Invisible Electricity
Written by Karl Olsen
The movement of electricity passes unseen through switchboards, circuit breakers & cables, providing an invisible energy source to connected appliances. A clue that electricity indeed exists, becomes apparent, when the appliance it powers ‘shows off’ its hard work in the form of light, motion & heat etc.
The amount of electricity consumed by an appliance is usually unknown & difficult to determine unless we delve into the appliance technical manuals or use the tools of the trade to measure it.
“A quick way to gauge electricity consumption of an appliance is to observe the magnitude and intensity of the energy, heat & light emitted from it.”
