If you are contemplating a major remodel, the addition of a room or garage, or a new kitchen you should consider upgrading your electrical service.
Thirty years ago, the average new home was equipped with a 60 amp electrical service connected to a screw-in fuse panel with two fuse blocks. The common distribution was a fuse block for the stove and one for the hot water tank. The balance of the homes electrical needs were served by six, 15amp screw-in fuses.
Twenty years ago the average new home was equipped with a 100 amp electrical service and some of them used the latest in technology, circuit breakers.
In recent years there have been more and more instances of flooding in the UK, the most recent of which in June was estimated to have affected 31,200 homes and 7,000 businesses in the Midlands and Northern England. Whilst many have attributed the increase to climate change there’s no escaping the fact that this once “freak” occurrence has now become more prevalent in certain areas of the country.
Electrical systems vary widely given their different uses. That being said, the basics of wiring something are not that hard to understand.
Wiring is the insulated conductor that carries electricity. The wire that is used in a building such as a home or a factory is called building wire. The wire inside a piece of machinery is usually called equipment wire. Wire is measured by its diameter. This measurement is known as the wire gauge. Wire gauge runs in reverse numerical order. In other words, the higher the gauge number, the smaller the wire diameter.
The electrical conduit is a vital part of any wiring effort. It serves as the outer protection of wires or wire bundles and is measured on a metric scale.
Electrical conduit refers to the tubing that contains electrical cable and wiring. Conduit serves a variety of purpose. It keeps the electrical cable contained and orderly. It protects the cables and provides fire protection where the cables pass through walls. Conduit is also intended to protect wiring from moisture.

In 1831 Michael Faraday found a way to produce what he called “waves of electricity”. His technique using a coil of wire and magnets is still used in power stations today. It was nearly 50 years later that Godalming in Surrey become the first town to have a public electricity supply. The electricity was used to provide light in shops and houses and to light the streets of the town.
The next 50 years saw the introduction of a whole range of electrical appliances into UK homes including the cooker, fridge, washing machine, kettle, vacuum cleaner and television.
An electrical arc is one of the more power packed events you will find. Controlled, it can be very useful. Uncontrolled, the risks of the arc are practically unlimited.
An electrical arc is defined as the jumping of an electrical current through a non-conducting element such as air or gas. When an arc occurs, the resulting voltage is quite high creating a great deal of heat. Controlled arcing is used to cut or melt metals. An arc welder is an example of controlled arcing. A lightening bolt is an example of uncontrolled arcing. The tremendous amount of energy and voltage contained in a lightening bolt illustrates the danger of an arc. An uncontrolled arc can also occur in a home wiring system or within the wiring of an appliance. This situation has a great potential for damage.
