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 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...
