Dimmer for Halogen floor lamp

One hertz is one cycle per second, meaning repeating cycle as an event. For example, hertz is applied physics measuring the number of times for a second wave (either acoustic or electromagnetic) is repeated or can be applied, among other uses, to ocean waves that reach the Beach vibrations per second or a solid. The quantity that measures the frequency hertz is called,in this regard, the inverse of the period. One hertz is an oscillation frequency of suffering a particle over a period of one second.

hen we talk about IP code (International Protection) we talk about an international standard (IEC 60529) which classifies the protection against external factors, solid or liquid, that has a component or electronic device; LED strips, controllers, meters, security cameras, etc.

This alpha-numerically standard has been designed to sort different levels of protection. Nomenclature starts with IP followed by two numeric values.

- Example IP68:

The first value ranges from 0 to 6 and indicates the protection against solid agents. In this case, strong protection against dust.

The second value is between 0 and 8 and indicates the protection against liquid agents. In this case the complete and prolonged immersion during the time specified by the manufacturer.

We could say that the larger the number is greater IP protection has a device.

In below table, we can see different IP protections levels available.

IPXX	First digit (IPxx)	Second digit (IPxx)
0	Unprotected.	Unprotected.
1	Protection against objects of> 50 mm diameter.	Protection against vertically dripping water.
2	Protection against objects of> 12.5 mm diameter.	Protection against inclined drip water up to 15°.
3	Protection against objects of> 2 mm in diameter.	Protection against water projected from any direction, up to 60°.
4	Protection against objects of> 1 mm in diameter.	Protection against splashing water any direction.
5	Ingress of dust is not entirely revented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment .	Protection against water jets.
6	Dust tight.	Protection against strong jets of water.
7		Protection against complete immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
8		Protection against complete and prolonged immersion.

VAC would be the abbreviation of Volt Altern Current which would be translated Volts of alternating current. The difference between VDC is that its sinusoidal oscillation achieving a more efficient energy transmission.

The alternating current is the energy that we receive in our homes, it is generated in the power plants by means of alternators.

The intensity of this type of current varies with time, and changes direction 50 times throughsecond (50hz). The generated voltage changes in the form of sine wave so it is not constant.

One of the basic components in most electrical circuits or electrical installations are the fuses, the fuse is a capsule (B) that has metal ferrules (C) on its ends, in which a thin filament of alloy or metal (A) characterized by having a low melting point.
The fuse is placed in a specific point of the installation, and will serve to protect said installation frompossible damage due to electrical overload or voltage.
In their normal state the filaments have continuity at their ends (C, D). This over voltage causes this filament to heat up and break (C.1, C.2), not passing electrical energy and protecting the circuit while minimizing the risk of fire.

We can find all kinds of fuses, according to their amperage, design etc.
Among the most common we can findr:

• Cylindrical fuse glass material. They are usually used in most household appliances, power supplies, etc.
• Fuses for Blade vehicles. They are the fuses that protect the electrical installation of the vehicle, usually they are of the same type and design in most vehicles, according to their amperage they have a specific color.
• Brown = 5 A
• Red = 10 A
• Blue = 15 A
• Yellow= 20 A
• Colorless = 25 A
• Green = 30 A
• Fuses for mini vehicles: It is the same as the previous one but of a smaller size.
• Fuses for Maxi vehicles: It is the same as the previous one but of a larger size.
• Midi Fuses
• Mega Fuses
• Reed fuses
• High voltage or industrial fuses
