Ways of Lighting the Home during Festivals

During festival season we always want to lighten and brighten up the home with so  many decorative lights, Diyas, and various other means. There are following ways of lighting the homes;-

1. Take strip of LED lights which are available in various forms such as LED strip and LED lights. In LED strip there is strip with LED lights installed over there earlier these strips were mostly installed in tubes and these are well known as LED tube strip lights and were purchased considering longer life of lights but earlier the whole strip was coming up with same colour and with one mode only but now days multi-colour strips are available in the market with various modes are available in the market. So you can buy these strips and you can install these strips in any area. These lights will given the dynamic looks to your home. These LED strips looks like as below:-
You can see that these are now also available with remote control and Wifi Control.

2. LED Lights with multiple small LED bulbs are also available in the market these lights are came up with multi-colours and multiple designs. These lights length may be upto 100 meters which everyone can buy according to their needs. It is quite easy to install long length LED lights than different length LED lights and also have longer life and doesn't requires multiple connectors for LED lights installation.


These all lights are quite easy to install. You can hand them directly from Balcony or from roof of building and these are waterproof LED lights. For connecting multiple LED strips and LED lights to one power source power strip is used for connecting the same. Which are not very much expensive. These are available in range of 50-100 Rs. per strip.

Ceiling fan wiring and changing the direction of Ceiling fan

 In every household ceiling fans are integral part and connections of ceiling fan are quite simple. In this article we will learn about how to do wiring in ceiling fan and how to change the direction of ceiling fan:-

Wiring of ceiling fan:-

Usually all house holds and in offices single phase ceiling fans are used and these fans are having long life and are very robust in structure. Wiring diagram of ceiling fans is as below:-






Usually we install regulator for controlling the speed of fans. In ceiling fans Induction motors are used and Since these motors consume fraction of KW during its operation these are known as fractional KW motors. These motors converts electrical power into mechanical power.


In ceiling fans there are capacitor for providing the starting torque to ceiling fans. 

There is always misconception among people that when we reduce the speed of ceiling fans, fans will consume lower power but regulator is a resistance across which remaining power will dissipate when we reduce the speed of fan. Thus fan circuitry will consume same power irrespective of speed of fan motor.

How to change the direction of fan:-

Usually all fans gives air below ceiling i.e. downwards but sometimes problem occurred that fan started rotating in opposite direction in that case a switch is provided on the fan which can change the direction of rotation of fan. 

Usually people think that in summers they required flow air downwards for providing cooling purposes and in winter they required to change the direction of flow of air i.e. towards the roof of room for providing heating but in both cases the ultimately cool air will come down as after hitting the roof air flow will came downwards with lower intensity.

Alok Industries Limited

 Alok Industries has been in recent past as it has been taken over by Reliance Industries Promoter Mukesh Ambani. Share price has been increased after acquisition from Rs. 3.80 per share to Rs. 58.50 per share. This share is now trading at  Rs. 20.50 per share. There is so much movement in this share. Lets talk about this company. 

This company is a Mumbai based textile company. This company was founded in Year 1986 by Surendra Jiwrajka. 

Alok Industries has been acquired recently by JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Co. Ltd. and Reliance Industries Ltd. They have given Rs. 5000 crores against loan of Rs. 30000 crores in NCLT process. The main reason behind downfall of the company is due to undue expansion by raising debt.

All this started during period of 2004-2013 when company started expansion by taking loan of Rs. 10000 Crores in field of textiles which includes spinning , weaving , garments units and processing. But companies doesn't pickup as expected and company both domestic and exports declined which leads to company started working in real estate space. Which results into further weakening of balance sheet and which leads to ultimately bankruptcy of company.

Apart from expansions in textile they wanted to do new business i.e. by opening stores under brand name as H&A. They also expanded the same into UK under brand name as Store Twenty one. When company was expanding at full potential than they have approx. 350 retail outlets in India and approx. 220 stores in UK.

Then came the entry of Reliance Industries which is known for turnaround of sick units and turning a junk into gold. Soon after takeover of Alok Industries they started manufacturing PPE kits and Masks in Alok Industries units. Now Share of this company is trading around Rs. 22 per share. But since this company is now taken over by big giant fortune of Alok Industries will turnaround and company will do well in future.

Financial Freedom, Financially Free

 

Financial Freedom:-

It’s an interesting word in today’s life as people are now want to be financial free but fails quiet often as we are not disciplined in our life in terms of savings and investments. Financially free means that we are getting more than our expenses and loan payment and even save 10-20% after all expenses from our savings and investments. It sounds to be very good but very hard to achieve as people keep on looking for more and more and even on increasing expenses day and day and improving life style.

There are some tips for getting you to be financial free while reaching in 40-45 years of age:-

(i)                  Savings and Investing:-Always make a habit of savings, while you are young you will join any company after graduation or higher education between 24-26 years of age so upto 28- 30 years of age you are not going to get married so you have 4 years for saving more than 50% considering very lower expanses while you are bachelor. Now make a habit for investing all that amount in Mutual funds using SIP as Mutual funds will give you return which no other instrument such as Fixed deposit, ULIP plan et. will give, Since you are unmarried you will take more risk so go for mutual funds until you reach 35 years of age.



(ii)                Don’t over spend:-

Always spend within your limits never follow others which spend more. Don’t take any personal loan or any debt for spending. Whenever you borrow money for any unfruitful work that will only add to your financial burden infact this will complicate your life and goal of life. Usually people at young age has tendency to buy high end bikes and cars by taking huge loans which over the period of time eat out your all the earned money leaving no room for investments.

(iii)             Try to invest in property:-

Best investment will be of your life will be property buy some good property at some good price at good location with the help of elders or good property dealers. Property apart from appreciation will save your rent and even give you rent when you are living with parents this will leads to addition to your monthly investments.

(iv)              Never ever expect higher returns on your investments:-

Never expect the unexpected returns from your investments good investments will give you 12-18% annual returns. If any investment tool offers you higher return never ever invest such returns it will be trap.

(v)                Don’t invest higher amount on non-returnable assets:-

Don’t invest higher amounts on those items which over the period get depreciated such as Cars, bikes, High end LEDs etc. Buy them for as per your needs. This will you will realize over the period of time.

When you become financially free than buy items which you required to fulfill your dreams from additional money you get after all expenses. You will enjoy your life for rest part of life.

 

 

Single Phase to Three Phase conversion

 

In agriculture space there is often requirement of 3 Phase load in order to run their borewells and other equipment related to agriculture. But there is quite often 1 Phase Supply available for their use. Single phase motors are unable to meet their requirement and further taking 3 Phase load from Power Company is quite expensive. So what they do is they convert this single phase power supply to 3-phase supply by their own means, although it’s not allowed by they are doing by their own means.

Now question arises how to convert this single phase power supply to 3-Phase power supply.  One of  most acceptable method is by using Static or rotary Phase converters. Now these converters are very easily available in the market and you can buy them and install in single phase supply and get the 3-Phase output.

Rotary Phase Converter:-

Principle of Operation:- When we start the three phase motor using single phase than once that motor starts rotating than it will continue to rotate and generate third leg of power for three phase applications, Rotary phase converter works on that principle.

An Induction motor i.e. single voltage three phase induction motor have three windings and each winding is connected at its end terminals naming T1, T2 and T3. When we start the three phase motor using single phase supply than we will run the motor initially by using some means than it will keep on rotating at 2/3rd HP of single phase power applied to single winding.

By doing so three phase induction motor which is running under single phase power supply (which is applied at terminals T1 and T2) will generate voltage at T3 with respect to T1 and T2. By doing so what we will get is phase difference of 120 degree between          T1 and T3, T2 and T3 with respect to applied voltage. Thus we will get three phases.

Applications:-

These generate true three phase power. Unlike Static phase converters which provide power during starting of motors these generate three phase power during continue running of machines. 

Further Rotary phase converters are used for high power applications and can function for more than one piece of equipment at a time. These can handle complex load applications.

These are used for following types of loads:-

(i)                  Pumping systems

(ii)                Hydraulics

 

Rotary phase converters are very efficient in terms of providing balanced power.

Static Phase Converters:-

These types of converters will start your load at 3 phase and then switch back to single phase. This will be done by disconnecting the circuit after startup which will further limit the load to 2/3rd of rated capacity. These type of converter are used in application requiring high torque during startup and but not required during running applications. These are most widely used in applications as below:-

(i)                  Drill presses

(ii)                Table Saws

(iii)               Milling Machines
