Identifying Network Topologies

A network topology is the physical layout of computers, cables, and other components on a network. There are a number of different network topologies, and a network may be built using multiple topologies. The different types of network layouts are : Bus topology Star topology Mesh topology Ring topology Hybrid topology Wireless topology Bus Topologies A […]

characteristics of a network

A network is a group of systems that are connected to allow sharing of resources— such as files or printers—or sharing of services—such as an Internet connection There are two aspects of setting up a network: the hardware used to connect the systems together and the software installed on the computers to allow them to

electrical switchboards

Switchboards are similar in function to panels, but on a larger scale. A switchboard divides large blocks of electrical current into smaller blocks of current used by electrical devices . Applications range from small office buildings, to large industrial or institutional facilities. Switchboards are low voltage equipment, 600 volts or less. The purpose of a

electrical panelboard

Panelboards are needed to distribute electricity throughout commercial and industrial facilities. A panelboard is a component of an electrical distribution system which divides an electrical power feed into branch circuits, while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit, in a common enclosure. The panelboard serves to protect branch circuits from overloads and

Molded Case Circuit Breakers

Molded Case Circuit Breakers are used to efficiently distribute power throughout an electrical system. They provide a means to manually open or close a circuit, and are designed to protect wiring and equipment by automatically opening under an overload or short circuit condition. In the United States, most Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) are listed

what is miniature circuit breaker

Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) are designed to protect the conductors and insulation from damage due to over load and short circuit.The simplest way to visualize a miniature circuit breaker is to think of a load center in a home, the circuit breakers inside are miniature circuit breakers. Components MCBs are made up of 5 components

Types of Low Voltage Busway

The two types of low voltage (LV) busway are feeder and plug-in. They are commonly intermixed on runs of busway and plug into each other. Feeder Busway Sometimes called low impedance busway Used to feed power to a distant point Beneficial because the voltage drop over the run is generally low (somewhat lower than plug-in

What is Busway?

Busway is an economical, modern method of distributing electricity within a building. It is similar to the tracks that an electric model train runs upon, both in look and in function. Train track sections can be snapped together to form a number of different paths for the train to follow. Likewise, sections of busway can

types of security countermeasures

There are three types of Security Countermeasures: Hi-Tech, Lo-Tech, and No-Tech. These three must be used in combination to create a layered and effective security program. No single security countermeasure is effective against all threat scenarios. Access Control Systems, in particular, are a type of “controlled vulnerability” as each access control portal is a hole
