Title: Power Quality and Why it Matters


1
Updating Your Home's Electrical System
  • A number of options exist when selecting a
    generator and unlike many products, there are few
    easily recognizable brand names to choose from.

2
  • The electrical current drawn by the arc is very
    small which prevents the breaker in an electrical
    panel from tripping. However, the temperature
    generated in this process might reach several
    thousands degrees.Now imagine that you're driving
    a nail into the wall, which accidentally
    penetrates an electrical conduit / wires, and
    causes an arc. If your house is wired with a
    flexible type conduit (wires are not inside the
    metal pipe), this small arc might be just the
    beginning of a big fire... unless this wire
    begins with a AFCI breaker.

  • AFCI protection requirement for some of the
    circuits in you house has been in place since
    January 1, 2002. AFCI circuit breaker looks very
    similar to the GFCI breaker but serves completely
    different purpose.AFCI breakers protect our
    houses against the electrical fire hazard, while
    GFCI breakers protect people against electrical
    shocks.Arc fault happens when the electrical
    current jumps from one conductor to another. You
    might have noticed a small lightning (contact
    arcing) inside the light switch when flipping it.
    That's when the electrical current performs the
    jump, thankfully it happens inside the switch
    which has been designed for such events, and we
    can call it a controlled arc.

  • We take our home appliances for granted.
    Electricity Freedom System Knowing the basics of
    electrical safety is very beneficial much more
    than most people could realize. Electricity is a
    vital component in our modern world.In every
    corner and in every nook how could we do our work
    and even gets through our day without all of
    these modern electrical "slaves". Whether it is a
    washing machine quietly cleaning our clothes, our
    water heater at the lake cottage or a simple hair
    dryer - how could we live in 2010 without all of
    these "mod cons"?http//electricityfreedomsystemre

    we tend to forget the dangers that it encompasses
    when not done rightfully.
