AC-DC Electric

Once substations step down the voltage from large lines and transfer to smaller lines, the power can then be taken off by an EMC or industrial customer. It can also continue to lines of 115-kV, 69-kV or 46-kV.

While wiring may seem simple, it’s actually part of a vast interdependent network. Typically, the repair will involve other circuits and systems you hadn’t even considered, which is why using a professional electrician is usually your best bet.

An important component of proper power line construction is the foundation of the tower structure. This formation can be stabilized considerably by the use of anchors, guy wires, and braces.

Electrical work requires a special skill set and the knowledge of the local safety codes that are applicable to your project. You can find out that information yourself, which may take years, or you can hire the professionals for a lot less.

If you’re trying to make your place of business as safe as possible for potential customers, it starts from the time they park their cars. When you need to install lights in your parking lot, we’re always available to help.

Many LED lighting systems and bulbs are now dimmable, which is a big advantage. If your dimmable LEDs aren’t working properly, let us know. Often the problem is the dimmer switch, which may not be LED compatible.

Depending on the type of business that is in the location, the service may need to be increased and/or modified to supply the adequate amount of electricity needed. Restaurants, beauty salons and machine shops all vary on their power needs.

We understand that no one loves to recreate their hard work when a power surge knocks out power to their computer. While the occasional power outage is usual during a storm, we should be able to help you deal with the more frequent surges.

The path of electricity is not dedicated. Instead, power flows through the grid, following the path - through the power lines we make available - of least resistance. This is how power can stay on in an area even if a nearby power line or substation fails or is taken out of service. We can be your conduit.

If you live in a home with an older electrical system, you may find that you can’t do simple things like running the coffeemaker and toaster at the same time. When you’re ready to reclaim control of your appliances, we’re always happy to help you revamp your home’s electrical system.

The electrical demand, called load, is simply transferred to other lines in the area, assuming that they have sufficient capacity. Like traffic, power simply travels around trouble spots by using other routes. Our engineers create systems that help keep power flowing efficiently to you and your customers, the end user.

Did you know that, for many years, commercial electrical generators were only found on buildings that served a critical purpose, such as hospitals and fire stations? However, these days there has been a large increase in the number of buildings that have generators.

If you find yourself changing fuses often or resetting circuit breakers regularly, it is probably time to call an electrician. A licensed electrician can diagnose any issues with the wiring in your home and recommend proper repair.

What is the difference between a commercial electrician and an industrial electrician? Commercial electricians work in locations such as stores and offices installing general use power outlets and lighting. Industrial electricians work mainly with high voltage power distribution.

Have you started noticing that breakers are tripping more often than usual in your house? That’s a sure sign that something’s up with your wiring. Let’s talk about what you’re doing when the breaker trips, so that we can determine the exact nature of the problem.

Commercial electric work is primarily done indoors and is not as affected by weather as other jobs in the construction field. They are frequently involved in field service calls and regular maintenance.

There are a variety of physics involved with electricity. One of them is the electric charge which is associated with some subatomic particles and can then effect their electromagnetic interactions. That matter which is electrically charged can then be influenced and even produces electromagnetic field of its own.

Using electrical test meters and ohmmeters, commercial electricians ensure the continuity of wiring to ascertain compatibility and safety of the components. These tests may be performed during the installation of a new electrical system, to ensure its proper performance.

If your cordless phones and WiFi connections are dropping signals or filled with static, you might be dealing with electromagnetic interference (EMI). Improperly shielded fluorescent lighting is one of the most common sources for EMI issues in homes and office settings.

In the early 1900s, when buildings began switching from gas to electric lighting, electricians ran electrical wire through the now-unused gas pipes. These pipes provided a convenient conduit that led directly to wall and ceiling light fixtures that were being converted to electric power.

Do you know the range of a high voltage overhead power transmission line? The voltage can run between 115,000 and 138,000 volts. These are often used to transmit large amounts of power and connect to large consumers.
