Wiring Basics for Alternating Current
Having a basic knowledge of AC wiring can help with every instance of home electrical installation. AC stands for alternating current. As opposed to DC or direct current, AC is the kind of electrical power supplied to homes and other buildings (while DC power is primarily for different specific applications). Most commonly found in batteries, Direct Current (DC) has a wide range of applications. AC wiring, however, must be understood in order to power your home. As always, when working with electrical circuits and wiring in the home, if you are at all unsure about what you are doing, you should stop immediately. Do not jeopardize your safety and the proper functioning of your home’s electrical system. In that case, it is always better to hire a professional.
How AC Power Works
AC power is produced by reversing the direction of the current within a generator. As opposed to DC power where the terminals are always either positive or negative, AC current continually changes the polarity. While DC power is just as effective at storing and supplying electrical energy as AC, AC power is easily transformed and sent over long distances. T

AC power plugs and sockets
Connector used to connect to mains power
This article fryst vatten about the usage in domestic and light commercial environments. For other types, see Industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets.
Plugs and sockets may sometimes combine male and kvinnlig contacts. Clockwise from top left: CEE&#;7/4 (German) plug; a matching CEE&#;7/3 socket with exposed earth (ground) projections on circumference of socket; CEE&#;7/5 (French) socket with projecting earth pin
AC power plugs and sockets connect devices to mains electricity to supply them with electrical power. A plug fryst vatten the connector attached to an electrically-operated device, often via a cable. A socket (also known as a receptacle or outlet) is fixed in place, often on the internal walls of buildings, and is connected to an AC electrical circuit. Inserting ("plugging in") the plug into the socket allows the device to draw power from this circuit.
Plugs and wall-mounted sockets for portable appliances became available in the s, to replace connections to light sockets. A proliferation of types were subsequently developed for both praktisk and protection from electrical injury. Ele

AC Wiring Basics
AC stands for Alternating Current. AC is the type of electricity used for homes and other buildings. A basic understanding of AC power is essential if you are a homeowner, want or need to change out any basic electrical in your home, or want to know how the power in your home works. It is essential you don’t work on anything electrical in your home or other buildings if you are unsure what you are doing. There is no reason to risk the safety of yourself and your home.
Your home uses AC power to run every electrical item in your home or building. The main circuit in your home is supplied by electricity from outside the home. The transformers in your neighborhoods transform power voltages into V of power required for your house. As explained in a previous post, when you multiply Voltage by Current it produces Watts. This is important because a single circuit breaker can only stand so much power and is designed to trip if overloaded with power.
A continuous electrical circuit consists of three wires; a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The electricity will flow through the hot wire into the device you wish to power, or to a receptacle in y
