Workshop safety and Lab coats


Why Should We Wear Lab Coats?

  • Lab coats are personal protective equipment and should be worn in the workshop when working with tools and electrical equipment to avoid scraps and cuts.
  • Appropriate lab coats should be fully buttoned with sleeves rolled down. They should also be fire-resistant.
  • In case of an accident, it is much faster and easier to remove a lab coat than street clothes to minimize skin contact with hazardous materials.

When to Wear Lab Coats

  • Always wear lab coats when working in a workshop.
  • always wear lab coats when working with tools and heavy equipment.

When NOT to Wear Lab Coats

  • Don't wear lab coats in public places, such as offices, lunch rooms, lounge areas, or elsewhere outside the laboratory, as they can transfer hazardous materials and contaminate these areas.

Module 3 - Identification and specification of electrical components - Electrical workshop

 
Module 3:

Dear Students,
Below is the list of information you need to know from Module 3 of electrical workshop.

  • 9 basic electrical components from Module 3
    • lamp - light indicator
    • motor - motion indicator
    • buzzer - sound indicator
    • resistor - limit the flow of current
    • variable resistor -  adjust or control the flow of current
    • LDR - light dependent resistor - resistance changes with light intensity
    • capacitor - used to store electrical charge
    • inductor - used to store magnetic field 
    • diode - lets current flow in one direction only
  • You should know the function and uses of all the electrical components
  • Resistor color code
  • BBROY from Great Britain has a Very Good Wife
  • Capacitor color code, you should understand the 3 numbers written on capacitors and determine the value of the capacitors from there.
  • End of chapter questions and answers.

Applications of Capacitors, Inductors and Diodes


Capacitors:

Capacitors are used for several purposes:

  • Timing - for example with a timer controlling the charging and discharging.
  • Smoothing - for example in a power supply.
  • Filtering - for example in the tone control of an audio system.
  • Tuning - for example in a radio system.
  • Storing energy - for example in a camera flash circuit.

 


Inductors:

  • Traffic Light Sensors: to detect the car and change the signal from red to green.
  • Flittering: to filter out noise in any voice signal.

 


Diodes:

  • Light Emitting Diodes
  • Rectifier Circuits
  • Directing current in one direction only
  • Vending Machines
