33、into a wall outlet doesnt change, but the ways we harness and manage electricalpower are constantly improvingalways with an eye toward safety. The Complete Guide to Wiring changes, too. Now in its 5th edition, this million-selling book is the most popular -yourself wiring manual in stores today. A b

34、ig reason for its success is that we take pains to carefully update the book every three years, as the national electrical codes are revised.If you were to place this 5th edition of The Complete Guide to Wiring next to the 4th edition, youd notice many similarities off the bat. But when you look a l

35、ittle more ly, youll spot some subtle but key differences that reflect current practices and product preferences. For example, recent code changes require the use of tamper-resistant receptacles with a protective shield that covers each slot so children cannot poke anything into it except a plug. In

36、 this book you wont find a picture of a receptacle that is not tamper-resistant unless it is being replaced. Weve also eliminated circuit testers that are not of the much safer touch- variety, and weve included updated grounding strategies on many projects.Along with these and other updates, weve ad

37、ded some new projects that reflect current interest. ers demanded more information on backup power generators, so we have added a complete step-by-step sequence for a transfer switch installation (the transfer switch redirects key circuit power demand to a standalone generator during power outages).

38、 Because home power demands aigher now than when many houses were built, upgrading the capacity of the electrical service panel is a popular project. But one aspect of upgrading a panel that is often overlooked is the need to upgrade your grounding and bonding system, too. So we have added a full se

39、quence for this job: down to driving the 8-ft. grounding rod into the earth.Are you tired of relying on a couple of pull chains to operate your ceiling fan and light? We show you how to retrofit a convenient remote control device so you can turn the light on and off and change fan speed without leav

40、ing your seat.Alternative energy sources are expanding rapidly in popularity. As interest grows, manufacturers are finding ways to make the technology DIY friendly. A perfect case in point is solar energy. It may seem like a simple technology, but unless you maintain a large RV or boat, working with

41、 DC power sources is a brand new concept to most homeowners. So we have included a step-by-step demonstration that shows you exactly how to install a standalone DC power distribution system that is energized by a photovoltaic panel. You wont find this project in other DIY wiring books!Most DIYers wh

42、o have done it will agree that home wiring is fun and rewarding. But it is also fraught with danger. Thats why it is critically important to involve your local electrical inspections department with your wiring plans from the start. If you are installing new circuits or adding capacity, you need a p

43、ermit and most likely a physical inspection of your work. Do not avoid this step. Local inspectors are generally very helpful and should be considered valuable resources. Failing to obtain permits or inspections can result in fines. If the wiring is incorrect or of substandard workmanship, major dis

44、asters can occur. If at any time during a wiring job you encounter a situation about which you are unsure, stop and get assistance. 7BasICsof WIrInGWorking safely with WiringThe only way you can possibly manage home wiring projects safely is to understand how electricityworks and how it is delivered

45、 from the street to the outlets in your home.The most essential quality to appreciate about electricity is that the typical amounts that flow through the wires in your home can be fatal under certain conditions if you contact it directly. Sources estimate that up to 1,000 people are electrocuted acc

46、identally in the U.S. every year. In addition, as many as 500 die in fires from electrical causes.Home wiring can be a very satisfying task for-yourselfers, but if you dont know what youre doing or are in any way uncomfortable with the idea of working around electricity, do not attempt it.This chapt

47、er is intended to explain the fundamental principles the electrical circuits that run through our homes. It also includes some very basic tips for working safely with wiring, and it s the essential tools youll need for the job. For the beginner it should be considered mandatory ing. Even if you have

48、 a good idea of electrical principles, take some time to review the material. A refresher course is always useful.In this chapter: How Electricity Works Understanding Electrical Circuits Grounding & Polarization Home Wiring Tools Wiring Safety 11How Electricity WorksAhousehold electrical system can

49、be compared with a homes plumbing system. Electrical currentflows in wires in much the same way that water flows inside pipes. Both electricity and water enter the home, are distributed throughout the house, do their “work,” and exit.In plumbing, water first flows through the pressurized water suppl

50、y system. In electricity, current first flows along hot wires. Current flowing along hot wires also is pressurized. The pressure of electrical current is called voltage.Large supply pipes can carry a greater volume of water than small pipes. Likewise, large electrical wires carry more current than s

51、mall wires. This current-carrying capacity of wires is called amperage.Water is available for use through the faucets, spigots, and showerheads in a home.Electricity is available through receptacles, switches, and fixtures.Water finally leaves the home through a drain system, which is not pressurize

52、d. Similarly, electrical current flows back through neutral wires. The current in neutral wires is not pressurized and is said to be at zero voltage.Water returnsunder no pressureDrain pipeWater supply pipeWater flowsunder pressurefaucetWater and electricity both flow . The main difference is that y

54、 Delivery SystemElectrical power that enters the home is produced by large power plants. power plants are located in all parts of the country and generate electricity with turbines that are turned by water, wind, or steam. From these plants electricity enters large “step-up” transformers that increase voltage to half a million volts or more.Electricity flows easily at these large voltages and travels through
