Sunlight Electrical Contractors can plan the layout of wiring system for any of your new projects!

The electrical wiring system of a house or business is a series of pathways called a circuit.

Electrical current from the power grid flows into a house or business through a wiring system, splitting up into numerous pathways that connect to all areas of the house or business. Like the flow of a river, electric current never passes the same point twice.

Electric Meter

A wiring system has a first point of entry when the power is connected to your home or business enters through an electric meter. The electric meter does exactly what its name implies: It meters the net amount of electricity you use. These meter readings are the basis for the usage figures on your electricity bill. The meter itself is almost always property of the electric authority.

Switch Board

Your wiring system then needs to pass through a switch board which should contain some circuit breakers to interupt the flow of electricity if there is any over load.

A bus bar is a thick electrical conductor, like a wire except with much more capacity and no insulation. The hot bus bars supply power to the individual circuits, each one protected by its own circuit breaker. Old service panels may use fuses instead of circuit breakers.

If you have a wiring system like this you should look at upgrading to provide greater security and protection for your family or staff. Contact Sunlight Electrical today to get a Obligation Free Quote

Individual Circuits

Each individual circuit begins in the service panel, with a circuit breaker. From there the current flows along an electric cable, typically running behind the walls and above the ceiling, to serve a specific area of the house.

This cable consists of at least one hot wire–sometimes more–as well as one neutral and usually one ground wire. This is the most common wiring system.

Usage Outlets

Usage points consist of electrical outlets, wall switches and integrated devices, such as ceiling lights. All usage points connect to one of the house’s individual electrical circuits.

They must be wired correctly to work properly and reduce safety risks.

Specifically, hot wires must match up with hot connections, neutral wires with neutral connections and ground wires with ground connections. In addition, all physical connections must be solid, protected from accidental human touch and clear of any flammable materials.
