Industrial VS Commercial VS Residential Electrical Installation

Hey, in this article we are going to see the comparison between Industrial, Commercial, and Residential Electrical installation. We will make compare with respect to types, procedure, cost, safety, equipment, and many other essential factors. First of all, let's know what is electrical installation. Electrical installation is a procedure to install electrical circuits, wirings, equipment, and machines. The electrical installation can be divided into three major parts - 1. Installing of electrical equipment or device or machine 2. Make electrical connection or wiring for them 3. Provide them proper voltage and power to operate them. These different types of electrical installation required different types of electricians and management. For example, commercial electrical installation requires commercial electricians, industrial electrical installation requires industrial electricians, and residential electrical installation requires residential electricians. We already published an ...

Difference between Industrial, Commercial, and Residential Electrician

What is an Industrial Electrician?

An industrial electrician is a person who works within a particular industry for its electrical operation, installation, maintenance, repairing, etc. An industrial electrician is different from a residential or commercial. Their work is also different. Industrial electrician mainly works within a boundary and they have to report to their respected engineer or manager in that particular industry.

Difference between Industrial, Commercial, and Residential Electrician

Key Responsibilities of Industrial Electrician

  1. Strictly follow the electrical safety measures and guidelines as it is related to the overall industry.
  2. Read and interpreter electrical drawings, and wiring diagrams and execute them in practice.
  3. Preventive and breakdown maintenance of plant machinery, and devices.
  4. Daily routine inspection, check-up, and routine maintenance of plant machinery.
  5. Work for industrial new projects contributes to new planning and execution.

Industrial electricians are more depth knowledge of electrical machine maintenance. They did not travel more to different places as the commercial or residential electricians. Industrial electricians have to work very hard and busy in case the of production and manufacturing companies. Also, they mostly have to do shift-wise work

What is a Commercial Electrician?

A commercial electrician is a skilled and licensed person to work in commercial buildings such as shopping malls, large office buildings, restaurants, hotels, etc. They did not work in residential buildings. But the work of a commercial electrician is very similar to a residential electrician such as installation, maintenance, etc. The commercial electrician is a better carrier path than a residential electrician. Also, they earn more money than residential electricians and they have to follow more safety and regulations.

Key Responsibilities of Commercial Electrician

  1. Installation of electrical wiring, machine, and devices, in commercial buildings.
  2. Maintaining electrical systems, and circuits.
  3. Inspect electrical fault errors.
  4. Reading and interpreting electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, circuit diagrams, etc.
  5. Handling electricians team and coordinating, providing field knowledge.
  6. Repairing and maintenance of existing circuits, hardware,  networking-related works, etc.

What is a Residential Electrician?

A residential electrician is a skilled person to does electrical work and is licensed for the allowance in residential buildings such as domestic houses, family houses, and small offices for electrical installation, Wiring, inspection, maintenance, and Repairing.

Key Responsibilities of Residential Electrician

  1. Maintaining Electrical Systems in Residential Building, Homes, Offices
  2. Electrical Installation and House Wiring
  3. Reading or interpreting electrical drawings.
  4. Repairing, finding out defective components, and replacing components.
  5. Diagnosing errors and problems in electrical circuit systems and taking corrective action.
  6. Team handling, providing training for field knowledge.

Residential electricians generally work with low voltage only, in very rear cases they work with medium voltage. They are working with construction companies or contracting companies and they have to visit the field every day for their work. Residential electricians are maybe self-employed also. They have been licensed to work for installation in the new buildings or repairing or maintenance in existing residential buildings.

What is the Joule Thief Circuit and how does it work

A joule thief is a compact, low-cost, and easy-to-build self-oscillating voltage booster that is often used to drive small loads(3.3v 5mm LED). Other names for this circuit include blocking oscillator , joule ringer , and vampire torch . The circuit is a blocking oscillator variation that functions as an unregulated voltage boost converter. The output voltage is increased at the price of a larger input current draw, but the output integrated (average) current is reduced and the luminescence brightness is reduced. This joule thief Circuit uses a 1.2 V or 1.5 V single-cell electric battery to power LEDs. However, as the supply voltage reaches 3V, the LED begins to light. The theory of operation of a Joule thief circuit Joule Thief Circuit The joule thief circuit operates on a fairly basic basis. It operates by quickly switching the transistor. When the transistor is first switched off, a tiny amount of current flows via the resistor, primary winding, and base-emitter junction, assistin...

What is an electric fuse | Fuse resistance | Functions

To avoid a short circuit or device failure, an electrical fuse is a low melting point copper or other metal wire that breaks due to heat-induced by Overcurrent or excessive load. The flow of electric current warms up the items through which it passes. Electric water heaters, light bulbs, and irons are just a few examples of electric gadgets that make use of this phenomenon. It does, however, have certain downsides. For example, if this equipment becomes overheated, it may become damaged or even catch fire! In reality, the undesirable high electric currents harm not only these gadgets, but all of the appliances in our home. Any gadget can only withstand a certain quantity of electric current. If the current surpasses that limit, the device's components heat up, perhaps resulting in a fire! Is there a way to prevent this from happening? An "electric fuse" is a device that is used to prevent this from happening. It comes in a variety of forms and sizes. This is how it usuall...

Using the IR2110 high-low side driver - explanation and circuit examples

In many situations, we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side switches. Many a times we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side and low-side switches. Such as in bridge circuits. In half-bridge circuits, we have 1 high-side MOSFET and 1 low-side MOSFET. In full-bridge circuits we have 2 high-side MOSFETs and 2 low-side MOSFETs. In such situations, there is a need to use high-side drive circuitry alongside low-side drive circuitry. The most common way of driving MOSFETs in such cases is to use high-low side MOSFET drivers. Undoubtedly, the most popular such driver chip is the IR2110. And in this article/tutorial, I will talk about the IR2110. Notice that the IR2110 comes in two packages – 14 pin through-hole PDIP package and the 16-pin surface mount SOIC package. Now let's talk about the different pins. VCC is the low-side supply and should be between 10V and 20V. VDD is the logic supply to the IR2110. It can be between +3V to +20V (with reference to VSS). The actual voltag...
