Old V New
We moved the panel location due to the original being in an illegal location over the sump pump and got everything into one panel. We also cleaned up the wires a little bit going into the panels, and bonded the system correctly one to the water pipe, another to the gas pipe, and we created a new path to ground with a new GEC to 2 ground rods outside. We ended up removing the old receptacle that served the sump pump, adding a single receptacle and a GFCI within 3ft of the single receptacle to meet code with powering a sump pump.

FUN FACT FRIDAY!
Today’s fact is on grounding electrodes. The definition of grounding electrode is: a conducting object through which a direct connection to earth is established. The purpose of a grounding electrode system is to establish a low resistance path to earth. Some electrodes include metal underground water pipe, structural steal, concrete rebar that’s in contact with the earth for at least 20ft, and ground rods. The purpose is to have a low resistance path for over voltages to dissipate too. If a lightning strike or a voltage surge happens at your house and you don’t have an electrode present it could potentially cause failure of electrical equipment such as tv’s, radios, and any sensitive electronics. When an electrode is present in that case the over voltages would be directed to the earth grounding electrode opposed to the electronics in your home. If you or someone you know doesn’t have one of these electrodes installed, make sure to have us come and install one to protect your home!

It’s that time of year☀️ the weather is getting warmer. If you don’t have an A/C and plan to get one installed we can run power to it for you! If you plan on putting a window unit in, make sure to use a circuit that can handle the load of the window A/C unit. If you have a window A/C unit that trips your breaker I would recommend adding a dedicated circuit for your window A/C, we offer that service as well!

FUN FACT FRIDAY!
As promised on a previous post, we are going to cover what a hot, neutral, and ground wire are. What is a hot wire? The hot wire provides current from the power source in most homes cases the breaker panel, to a device or multiple devices in a branch circuit. The hot wire can be identified by being just about any color EXCEPT white, gray, green, green with a yellow stripe, or bare. What is a neutral? The neutral is the wire that completes the circuit it provides a path for the current to return to the power source from devices using the current. The neutral conductor can be identified by being a white or gray wire depending on the voltage of the circuit. Lastly what is a ground wire? It is an extra safety feature that provides a low resistance path to earth in the case of a ground fault, so if an exposed metal part such as a metal junction box gets energized that ground wire will in turn cause the circuit to trip and de-energize the whole circuit and ultimately the metal box. A ground wire can be identified by being green, green with a yellow stripe, or in most homes bare.

Here is a crowded panel cleanup we did for a customer this week! Along with this we added a new weather resistant GFCI outside and some new battery operated smoke/CO detectors.

FUN FACT FRIDAY!
Today we’ll be talking about GFCI’s, what they are, and where they’re required.
What does a GFCI do? This device quickly trips when it detects a ground fault which is an unintended path of current flow. Per NEC 210.8(A) GFCI’s are required in bathrooms, garages, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished areas of basement, kitchens, within 6ft of the top edge of the sink(except in kitchens per SPS 316.210(1)(a), and boathouses. A GFCI is a device used and required in these areas for safety reasons, if any of these areas do not have a GFCI device I recommend having them installed in these locations.

FUN FACT FRIDAY!
This week we’ll be covering receptacles. Pictured here are a single 15amp a single 20amp receptacles and a 15amp duplex receptacle. How do you tell if it’s a 15 or 20amp receptacle? The receptacle with the horizontal notch is a 20 amp receptacle, its purpose is to handle 20 ampere loads. The receptacles with just straight inserts are 15amp receptacles and made to handle maximum 15amp loads. Now that we know that let’s talk about what each insert is. You’ll notice one is shorter than the other, and one is round with a flat bottom. The short straight insert is the hot side, the longer straight insert is the neutral side, and the round with a flat bottom is the ground insert (I’ll cover what hot, neutral and ground are on a future post). Per NEC 406.12 requires tamper resistant receptacles in dwellings for the purpose of safety. Tamper resistant receptacles avoid children putting things into these receptacles by having a shutter blocking the insert unless hit simultaneously on the hot and neutral inserts. If you or someone you know doesn’t have tamper resistant receptacles and would like them installed reach out for a quote today!

FUN FACT FRIDAY!
Today’s fun fact is about outlets. Most of everyone uses the term “outlet” to describe there wall receptacle outlets (the ones you plug into) but the word outlet in the National Electric Code has a broader definition. Anywhere you use current to supply utilization equipment is an outlet. So your lights or the boxes you connect your light fixtures too are lighting outlets. So all receptacles are outlets, but not all outlets are receptacles. I have pictured below and example of a receptacle, a lighting outlet, and the definitions for each straight from the NEC.

I am going to start a weekly fun fact post about things not many people who aren’t electricians know about electricity or the electrical industry. Here is our first fun fact: The NEC or national electric codes first edition was published in 1897, to help set safety standards to reduce electrical caused fires. A new updated NEC comes out every three years, the newest one is 2023 edition. In Wisconsin we adopt such codes so our electricians have standards to follow. Wisconsin does take and edit the NEC slightly to conform to our state by implementing SPS 316. Right now Wisconsin has the 2017 edition of the NEC adopted and published edits of that code using SPS 316. So all electrical installations in Wisconsin should be following the 2017 NEC and the SPS 316. All electrical work should be getting permitted and inspected by your local municipality to ensure correct and safe practices.
