If you are having trouble running multiple appliances or lights on one receptacle or a series of outlets, this may be due to outdated lighting. In this case, the wire might be too small to provide sufficient current, causing the disruption in power.

Did you know in Germany many power lines that carry more than 100,000 volts implement double-circuit transmissions? They also utilize quadruple-circuits and even hextuple power lines, but these are rare.

There are more energy efficient ways to cool or heat your office building. Install blinds or solar screen shades. Use reflective window film or awnings on all south-facing windows. Install insulation, water heaters, and supply pipes as well.

If you are seeking LEED certification for the commercial building you have under construction, there are many opportunities available when it comes time to wire the building. For example, installing ceiling fans in strategic locations throughout the structure will work to your advantage.

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a special breaker or receptacle that provides extraordinary protection from shock. A GFCI can tell if any power is leaking out of a circuit to a ground and will de-energize the circuit. GFCI’s are needed 6 feet from any source of water.

You know that electricity can be created in many ways, but did you know coal is the world’s largest source of electricity production? Coal is burned in furnaces that boil water and steam from the boiling water then spins turbines that are attached to generators to produce electricity!

Although much of the world's energy relies on fossil fuels, supplies are running out. Care to guess when the remaining stores of oil and natural gas are slated to run dry? That would be 2052 for oil and 2065 for gas.

Do you know why circuit breakers trip? The most common reason is that the circuit is overloaded, meaning too many things are plugged in or turned on in the circuit. Another common reason is a short circuit due to faulty wiring.

In some situations, power lines cannot simply be run from point A to B. Before we begin any project, we survey the site to address any special situations such as protected wetlands, endangered species habitats, and other environmental considerations.

Power flows through the transmission system through a relay of different sized power lines. Large 500-kilovolt (kV) lines, often start the relay at the power plants where substations increase the voltage. Electrical currents flow through these lines to substations that step down the voltage, transferring it often to 230-kV lines.
