This is the second part of a two-part series on the methodologies used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. The first part, Short Circuit Current Duties of Circuit ...

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers contain two different switching mechanisms, a bimetal switch and an electromagnet. The bimetal serves as a means of handling overcurrents. The bimetal typically sits ...

One of the standard things home inspectors look at while inspecting an electrical panel is comparing wire sizes to circuit breakers sizes. When a wire is too small for a circuit breaker, you have a ...

Nobody looks forward to a power outage. After all, we rely on electricity to power appliances. And when there is a blackout, the situation can move from a minor to a stressful one quite easily. That ...
