  1. Electrical Systems Construction Mr. O

  2. Components • Incoming Electrical Lines • Electrical Meter • Service Panels and Subpanels • Wiring • Outlets • Switches • Appliances

  3. Rough-In Components • Wires • Cables • Electrical Boxes • All added during beginning stages of construction

  4. Finish Components • Outlets • Switches • Light Fixtures • Added toward the end of construction

  5. How it Works: • Electricity is delivered through overhead lines and/or underground conduit to your house • Typically a three-wire system (two hot wires each delivering 120v, plus a neutral) • Runs through electric meter to main service panel (breaker box) • Electricity travels in a closed path from source to device, then back to source

  6. Electrical use • Household lights and small appliances use around 110v • Two wire system (one hot, one neutral Plus a ground)

  7. Electrical Use (cont’d) • Larger appliances use around 240v (electric stove, dryer, larger AC) • Three wire system (two hot, one neutral, Plus a ground)
