Home Electrical Part 1: Understanding Electrical Theory

How does electricity flow from the powerplant to my home? What is the difference between Amps, Watts, and Volts? What is a circuit? And how about understanding that electrical panel? In this video, our veteran electrical teacher walks us through understanding residential electrical systems, and will discuss:
  • how to "map" your system by figuring out what is on which circuit breaker.
  • circuits and grounding (hot vs. neutral)
  • how to use a non-contact voltage tester
  • watts/volts/amps
  • wire gauge and proper insulation
  • resistance vs. conductivity
  • how to double and triple check for safety before closing up your box and flipping your switches back on
