Before addressing those requirements, let's review the basic concept of overcurrent protection. When current exceeds the rating of conductors or equipment — due to overload, short circuit, or ground ...

Note: This article is based on the 2011 NEC. Overcurrent exists when current exceeds the rating of equipment or the ampacity of a conductor. This can be due to an overload, short circuit, or ground ...

Electricians know these electrical terms and you should too, especially if you plan to save money by doing basic electrical work yourself. Electricity can seem mystifying, complicated and ...

An electrical circuit doesn't need a switch to work but it comes in handy for shutting things off. Let's take a closer look at electrical circuits. Let's start with a basic definition of electricity.
