Types of Wiring
There are various types of electrical wiring used in installations, including:
Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable (NM Cable): Commonly used for residential wiring.
Armored Cable (AC): Provides extra protection and is suitable for industrial applications.
Conduit Wiring: Involves enclosing wires in a metal or plastic conduit for added safety.
Twisted Pair Cable: Used for data and communication systems.
Circuit Breakers:
Circuit breakers are critical components in electrical installations. They protect circuits from overloads and faults by interrupting the flow of electricity when needed. Common types include:
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs): Typically used in residential settings.
Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs): Suitable for larger commercial and industrial applications.
Safety Measures:
Safety is paramount in electrical installations. Some essential safety measures include:
Proper Grounding: Ensuring a path for electrical faults to safely dissipate.
GFCI Outlets: Installing Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets in areas prone to moisture.
Electrical Insulation: Using appropriate insulation materials to prevent electrical leakage.
Regular Maintenance: Conducting routine inspections and maintenance to identify and address potential issues.
