Understanding Home Electrical Wiring

Electricity enters your home through a service head from a series of outdoor power lines or an underground connection. A typical service head consists of two 120-volt wires and one neutral wire that supply power to lights and appliances in your home.

The 120-volt circuits use one phase of the electrical service to power standard home appliances. Larger appliances like water heaters and clothes dryers require a 240-volt circuit, which is created using both 120-volt wires and the neutral wire.

The electrical service panel is the central distribution point for delivering electricity to switches, outlets, and appliances throughout your house. The service panel is equipped with breakers or fuses that shut off power to the circuits if an electrical system failure occurs.

Common Terms to Know

• Volts: Electromotive force or potential difference is expressed in volts (V).
• Watt: A watt is a unit of power. One watt is defined as the energy consumption rate of one joule per second. It&#;s also defined as the current flow of one ampere with a voltage of one volt.
• kW: A kilowatt is watts.
• kWH: A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy equal to kilojoules. One kWH equals one hour of electricity usage at a rate of 1 kW. A 2 kWH appliance would consume 2 kWH in one hour or 1 kWH in half an hour.
• MCB: A miniature circuit breaker automatically switches off an electrical circuit during abnormal conditions or overload of the network. Today, MCBs are used in low-voltage electrical networks instead of fuses.

Types of Electrical Connectors Offered by Electrical Basics

Our selection features the following types of electrical connectors.  

Screw-on Wire Connectors: These wire connectors are basically twist-on connectors, which feature wing-like extensions for easy installation using a nut driver or any other specialized tool. We provide standard, high-temperature, and

Winged Wire Connectors: These connectors feature a winged outer body, which assures better grip to electricians working with them. The outer body also offers leverage while twisting the wires on the connectors.

Push-in Wire Connectors: These connectors are better alternatives to wire twisting and help reduce motion fatigue caused due to repetitive wire twisting. These connectors are used in applications where multiple connections may be required. The connector&#;s clear visual outer shell offers better visibility of internal connections. In short, this outer shell helps identify loose connections or other faults.

Nylon Pigtail Connectors: These are

These wire connectorsare basically twist-on connectors, which feature wing-like extensions for easy installation using a nut driver or any other specialized tool. We provide standard, high-temperature, and economy screw-on wire connectors . These connectors are not recommended for outdoor and underground applications and can be easily used with solid or stranded wires.These connectors feature a winged outer body, which assures better grip to electricians working with them. The outer body also offers leverage while twisting the wires on the connectors. Our winged wire connectors are usually considered for projects, which require a large number of connections.These connectors are better alternatives to wire twisting and help reduce motion fatigue caused due to repetitive wire twisting. These connectors are used in applications where multiple connections may be required. The connector&#;s clear visual outer shell offers better visibility of internal connections. In short, this outer shell helps identify loose connections or other faults. Color-coded push-in wire connectors offered by us are ideal for new construction, new installation, remodeling, as well as other OEM and DIY applications.These are closed-end and crimp-on wire connectors , which are used to secure electrical connections in electrical boxes. We recommend these electrical wire connectors for applications where wires may be subjected to vibrations. Wires are connected before installing the pigtail on them.
