3 Phase vs. Single Phase Power

 

Single Phase power is a two wire Alternating Current (AC) power circuit. 

Electrical Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a systematic search for the source of a problem in order to resolve it.

Electrical Code Compliance

The National Electrical Code establishes requirements for electrical wiring and equipment. Electrical codes provide standards to ensure electrical wiring systems are safe.

The Electrical Transformer

An electrical transformer is an electro-magnetic device that works by converting electrical energy from one value to another.

Electrical Wire Gauge

Wire gauge is a measurement of wire diameter. This determines the amount of electric current a wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight.

Residential and Commercial Electrical Circuits

Electricity is a flow of electrons. A complete circuit is needed for electricity to flow. From the main electric service panel, electricity is divided into circuits throughout a building.

Low Voltage Wiring

Low voltage wiring is the wiring for audio, video, telephones, alarm systems, HVAC, and generally any wiring for things using less than 24 volts.

Circuit Breaker Failure

A circuit breaker’s job is to limit the amount of current flowing on a circuit so that it doesn’t exceed the rated level. The most common cause of circuit breaker failure is continually overloading it, causing it to trip out or open the circuit.
