MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is an action taken on anything to keep it moving or to restore it to good working


condition. If an item is not properly taken care of, break down .When the item is an equipment
or tools, its breakdown will cause a lot of inconvinences and delay the work being done to
prevent an item from breaking down there should be regular maintenance

REASONS FOR MAINTENANCE

[Link] make the item or equipment function properly

[Link] avoid preventable breakdown

[Link] reduces chances if accident and ensure safe use

[Link] the item or eouipment last longer

[Link] avoid the inconvenience of equipment failure

[Link] reduce time and thereby save money

TYPES OF MAINTENANCE

[Link] Maintenance:This type of maintenance carried out on an equipment

before breakdown occurs. Most preventive maintenance activities are regular ,predetermined
and planned in advance .Preventive maintenance usually include activities like cleaning ,
oiling ,greasing ,checking ,adjusting and servicing.

[Link] Maintenance : Involves action taken to restore or correct a broken down


equipment to a function state. An equipment can breakdown without any prior signal.
Corrective maintenance is usually expensive and time consuming. Here equipment may need
total overhand and some parts may need to be replaced or repaired . This type of maintenance
is corrective in nature.

[Link] Maintenance: It is carried out on an equipment when there is breakdown signal


such signals are change in sound ,noise redlight [indicating danger] increase or decrease in
speed . Any action taken when a breakdown signal is noticed is predictive maintenance.

Predictive maintenance involves such action like checking , adjusting ,replacement of


parts ,servicing.
BASIC ELECTRICITY

The origin of electricity can traced to the existence of certain particles in matter . The scientific
experiment and work of men like [Link] Rutherford ,Benjamin Franklin and few others
who have shown that matter is not just made of molecules and atoms but that the atom itself is
made up of three basic particles called:

[Link]-Which carry positive charge

[Link]-These carry no charge

[Link]-These carry negative charge

STRUCTURE OF ATOM

The proton and neutron are packed togrther to form the [Link] electrons move
around the entity,same way planets move around the sun.

For an atom,the following are observed to be true:

-It is electrically neutral i.e equal no of proton and electron

The proton and neutron are packed together to form the [Link] electrons move
around the sun.

For an atom the following are observed to be true:

-It is electricity neutral i.e equal no of proton and electron.

-The force of attraction between proton and electron in motion about their orbit. It is possible
when the electron(s) in the outmost shell are for them to jump out of their orbit and wander as
free electron. It is also possible for an atom to receive into its outmost shell free electron . In
some cases electron is either lost or gained . Thus net positive and net negative charge is
created by rubbing materials together, this process of transfer or movement actually takes
place hence electricity is created.

Electricity therefore can be defined as the flow of electric charges (either positive or
negative). Charges created by rubbing are static, they can only flow for brief instant .Electricity
such as this is described known type of electricity we encounter in several ways in our daily
lives:

-When combing our hair especially during dry season.

-When pressing ,crackling sound is heard and if the environment is dark , the spark are seen

-At rainy season thunderstorm and lighting are real e.g static electricity.

Later Micheal Faraday discovered current electricity, which is a more useful type of current
which flows continuously for as long there is a generating source .The generating source may be
batteries,ac or dc generator.

Not all materials allows electricity to pass through them,these materials which allows the
flow of electricity through them is called conductor and these which do not allow electricity
pass through them are called insulator.

The movement of free electron is called electric [Link] two classes of electricity are
static and current electricity.

The space around any charged object usually contain line of force because another object
which is also charged when brought into that space experiences either a force of attraction or
repulsion . The space in which a charged object experiences a force is known as electric field. A
fundamental law which has been established by experiment shows that

-Like charge repel

-Unlike charge attract


TYPES OF CURRENT

[Link] current(DC):Is the current which flows steadily in one [Link] of this,is the
simple circuit containing a battery, wire and an electric bulb.

[Link] current (AC):Is the current which change it direction at periodic interval. Examples
of this, is the current that comes from the power station.

Basic Component Of Electric Circuit

Electric circuit is the path provided for the flow of electric charges (or current). Each
component connected to a circuit has a role to play. The component are :

[Link] Or Source of power i.e from power holding company of Nigeria

[Link](or key):There should always be a means of closing and opening a circuit . The symbol
is

[Link] Bulb:symbol is

[Link] Wire

[Link]: Resistor in circuit are connected to the flow of current. The symbol is

6. Capacitor: They are parallel plate separated by a dielectric material (i.e insulator material),
capacitor are storage component, storing electrical energy in an electrical field. Symbol for
capacitor is

7. Inductor:Cord carrying current are referred to as inductor . They are storage device ,storing
electrical energy in magnetic field ,symbol is

There are several other components placed in a circuit to perform different function.

Electrical Quantities And Their Measurement

Certain quantities are associated with electrical quantities which needs to be measured , these
quantities are:
a. Current : This can be defined as the quantity of charges flowing through section of a
circuit in a given time or it is the flow of electron. Current is measured with an
instrument called Ammeter and the unit of measurement is Ampere.
b. Voltage : Voltage across a circuit is the potential difference or amount of work that has
to be done in moving unit of charge across the circuit voltage is measured in
volts (v) using a voltmeter.
flow of current ohm a german scientist was the person who discovered the relationship
between I,V and R i.e current, voltage and
It is law stating this relation
R = V/I
Resitance can be measured directly using an ohmmeter or multimeter.
[Link] : The amount of electrical energy consumed in a given timeis called power.
Power can be calculated from the value of I,V and R measured using a wattmeter.
P=current (I)xVoltage(V)
Combining this ohm’s law , power can be expressed also as P=V2/R or P=I2R
Simple Calculation Involving Electricity
According to ohm’s law, the relationship that exist between current, resistance and
voltage is expressed as ; I =V/R or V=IR or R=V/I
Example
1. A current of 3a is drawn from 6volt battery calculate the resistance.
Solution
I=V/R
=R=V/I=6/3=2ohms
[Link] an electric circuit the potential difference is 15volt while the resistance is
45ohms .What is the current following in the circuit.
Solution
Potential difference =Voltage=18volt
I=V/R=15/45=0.33A

Assignment
[Link] the current flowing in a circuit whose total resistance is 100ohms and
applied volt is 24.
[Link] a wire is resistance 0.050hms drawing current of 10A from battery . Find the
potential difference.
3.A potential difference (pd) of 240volts is applied to a lamp of 60ohms resistance .
What amount of current will flow in the circuit.
[Link] the current and power flowing in a current having resistance of 100ohms
and voltage source of 12volts
Electrical Appliances
This is a device that uses electricity to perform a function. Examples are computer,
television,washing machine,DVD player, Refrigeration,table
lamp,toaster,freezer,microwave,water heater.

Electrical accessories
An electrical accessories is a basic part used in wiring either for protection and
adjustment or for the control of the electrical circuits or for a combination of these
[Link] are:lamp holder,switch,ceiling switch,13A plug,cordgip lamp
holder,joint box,socket outlet,socket plug,3way lampholder adaptor,oneway switch

Transformers:This is a device used to lower or increase voltage

Stabilizer:Are electronic device responsible for correcting the voltage of the electrical
power supply.
