Electrical Equipment

Modern buildings, commercial spaces, and even homes increasingly implement advanced building automation and control technology to improve energy efficiency, user comfort, and extend the life cycles of equipment. Building Automation Basics At the core of any building automation system, or BAS, remains a central computing hub. This is where software processes the variety of signals it receives from connected sensors, switches, and user inputs. In a typical home, a Wi-Fi network connects devices wirelessly. Further, it will often connect them to the internet, allowing remote access from any web-connected device. In a commercial setting, more advanced industry-standard communication protocols, such

Tired of dim light in your garage, hallway, office, or kitchen? Follow these steps to easily upgrade a common roof-mounted light fixture to a bright and efficient fluorescent light fixture. Step One: Isolate the Circuit However tempting it may be to simply turn off the light switch while working on the light, always disconnect power at the breaker. Also, if you do not own a voltmeter or multi-meter, you really should. As soon as you open a fixture or junction box, you are taking your own life into your hands. Always assume every wire is live, and double check with

Technically, electrical wire contains a single electrical conductor while cable features a group of conductors protected inside an enclosed jacket. While shopping for electrical supplies for your projects, choose the right wire depending on its application. One type of wire may be suitable to power a new range, while running electricity to your garage requires additional tools and wiring. Knowing a couple of factors helps to figure out the type of electrical wire or cable you need. Safety remains a top priority so buying a better grade of wire or cable seems prudent. Components must safely power up the panel box and
