  • Circuit Breaker: A circuit breaker is a type of electric panel that directs the flow of power throughout your home. It consists of one central switch that controls power to your whole house, in addition to many other smaller switches assigned to individual circuits. A circuit breaker is designed to protect circuits from overload, short circuiting, and power surges.
  • Amps: A unit of measurement for the amount of electricity flowing through a circuit.
  • Voltage: Refers to the force of electricity flowing through your electrical wires. A good metaphor is that voltage differs from amperage in the same way that the water pressure of a hose differs from the amount of water flowing through a hose.
  • Watts: A measure of the total electrical power used by a single device. Watts are calculated by multiplying the number of volts by the number of amps. Most household devices push power through electrical wiring at 120 volts, so to calculate how many devices you can safely plug in to one circuit, divide the wattage of each device by 120 volts and add up the number of amps. It should not exceed the amperage of your circuit.
  • Electrical Load: The power consumed by a circuit, drawn by the devices plugged into that circuit.
  • Continuous Load: An electrical load where the maximum current continues for three hours or more.
  • Current Rating: The maximum current that a circuit breaker is designed to carry without tripping, expressed in amps. Circuit breaker safety ratings obey the 80% rule, which says that circuits can only carry a continuous load at 80% of their rating.
  • Overload: Otherwise known as “overcurrent,” an overload is a current that exceeds what the circuit is designed to handle, i.e. more amps than the current rating of the circuit.
  • Overload Capacity: The highest level of overload current a circuit can interrupt and still continue to protect against additional overloads.
  • Trip: When someone says that a circuit has “tripped,” that means that the switch controlling that circuit detected an overload, and so flipped and cut off power to the circuit.
  • Short Circuit: When a circuit allows a current to travel along an unintended path with little or no impedance, usually resulting in an excess flow of power.
  • Fault: An abnormal electrical current, such as an overload or a short circuit.
  • Pre-Fault Current: The normal state current that flowers through a circuit or device.

  • Panel door: An outer panel door that swings open
  • Removable cover: Protective cover with spaces for the circuit breaker switches
  • Main breaker: Large switch that shuts off incoming power to all of the circuits
  • Lugs: Metal lugs attached to thick wires that lead out and connect to the service drop
  • Circuit breakers: Removable 15A or 20A switches that control individual electric circuits
  • Spaces: Open or spare spaces on the service panel for creating extra circuits (sometimes, all open spaces will be filled with circuit breakers)
  • Wires: Assortment of wires that run from the circuit breakers to the circuits that service areas of the house

Since these involve drawings, spread-sheets and interaction with local distributors, I expect to have to scaffold quite a bit more for about half of the class, while remaining on schedule for the building project and keeping with pacing for the "industry recognized" credential.

    About 3/4 of my students have a good working knowledge of Google suite tools, and the remaining 1/4 show no mastery with that platform - or reading and writing skills for that matter.  So, those are prevalent factors that affect precise pacing.  When students come to Electricity with verbal and tech deficits as profound as the 1/4 subset displays, we wind up having to perform a VERY WIDE range of instruction across a multifariously distributed spectrum of prior competency.]]>     2022-12-20 13:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2425781831     SNOW DAY jsellerss https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2425788095 Plans shift one day to the right for years one and two alike.]]> 2022-12-20 13:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2425788095 yo jsellerss https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2425980582 2022-12-20 16:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2425980582 Essential Question jsellerss https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2436589256 How do I install a GFCI and/or AFCI Breaker?]]> 2023-01-08 03:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jsellerss/ki8501e97r7l2zeq/wish/2436589256
