIONS:-

Electric mixer is born for house purpose. It’s very useful appliance for grinding. Another use of
mixer is prepare fruit juice.

The speed of mixer is high. The mixers are available in small medium and large sizes. Large size
one is the mostly used for commercial purpose. The electric mixer can be divided into three
parts from construction point of view.

Bowl
TE

The material to be grinded or mixed is put into the bowl after the preparation of it. Ready the
