The Spark and Magnetism of Electric Coils

Conductive devices called electric coils serve as key connections and transmitters within a myriad of circuits. In the most basic construction, a metal wire is wound around a core insulator, and the two ends are made into electrical connection terminals called “taps.” Without these devices, electrical current would not be able to be controlled, directed or transformed in electronics, automotive, medical, computer, appliance, telecommunications and industrial manufacturing applications. To start a car there is needed the spark that induction coils,...

Making the Most Out Of Your Heating Coils

One of the most important pieces of electric heating systems is the heating coil. They work to transform electricity into heat. Electric coils use electricity as a form of power, rather than fossil fuels or another power source they are one of the most efficient forms of heating available. Usually, the efficiency rating of electric heating coils is between 80 and 100 percent. Some of the additional components of the system can lower the overall efficiency. The following maintenance tasks can be used to maximize the efficiency of your heating coils: Clean...
