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.

Industrial VS Commercial VS Residential Electrical Installation

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 article before regarding the difference between Industrial VS Commercial VS Residential electricians. You can read that article for more information.

What is Industrial Electrical Installation?

Industrial Electrical installation is related to the installation of industrial electrical machineries, electrical panels, industrial electrical safety, power supply systems, proper power distribution for different categories(production, utility, building), etc. It is related to production or manufacturing plants, stations, etc. 

Industrial electrical installation is more complicated than others as there are so many restrictions and safety measures provided by the government. Here, so many different types of panels are installed because an industry or manufacturing company has so many machines and devices. For example, MCC(Motor Control Center) Panels connect all the motors of that company. PCC(Power Control Center) panel distribute power to the different section. So industrial electrical installation involves so many complex wirings, automation systems, safety features, etc.

What is Commercial Electrical Installation?

Commercial electrical installation is related to the installation of electrical wiring and devices in commercial buildings such as hospitals, shopping malls, warehouses, etc. It is not so much complicated as industrial installations. Because here mostly particular types of loads are used.

In commercial buildings mostly one or two electrical panels are installed and they are also very simple. Most of the commercial installations are depended on a 440V three-phase power supply(In India) and 208V(in the United States). There are not so many costly devices and machineries in commercial electrical installations like industrial installations. Here restrictions and safety measures are also less.

What is Residential Electrical Installation?

It is also known as domestic electrical installation. Domestic or Residential Electrical Installation is related to the wiring and installation of residential buildings, homes, offices, small shops, etc. Residential installation is dependent on 230V(in India) Single Phase supply or 120V in the united states. Residential electrical installation is less costly than others. Here few and low-cost safety devices are used.

Residential Electrical Installation is done by residential electricians. Residential electricians require only a state license or a relevant local agency for their work. They no need to acquire any additional certifications. Here the voltage and power level are low so there is no need for high-grade materials. That reduces the cost of installations.

What is a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) | Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor

PTC is an initial for Positive Temperature Coefficient PTC thermistors are resistors with a positive temperature coefficient, meaning their resistance rises as the temperature rises. PTC thermistors are classified into two types depending on the materials used, the structure of the device, and the production method. Solicitors are the earliest type of PTC thermistors, and they employ silicon as the semiconducting material. Because of their linear feature, they are employed as PTC temperature sensors.  The switching type PTC thermistor is the second category. The resistance-temperature curve of a switching type PTC thermistor is very nonlinear. When a switching type PTC thermistor is heated, the resistance initially decreases until a critical temperature is achieved. As the temperature rises above the critical point, the resistance rises substantially. This kind of PTC thermistor is commonly utilized in PTC heaters, sensors, and other applications. This second group includes polyme...

Interfacing Push button switch with AT89S52 Microcontroller.

This tutorial is for beginners in the field of micro-controller. The purpose of this tutorial is to use of push-button switch with the micro-controller. It will be useful whenever a decision is to be made according to the press of a switch. Input/output devices are very critical components of an embedded system. The first input device we will study is the switch. It allows the human to input binary information into the microcontroller. Typically we define the Two-state, logic as true when the switch is pressed. logic false, when the switch is not pressed. A single pole single throw (SPST) switch has two connections. The switches are shown as open circuits in Figure 1. which is a normally open switch (NO), the resistance between the connections is infinite (over 1000 MΩ) if the switch is not pressed and zero (under 0.1 Ω) if the switch is pressed.  A switch has a two-state open state and a closed state. And the state of the switch is monitored by the microcontroller at a digital inp...

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...
