Electricity and Electrical Energy

Electricity is the focus of The Electricity Forum, which is dedicated to the exchange of policy and technical information about Electricity and Electrical Energy Matters. We deal with issues in common to electric utilities and large industrial, commercial and institutional power consumers. We publish electrical magazines, electrical handbooks and electrial training conferences. Browse our site and learn all about electricity facts, definitions, explanations, and electrical equipment supplies and technologies that help to make modern life possible.

Our Electricity pages offer lots of education about electricity for homework projects and lessons about electric power: subjects like current, magnetism, static electricity, and electricity subjects. See our Electricity Pages.

Our Arc Flash/Short Circuit Study course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of arc flash hazards, prevention, electrical safety, calculation and analysis. It is also designed to provide the detailed steps required to perform an arc flash study.

This course will help to maximize industrial productivity and help to solve problems faster and reduce electrical equipment downtime. Establishing preventative maintenance programs is becoming critical to maintaining the uptime of electrical equipment and can significantly reduce both planned and unplanned downtime. Unplanned downtime costs are difficult to calculate, but often significant. For some industries, it can represent 1 to 3 per cent of revenue (potentially 30 per cent to - 40 per cent of profits) annually. The course will review equipment necessary to perform a Site Survey, such as industry oscilloscopes and Multimeters, Power Quality Analyzers, Current Clamp meters, and Mini Infrared Thermometers.
