Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Electrical wiring in general refers to insulated conductors used to carry electricity, and associated devices. This article describes general aspects of electrical wiring as used to provide power in buildings and structures, commonly referred to as building wiring. This article is intended to describe common features of electrical wiring that should apply worldwide.

The international standard wire sizes are given in the IEC 60228 standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission. In North America, the American Wire Gauge is used.

Wiring safety codes are intended to protect people and buildings from electrical shock and fire hazards. Regulations may be established by city, county, provincial/state or national legislation, sometimes by adopting in amended form a model code produced by a technical standards-setting organization, or by a national standard electrical code.

Electrical codes arose in the 1880s with the commercial introduction of electrical power. Many conflicting standards existed for the selection of wire sizes and other design rules for electrical installations.

These are guidelines that should be applied upon installation. Such codes s... (read more)

Concrete in ground residential swimming pools are most popular because it offers variety in pool design. The construction of a concrete in ground pool is fairly involved. A hole is dug, and a grid of rebar is placed along the floor and walls of the residential pool. Then the plumbing and electrical outlets are put in. All electric wiring must be grounded and placed away from the pool water. At this point a concrete gun is brought in and copings are installed. The concrete must sit for a week to make it harder fully. Then the pool surface must be finished usually in plaster. Ceramic tile is oft... (read more)

Did you know that each year, there are 67,800 electrical fires in the home that take the lives of 485 Americans, hurt 2,305 more people, and cause $868 million dollars in property loss*? Some electrical fires are caused by lightning and defects in appliances, but usually a lot more are caused by poorly installed wiring, poor use of extension cords, and overloaded circuits. In fact, non-code wiring (perhaps done by do-it-your-selfers) causes twice as many fires as electrical appliances.
