All transformers work off of the Faraday law, in some fashion. There are specialized types designed for various applications. Below are descriptions of some of the different types:

Iron Core Transformers :
The core of an iron core transformer is a set of multiple iron plates, which have excellent magnetic properties making iron core transformers very efficient. The sheets of the plates are normally made of silicon steel with insulating paint on their surface. Magnetizing and demagnetizing happens very quickly making iron core transformers a perfect choice.

Isolation Transformers :
The role of isolation transformers is to transmit electrical power to a device from a power source. Technically, all transformers can be defined as an isolation transformer, due to the fact that all transformers use the process of induction to convert electricity, as opposed to the use of a conductor. However, the main characteristic that sets isolation transformers apart from other categories is that they are designed to isolate electricity, or isolate the device from the power source. Numerous applications utilize isolation transformers. These applications include uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), test and measurement systems, robotics, motor controls, light fixtures, medical electronics, industrial control panels, data communications, avionics, and audio systems.

Ferrite Core Transformers :
The permeable magnetic qualities of ferrite core transformers controls the loss of energy in high frequency applications. They can be shaped and fitted to any function and have an E type core configuration.

Step Up Transformers:
Step up transformers are commonly used in applications such as power transforming and modification, due to their ability to convert lower voltages to higher voltages while reducing amperage and the effects of resistance in the process. The voltage conversion entails electrical energy traveling through two phases of coils, with the second coil phase having a greater amount of winding, defined as a complete coil assembly. Some applications require only a single coil winding, and others even require a tertiary set of windings. However, electric transformers require two to complete the conversion process. These two sets of coil windings feature a core being made from either a ferrite compound or a laminated core wound with enameled coils or uncovered copper. The coil windings of step up transformers are typically constructed from aluminum, nickel, chromium, steel alloys, and copper, the latter of which is the most expensive yet is the most energy efficient.

Energy monitors are used with smart meters to show how much gas and electricity you use around your property. While simply having a device won't save you money, experts have shared how using the information on the display can help you "cut down" usage and lower your energy bills.

Energy monitors may only be small tabletop devices, but they can have a big impact on your spending habits. Experts estimate that using a smart meter monitor correctly can reduce the average household's usage by as much as 15 percent in just one year by following a few simple steps. The team at AskGamblers.com have shared the best type of energy monitor for your home and how to use it to maximise your savings.

Properties that use a smart meter will also have either a whole-house energy monitor or an online equivalent. While handheld devices make it easy to track your real-time energy usage at home, online monitors are accessible at all times using a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Both display your daily unit usage and equivalent cost and can be used to determine when you're spending the most money on energy.

An expert at AskGamblers.com said: "While the device doesn't directly save you money, it makes you aware of your usage allowing you to cut down - and in the first year of using this gadget, your usage could drop between 5-15 percent."

With the average household energy bill now 27 percent higher than in September 2022, there's no better time to rethink how you use your energy display monitor.

According to the team at AskGamblers.com, finding the best style of monitor for your home is crucial to maximising savings.

They said: "When comparing energy monitors, it's best to look for one that offers wireless connectivity to move it around your home in addition to the option to view your daily, weekly, and monthly usage in the past. “However, don't fall into the trap of choosing a tariff based on the benefit of a free monitor."

To help decarbonise the energy sector by promoting renewable energy, the government has brought the Odisha Renewable Energy Policy, 2022. The policy aims to make industries increase renewable energy production as they have to do so as per the renewable purchase obligation (RPO) trajectory fixed by the Centre by 2030. The industries and power distribution companies (discoms) will have to achieve 43 percent RPO by 2030.

To make it happen, the policy encourages huge incentives for industrial houses. During the policy period (2022- 2030), the industries will be offered incentives such as exemption of 50 paisa per unit on consumption of electricity for 20 years, said an official. The policy is a robust one that encompasses many facets of energy transition.

It enables industries and discoms to meet their RPO targets and ensure development of renewable energy projects. It will also help create jobs and promote research and development, said Biswadeep Parida, director, PwC, an international consultancy firm that works with the government. A nodal agency will be selected to implement the project. The nodal agency will create a single window platform for approval of all renewable energy projects in a timebound manner.

Engineering major Larsen and Toubro (L&T) plans to invest up to $2.5 billion (₹20,000 crore) in building its green energy portfolio, a senior company official said.

"We are looking at up to $2.5 billion of investment over the next four years in our green portfolio, depending on how the market evolves," said Subramanian Sarma, senior executive vice-president (energy), L&T. On Saturday, L&T commissioned its first hydrogen generation plant at the Hazira manufacturing facility in Gujarat. The plant will produce 45 kg of green hydrogen daily through an alkaline electrolysis process and use it for captive consumption in the company's local manufacturing complex.

The company has been evaluating prospects in green energy areas including green hydrogen, battery storage and offshore wind, among others, as it seeks to reduce its presence across the fossil fuel space and build new businesses around green energy. "We will be creating assets through our own investments. We will enter into manufacturing of key technological instruments which would be electrolysers, advanced cell batteries, fuel cells, among others," Derek M Shah, head, green manufacturing and development, L&T.

Over the past few months, the company partnered with Indian Oil Corp and ReNew Power to form a joint venture company to develop green hydrogen projects across the country. It has also tied up with the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay to jointly pursue research in the green hydrogen segment. According to L&T's FY22 annual report, the size of the green portfolio of businesses is ₹38,843 crore, which is 38.2% of standalone revenues in FY22 compared to 33.2% in Fy21.

Offshore wind segment Leveraging its offshore expertise, L&T is carving out a part of its hydrocarbon team to focus on the emerging business opportunities in offshore wind farms, which will address renewable energy requirements. "India has been implementing a lot of onshore wind farms but land is an issue. So, there is an opportunity for India to look at offshore wind farms," said Sarma, adding that the company is looking at the Indian as well as the international market.

Electrical safety is a general practice of workers who are exposed to handling and maintaining electrically powered equipment. It is a set of guidelines they follow to mitigate electrical hazards and prevent its dangerous effects in case of an incident. Unable to adhere to electrical safety can lead to accidents, near misses, or even fatalities.

Importance
Working around electricity can be very safe on the job site when workers properly identify and control hazards. But, inadequate training, lack of experience, and failure to recognize potential hazards could result in electric shock or death. The construction industry is most at danger from electrical hazards, accounting for 52% of all electrical fatalities in the US workplace. Most of these incidents and fatalities were caused by direct worker contact with overhead power lines and contact with machines, tools, and hand-carried metallic objects. So how do we protect ourselves against these dangers?

This article provides a closer look at some common electrical hazards in the workplace and how to be safe around them. We also feature a collection of electrical safety checklists which you can use to assess electrical dangers on your worksite.

Who is at Risk?
Engineers, electricians, and overhead line workers are at the top of the list of professionals who are most exposed to electrical hazards. Common tasks that put these workers at risk include electrical installation and repairs, testing of fixtures and equipment, and inspection and maintenance activities. However, people who are indirectly working with electricity like office workers are also exposed to electrical hazards.

Precautions
Electrical safety precautions are specific control measures implemented to remove electrical hazards and mitigate the risks of electrical accidents and injuries. Safety precautions for working with electricity depend on the worker& job instructions and their working environment. However, the most basic electrical safety precautions include clearly understanding how electricity works, identifying and eliminating electrical hazards such as poor cable management and lack of proper housekeeping, and wearing the appropriate PPE.
