  This book includes my lecture notes for electrical power distribution book. The fundamentals of electrical power distribution are applied to various distribution system layouts and the function of common distribution system substations and equipment. The book introduces the design procedures and protection methods for power distribution systems of consumer installations. Circuit simulation and practical laboratories are utilised to reinforce concepts.
  
  The book is divided to different learning outcomes
  
  • CLO 1- Discuss the fundamental concepts related to electrical distribution systems.
  • CLO 2- Explain the role of distribution substations and related equipment.
  
  • CLO 3- Outline standard methods for power distribution to consumer installations.
  
  • CLO 4- Apply short-circuit and over-load protection principles for electrical installations
  
  a) CLO1- Discuss the fundamental concepts related to electrical distribution systems.
  
  • Principle of operation of transformers.
  • Explain the role of the distribution system in a power system, common distribution system layouts, and common voltages, voltage drops and regulation levels from transmission to distribution.

  b) CLO2- Explain the role of distribution substations and related equipment.
  
  • Explain the function of the distribution substation in view of distribution system layout
  
  • Explain the use of transmission, grid, primary and distribution substations a power system.
  • Explain the use of various types of bus-bar configurations in distribution substations.
  
  • Discuss the use of cabling, transformers, circuit breakers, switches, reclosers, and sectionalisers in a distribution system.
  
  c) CLO3- Outline standard methods for power distribution to consumer installations.
  
  • Discuss commonly used methods for low voltage power supply systems (TN, TN-C, TN-C-S and TT).
  
  • Discuss the main features of a one-line, electrical installation diagram and related symbols.
  • Discuss electrical color codes and factors affecting cable installations.
  
  • Design an electrical feeder by (1) selecting the design current, (2) selecting the overload current protection, (3) determining the applicable correction factors, (4) selecting the current-carrying capacity of cable and cable sizing, and (5) calculating the allowable voltage drop in feeder
  
  d) CLO4- Apply short-circuit and over-load protection principles for electrical installations.
  
  • Explain the meaning of overload and over-current and methods of protection
  
  • Discuss the nature of electric shock, need for earthing, earth loop impedance, and principle of protective multiple earthing.
  
  • Explain the principles of fuse/MCB selection in relation to feeder protection under overload and short circuit fault conditions.
  
  • Explain the operation of earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCB) and residual current device (RCD).

  On the 23rd of May 2019, Hakan Bulgurlu became one of the fortunate few to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. To stand on top of the world’s highest mountain is a humbling experience, to bear witness to nature at its most awe-inspiring and powerful is even more humbling. Bulgurlu’s quest to climb Everest came with a purpose: making the environment the centre of his ambition to highlight the catastrophic effect climate change is having on our planet, to lead by example and to seek out practical solutions. He wanted to use the expedition as a wake-up call to what we are doing to the natural world.  
  In his powerful new book, Bulgurlu tells the fascinating story of this adventure of a lifetime, harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure. He delves into the roots of the environmental crisis we find ourselves in, speaking to climate activists and campaigners, biologists, scientists, filmmakers, academics, economists, entrepreneurs, global leaders and innovators. They help shed light on the issues that we face and the solutions that will help secure a better future for generations to come. In this gripping account of his journey, Bulgurlu describes the challenges he faced in reaching the summit, and the challenges we all face in protecting the planet and the future of humanity.

  From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Elephant's on Acid comes a collection of the wackiest theories from science and history.What if we’re living inside a black hole? What if we’ve already found extraterrestrial life? What if the dinosaurs died in a nuclear war? What if Jesus Christ was actually a mushroom?In Psychedelic Apes, bestselling author Alex Boese will delve into the curious scientific subculture of weird theories. Thoroughly bizarre and contrary to the established norm, these ideas are often vehemently rejected by the intellectual community.From the creation of the universe to the evolution of humans, the birth of civilization right through to our more recent past, Psychedelic Apes explores some of the craziest ideas from science and history and shows that, sometimes, even the weirdest theories may be proved true . . .

  Do You Feel As If The Mysteries Of The Universe Are Beyond Your Grasp? Have You Tried To Immerse Yourself In The Fascinating World Of Quantum Physics Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Complex Terminology And Abstract Concepts? Perhaps You Feel Like A Tourist In A Strange Land, Overwhelmed By The Wonders Around You But Without A Guide To Help You Understand What You Are Seeing. 
  Why Do Other Quantum Physics Books Fail To Meet Your Expectations? 
  Many Books On Quantum Physics Fail In One Critical Respect: They Take For Granted That Readers Already Have Deep Prior Knowledge. These Texts Often Focus On The Technical Details, Obviating The Fact That Most Readers First Need An Intuitive Understanding Of The Fundamental Concepts. As A Result, You Have Probably Encountered Works That Tell You About Wave-Particle Duality, Quantum Superposition, Or The Uncertainty Principle, Without First Having Established A Solid Foundation That Allows You To Assimilate These Concepts Effectively. 
  But What If The Problem Is Not That Quantum Physics Is Too Complicated, But That It Has Not Been Presented In The Right Way? That's Where This Magical And Fascinating Read Changes The Game. 
  This Book Has Been Designed With You In Mind. Instead Of Throwing You Into The Deep End Of The Quantum Ocean, It Takes You By The Hand Through A Journey Of Discovery. It Starts With The Basics Of Quantum Physics In Chapter 1, Establishing A Solid Foundation Before Introducing More Complex Ideas Such As Quantum Entanglement In Chapter 4 Or Quantum Superposition In Chapter 6. 
  It Is Not Only A Journey Of Learning, But Also Of Reflection. The Book Raises Fundamental Questions About How We Understand The World. In Chapter 16, For Example, You Can Explore The Relationship Between Quantum Physics And Consciousness, Which Will Surely Give You A New Perspective On Your Place In The Universe.

  Here’s why getting your CompTIA A+ alone won’t get you a job in IT. 
  If you want to figure out how you can use this knowledge to your advantage — before spending all your time and money preparing for the exam — then start by asking yourself this. 
  If you were hiring for someone to join your IT department, do you know what you’d look for in a candidate? 
  Would you give someone a job simply based on whether they had just one certificate? 
  Wouldn’t you want to see if they could actually handle the job you’re hiring them for before making an offer? 
  Despite what you may have heard about switching careers into IT… getting your A+ will only get you so far. 
  In fact, it might not get you anywhere — at least, not anywhere close to the kind of job offer you want. 
  There are over 1 million IT professionals with A+ certifications, according to CompTIA. 
  Which means if you want to stand out from all the other candidates you’re competing with… and make it hard for employers to say “no” to you… then passing your A+ exam isn’t going to be enough. 
  So instead of helping recruiters fill their quotas… and stressing out over not having found a job months after the exam… you can turn your A+ certification into a bargaining chip that helps you fast-track your transition into IT.  
  And that’s what makes this book different from all the other A+ study guides out there. On top of showing you how to ace the exam with ease, it also offers tips on what to do after you’ve earned your certification. 
  Even if you have no prior IT experience, there are still plenty of ways getting CompTIA A+ certified can help you launch a long-term career — and one that actually pays off. 
  So if you’re done working dead-end jobs… and want to make sure you get the most out of your A+ certification…then this is your book.
