Residential Electrical

Electrical circuits within residential electrical settings are classified into two types, series circuits and parallel circuits. In series circuits or loads elements are connected to each other so that the stream exiting from the source flows through each element being the same current for all items or loads (Richter, Summers & Hartwell 2005). Therefore, if the circuit is interrupted at some point or some of the loads are opened for any reason, it is necessary to stop the current move to manage the work load. In series circuits, the circuit current and voltage are dependent on the resistance of the circuit, and the total resistance of the circuit would be equal to the sum of the resistances of all loads.

Duplex Outlets

Electrical outlets should be spaced throughout the residence: the recommendation is 110 duplex outlets every 10 feet or available wall. Locate wall- mounted electrical outlets in the kick space, not in the shelving or bedrooms. Install floor outlets in instructional, listening, and viewing areas of the study room or lounge (Mullin 2005). Locate 110v dedicated surge suppressed circuit isolation transformer/voltage regulators at the dining table and around cupboards. The concept of the facilities is the set of elements necessary to transform electricity. They are classified according to the voltage, ie, high voltage (85 to 400 kv), extra high voltage (400 kv), medium voltage (more than 69 kv), and low voltage (less than 69 kv)

Conductors and Hardware

The elements of electrical installation include electric conductors, electrical conduits, and protective accessories. In addition, the electrical systems of a residence can be calculated for various types of loads: lighting, motors, communications, electrical equipment, etc., with loadings varying upon the specific needs of the installation. The building codes specify the minimum wattage per unit floor area, according to the diversion uses that ...
