Power Quality and Why it Matters

Updating Your Home's Electrical System

• A number of options exist when selecting a
  generator and unlike many products, there are few
  easily recognizable brand names to choose from.

• The electrical current drawn by the arc is very
  small which prevents the breaker in an electrical
  panel from tripping. However, the temperature
  generated in this process might reach several
  thousands degrees.Now imagine that you're driving
  a nail into the wall, which accidentally
  penetrates an electrical conduit / wires, and
  causes an arc. If your house is wired with a
  flexible type conduit (wires are not inside the
  metal pipe), this small arc might be just the
  beginning of a big fire... unless this wire
  begins with a AFCI breaker.

• AFCI protection requirement for some of the
  circuits in you house has been in place since
  January 1, 2002. AFCI circuit breaker looks very
  similar to the GFCI breaker but serves completely
  different purpose.AFCI breakers protect our
  houses against the electrical fire hazard, while
  GFCI breakers protect people against electrical
  shocks.Arc fault happens when the electrical
  current jumps from one conductor to another. You
  might have noticed a small lightning (contact
  arcing) inside the light switch when flipping it.
  That's when the electrical current performs the
  jump, thankfully it happens inside the switch
  which has been designed for such events, and we
  can call it a controlled arc.

• We take our home appliances for granted.
  Electricity Freedom System Knowing the basics of
  electrical safety is very beneficial much more
  than most people could realize. Electricity is a
  vital component in our modern world.In every
  corner and in every nook how could we do our work
  and even gets through our day without all of
  these modern electrical "slaves". Whether it is a
  washing machine quietly cleaning our clothes, our
  water heater at the lake cottage or a simple hair
  dryer - how could we live in 2010 without all of
  these "mod cons"?http//electricityfreedomsystemre

  we tend to forget the dangers that it encompasses
  when not done rightfully.
