Electrical Panel Upgrades

Electrical Panel Upgrades – Electrical manufacturers of previous eras could hardly imagine all the electrical conveniences and luxuries we enjoy today. Whether it’s an electric car charging station, a solar power system, an induction cooktop, a hot tub, a sauna, or a radiant patio heater, your old panel wasn’t designed for it. Sometimes just adding a few circuits and installing code-required Arc Fault Interrupter (AFCI) breakers requires a panel upgrade.

Another possible reason for replacing the electrical panel could be that the original installer saved a few bucks by going with a less expensive rig that has an aluminum busbar (where the circuit breakers attach) and the aluminum busbar has developed hot spots and burn marks over the years. to corrosion. This is especially common with more well-known panel brands such as GTE, Sylvania and Zinsco.

Grounding And Bonding

Grounding And Bonding – Bonding is the electrical connection of all exposed metal objects that are not designed to carry electricity in a room or building. Grounding is the attachment of connected systems to the ground. Bonding and grounding are necessary to protect people and property from electrical hazards.

This guide explains how grounding and bonding work and the related 2020 and 2023 NEC requirements.

Grounding And Bonding

Electrical grounding, also known as grounding, connects electrical equipment to the ground. The goal is to create a conductive path for current to flow in the event of lightning strikes, accidental contacts, static charges and surges. In this case, discharges in grounded equipment will flow to earth instead of to sensitive equipment, sensitive circuits, or personnel.

Wiring For Light Fixtures

Wiring For Light Fixtures – I am installing a light fixture in my crawl space. The fixture has a set of hot, neutral and ground wires coming to the fixture from toilets as well as a set of hot, neutral and ground wires coming to the fixture from our radon system (see photo below).

The hot and neutral wires had nuts that connected them together for the radon system to work. The radon system was installed as part of our home purchase, so this is the first time I’ve looked at this fixture. Would it be ok to clamp both wires of the same type (hot, neutral, ground) under the relevant light fixture screws? I started connecting the light fixture with one wire of each, as shown below.
