Electrical Principles and Wiring Materials Unit #31

Principles of Electricity Electricity is a form of energy that can produce light, heat, magnetism, chemical changes Resistance: tendency of a material to prevent electrical flow Conductor: if electricity flows easily Insulator: material that provides great resistance

Amps, Volts, Watts Amperes: measure of the rate of flow of electricity in a conductor Volts: measure of electrical pressure Watts: measure of the amount of energy or work that can be done Ohms: measure of electrical resistance to flow

Ohm’s Law Ohm = R Volts = E Amps = I Ohm’s Law: E = IR I=E/R R=E/I

Electrical Safety Shock and Fire Never disconnect any safety device Don’t touch electrical items with wet hands or feet Don’t remove ground plug prong Use GFI in wet areas Discontinue use of extension cord that feels warm Don’t put extension cords under carpet

Electrical Safety Install wiring according to NEC Blown fuse or breaker, determine cause Don’t replace fuse with larger fuse Don’t leave heat producing appliances unattended Heaters & lamps away from combustibles Don’t remove back of TV (30,000v when off) Electric motors lubricated, free of grease etc.

Electrical Safety Keep appliances dry Don’t use damaged switches, outlets, fixtures, extension cords Follow manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use of electrical equipment

Service Entrance Power from from power company Transformer: drops volts from 25,000 volts to 240 volts Service drop: wires etc from transformer to house Entrance head: weather-proof at house Meter: $$$ Service Entrance Panel (SEP): box with fuses or breakers

Electric Meter Kilowatthours: how electricity is sold Kilo = 1000 Watthour = use of 1 watt for one hour 100 watt light bulb for 1 hour - 100 watthours Kilowatthour = 1000 watts for one hour

Branch Circuits usually begin at SEP branch out into a variety of places only 1 motor or; series of outlets or; series of lights use correct size wire and fuse or breaker

Types of Cable Nonmetallic sheathed cable: copper or alluminum wire covered with paper, rubber, or vinyl for insulation Armored cable: flexible metal sheath with individual wires inside. Wires are insulated Conduit: tubing with individually insulated wires

Wire Type and Size copper No 14 (14 gauge) = 15 amp circuits No 12 = 20 amps No 10 = 30 amps aluminum use one size larger lower gauge number = larger wire No 8 and larger use bundles of wires current travels on outer surface of wire, so a bundle of smaller wires can carry more

Voltage Drop loss of voltage as it travels along a wire lights dim, motors overheat larger wires have less voltage drop for a given amount of current longer wire = greater problem must increase wire size as distance increases

Wire Identification Type of outer covering, individual wire covering, cable construction, number of wires Wire type stamped on outer surface

Wire Types Type T - dry locations Type TW - dry or wet THHN - dry, high temps THW and THWN - wet, high temps XHHW - high moisture & heat resistance UF - direct burial in soil but not concrete

Wire Identification Color coded: black, red, & blue = positive or hot wires which carry current to appliances White = neutral wires carry current from appliance back to source Green or Bare = ground all metal boxes and appliances

Wire Identification Wire Size: 12-2 has two strands of No. 12 wire (black & white) 12-2 w/g same, with one green or bare 12-3 has three strands of No. 12 (black, red, white) 12-3 w/g same, with green or bare
