# Basics of Electrical Engineering

Learn the basics of Electrical Engineering.

It is defined as the average of all loads that occur on a power station for a given period of time.

Average load (AL) = No of units generated/time Interval (in hours)

List of 100 Basic Electrical Engineering formulas

Based on time interval AL can be categorized into three classes:

• Daily Average load = Units generated in a day / 24 hours
• Monthly average load = Units generated in a month / Number of hours in a month
• Yearly average = Units generated in year / Number of hours in a year

### Example

Statement: Find the monthly average load of a nuclear power station which generates 5000 MW of power.

Solution:
MAL = 5000 MW / 720 = (5000 * 1000 kWh) / 720 h = 6944 kW

The AL for the above problem is 6944 kW

Tips:
• Since industrial power is measured in kW, convert MW to kW
• The time interval for both numerator and denominator should be same. In most cases, it counts in an hour (h)
So that was all on the topic. Summarizing above discussions we have three formulas:
