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 ...

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...

74HC165 Shift Register and your Arduino UNO

Today in this tutorial I'll explain to you how to control the 74HC165 parallel in serial out(PISO) shift register using your ARDUINO board. Here we used 74HC165 for increasing numbers of inputs of your ARDUINO board. Shift registers are often used for the purpose of saving pins on a microcontroller. Every microcontroller has a limited number of pins for general inputs and outputs (GPIO). Sometimes we have required more inputs and our controller does not provide such inputs at that time parallel in serial out(PISO) shift register is used to increase inputs. An 8-bit shift register needs 4 lines of a microcontroller. One pin to clock for data transfer, one for clock enable, one for shifting/loading/latching the bits, and one for serial data transfer. Here we used only 3 pins of microcontrollers. One pin for loading the bits, one pin to clock for data transfer, one pin to serial data transfer. In 74HC165 Clock enable pin is active low so we connect it to the ground. Two 74HC165 can be...

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...
