The GFCI full form is a ground fault interrupter that is an outlet or circuit breaker connected in part of the circuit where there are high chances of electrical shock. It will trip when the current in the GFCI line does not return to the neutral side. The GFCI measures current in line through load…

The electrical outlet is a device used for transferring electrical energy between circuits. Normally, the electrical power source is connected to input terminals, and there is a need to control the electrical devices connected, so connect the power plug of the device to the outlet. Another name for the outlet is a receptacle. The outlet…

The electrical ballast is an electrical device connected in series with load to limit current in the circuit. The commonly used type is inductive ballast in fluorescent lamps that limits current through the tube; if not, current can be high, which can hurt the tube’s voltage-current characteristic. Balls come in different types based on complications…

With time, fluorescent lamps are becoming a common option in lighting systems since they are low-cost and require little maintenance. Either their installation cost is a bit high but it works longer than conventional incandescent lights. The fluorescent lamps use fluorescent ballasts for working. These lamps produce light with the use of current and mercury.…

Occupancy sensors use the detection of motion to show a person’s existence. They are also used for turning on lights when anyone walks in the room, for temperature adjustment, or for HVAC system ventilation. Here we will discuss the features working and other factors of the Occupancy Sensor. So let’s get started with Introduction to…

There are no special wiring diagrams for smart switches, and the wiring process for different types of smart switches is like that of a normal single-pole or 3-way switch. However, all smart switches come with certain wiring diagrams for switches of the same brand. Here we will cover and process for smart switch wiring with…
