What year did electric power tools become widely available?

Most electric power tools as we know them were developed in WW2. They started becoming available for home use in the late 1940's.


Why do electrical tools and equipment need regular maintenance?

Most electrical tools and equipment are used on live or energized system. If the tools and equipment are not well maintained, user may get electric shock and may even lead to fatal accident.


What is electric strain energy?

Probably the commonest example of electrical strain energy, is the charge stored on a capacitor. This energy is stored by straining the dielectric, and this is how the energy is stored. Similarly, there are a family of natural materials in which an applied strain will result in an electrical charge manifesting on two of the surfaces. Ordinary quartz is the commonest material exhibiting this behavior to a significant level, but many synthetic materials have been developed to perform well. One application of these is as piezo-electric drivers for cutting tools. Another everyday application is in the 'piezo' crystal used in gas appliances as an igniter.


What is answer to what are the different ellectrical materials and supplies used by the electrissian?

The main materials used by an electrician would be the appropriately sized conductors, and the appropriate insulators to separate them. Her main hand tools would be screwdrivers and small spanners, with a volt-ammeter for measuring the continuity and voltages. Other hand tools would be needed to work with wood and metal.


When working on site what type of electric hand tools is appropriate for use?

Needle-nosed pliers in two sizes, large and small, wire strippers and side-cutting pliers are absolute necessities. Fish tapes and poles are very important for guiding wires around and through tight spaces. Screwdrivers and nut drivers in all of the smaller sizes, electrical tape, hand saws and measuring tools are essential tools.
