2 458. i i ::1 SECTON 11 Electricity and Electronics knowledge of electrical principles and wiring materials is important. The rules for the proper and safe installation of electrical devices and circuits given in the current National Electrical Code must be strictly observed at all times. Cable and conduit are run through the floors, ceilings, and partitions of new buildings during construction. Such installations are called new work. Electrical codes may permit wiring to be placed in view in old work installations. This is due to the difficulty of concealing wires after a building is completed. n surface installations, however, the wiring must be protected from mechanical damage. Utility buildings and other farm structures generally do not have finished interior walls. Such structures are relatively easy to wire at any time. However, the National Electrical Code contains special requirements for such wiring. A THE ENTRANCE r,r j J ii! i...! PANEL Electricity enters a building by way of an entrance panel (also known as a load center), figure As discussed in Unit 32, large cables bring electricity from the transformer to the entrance panel. f the cables come in underground, they are attached to the meter base, which is then connected by cables to the entrance panel. Overhead cables attach to cables that run through the entrance head. Entrance panels come in different sizes depending on the amount of current that will be distributed from the panel. The panel consists of large main breakers where all electricity to the building can be cut off, metal bars for attaching the breakers, and grounded strips. The large entrance cables from the meter usually attach at the top of the panel. Two hot wires bring in 120 volts each. Combined they can create a 240-volt circuit. The grounding bars are attached to a metal rod that is driven deep into the ground to ground the circuit. As each new circuit is attached to the entrance panel, a circuit breaker is attached to the bars that are connected to the entrance hot wires. A black and/or red wire is attached to the circuit breaker. The neutral wire (white) is attached to the neutral grounding bar and the bare or green wire is attached to the equipment grounding bar. These bars are then attached to the metal grounding rod that is driven into the ground. This provides power for various branch circuits throughout the building. WRNG BOXES All wiring systems require the use of fuses or circuit breakers and protected wires and boxes. The boxes are Figure 33-1 A typical service entrance panel. metal or plastic, figure Boxes have several important functions: g They hold the cable or conduit so stress cannot be placed on the wire connections. They are nailed, screwed, or clamped to the building to support switches, outlets, or fixtures. A fixture is a base or housing for light bulbs, fan motors, and other electrical devices. They contain all electrical connections made outside of fixtures. They prevent mice or other vermin from nesting around electrical connections. Electrical boxes are available in rectangular or octagonal shapes and in various depths. Some switch and outlet boxes have removable sides so the boxes can be installed in gangs (series). Such boxes will hold multiple switches or outlets. Large steel boxes are used for service entrances. They contain the main fuses or circuit breakers. They also contain fuses or circuit breakers for one or more branch circuits.
3 UNT 33 nstalling Branch Circuits 459 SCREW TERMNAL GROUNDNG WRE Figure 33-2 All wiring systems require the use of boxes. Certain basic rules apply to the wiring of all boxes. The National Electrical Code and local building codes must be checked for specific regulations. Some basic requirements follow:! The box must be fastened securely to the building. 1\1 The cable or conduit must be clamped securely to the box. Cables running from box to box must run through the interior of the building's walls, floors, and ceilings, be secured by staples or clamps near each box, and secured as needed to prevent the cable from being accidentally caught and pulled. The box must be grounded if it is metal. The ground wire from the cable is attached to the box by a screw or by a grounding clip, figure Wires in boxes must be connected to each other by insulated solderless connectors called wire nuts. Bare areas are not permitted on wires except ground wires. r Ground wires must be held together by a special metal clamp or a solderless connector. Wires must be attached to terminals of switches and receptacles by tightening no more than one wire under one screw or spring-clamp. A receptacle is a device for receiving electric plugs. A switch is a device used to stop the flow of electricity. f the receptacle or switch is equipped with special clamps, one wire may be inserted into each clamp provided. GROUNDNG Figure 33 3 Ground wires are attached to metal boxes by a screw or grounding Clip. CLP li Positive or hot wires (black, red, or blue) must always be attached to brass-colored screws. Neutral wires (white) must always be attached to aluminum-colored screws. Ground wires (bare or green) are attached to green screws. 11When a white wire must be used as a positive wire (such as in a light switch), the insulation showing in the box should be painted black or marked with black tape. The most common type of receptacle is the duplex (double) receptacle wired so that both outlets are on the same circuit, figure The current comes in on a black wire, flows from one screw through a metal strap to the other screw, and, when so wired, continues on to the next electrical box. The two receptacles in the duplex may be wired to two different circuits if the metal strap between the two screws is removed. This is called splitting the receptacle. A standard switch box will safely hold four wires only. To determine the number of wires in a box, only the POSitive and neutral wires are counted, not the ground wires. n other words, one incoming cable with a black wire, a white wire, and a ground wire is counted as two wires. With an identical cable taking the current on to the next box, the total of four wires has been reached.

The cable is pushed through this / hole. Some boxes have cable clamps provided with -: the box, while others require the addition of a cable clamp, figure The cable is inserted until )16 inch i ~gro~w CABLE of the cable jacket extends beyond the clamp. The CLAMP clamp is then tightened and cable is run between the switch box and the light box. f there is more than one light in the circuit, a cable may be installed to carry current from one light box to the next. All cables must be clamped securely in the boxes and stapled or clamped to the structure within 12 inches of each box and at intervals of 4~feet or less. To install the switch, a wire stripper is used to remove about % inch of insulation from the ends of individual wires, figure > STUD: SOLDER LESS CONNECTOR BARE COPPER Figure 33-4 Typical duplex receptacle. (Courtesy of the Pennsylvania State University. Department of Agricultural Education) WRNG A SWTCH AND LGHT As stated, a switch is a device used to stop the flow of electricity. A single-pole switch is a switch designed to be the only switch in a circuit. The cable carrying current from the service entrance panel may come to an outlet box where a light is mounted or to one where a switch is mounted. For example, a power cable coming to a box where a light is mounted and controlled by a single-pole switch is shown in figure To wire this circuit, cable with a white wire, black wire, and ground wire is used. The cable is prepared for insertion into the box by slitting 6 to 8 inches of the outside cable covering with a cable ripper, figure ~""~-=<=O."""'r~>~~.,! Caremust be taken to prevent. damage to the insulation on the individual wires. The wires are then separated from the jacket and the excess jacket material is cut off. '\,...-.~... ~~ry Care must be taken not to nick \... the wire durinq this procedure. A round loop is then made in the end of each wire. Each loop is wrapped around a brass-colored screw in the direction (clockwise) the screw turns when being tightened. The screws are then tightened securely. Switches are placed in hot wires only-never in neutral wires. Thus a piece of black tape is placed on the white wire to mark it as a hot wire. The ground wire is attached to the metal box with a ground (gee) clip. The switch is then screwed in place and a switch cover installed. Wiring the lamp holder box is more difficult. However, the work progresses in a logical sequence according to the following steps. PROCEDURE 1. Strip the ends of all insulated wires leaving 5/8 inch of wire exposed. The wires are now ready for connection with wire nuts. 2. Strip % inch from both ends of an 8-inch length of bare wire and ground it to the box with a ground clip or screw. 3. Hold the four ground (bare) wires so they form a bundle. Twist a wire nut onto the bundle and tighten it as much as possible with the hands. For large bundles. use a wire nut handle or pliers to tighten the wire nut. Cantin _

',:l, When all cover plates and fixtures have been installed, the cable can be wired into the fuse block or circuit breaker.

TESTNG A CRCUT After all lights and switches are wired, a circuit should be tested before turning on the circuit breaker or insetting the fuse. Use a continuity tester to be sure the circuit is not open. A continuity tester is a device used to determine if electricity can flow between two points. Continuity means connectedness. A circuit is open if there is a break or poor connection anywhere in it. The circuit should also be checked for shorts, or places where current (1) can get from the black wires to the ground wires or boxes or (2) can bypass the bulb and flow directly to the neutral wires. The final step is to test all boxes to ensure that they are properly grounded. The following procedure may be helpful in testing a circuit. f PROCEOURE 1. Place switches in the "on" position. 2. Remove all bulbs. WRNG LGHTS WTH THREE-WAY SWTCHES A three-way switch is a switch that, when used in a pair, permits a light or receptacle to be controlled from two different locations, figure The wiring of a circuit with three-way switches will vary according to the location of the incoming power cable, the light, and the two switches. However, certain basic rules apply regardless of the location of components. A three-way switch has three terminals. The current feeds into a common terminal identified by its dark screw. The current flows out through either one of the remaining two terminals identified by lightcolored screws. The light-colored screw that carries the current is determined by the position of the switch at any point in time. The two wires attached to the light-colored screws are called the swf tcfrin- (travelet) wires. A wire running from the cornmr terminal or dark screw of the second switch is tached to the brass screw on the light fixture.
