Most Surrey homes and businesses don\u2019t come with designer electrical panels.<\/h2>\n

Though they\u2019re not a highly-visible fixture and, more often than not, are completely overlooked, electrical panels are an absolutely critical part of modern living. Which is why it\u2019s in the best interest of every Surrey resident to know how their electrical panel works<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More often than not, the electrical panel<\/strong> tends to be somewhere in the close vicinity of the electricity meter. From here, all of the wiring in your Surrey home or business receives and distributes power from the electrical grid. The main job of the panel, then, is to make sure this power is harnessed and handled as safely as possible.<\/p>\n

Inside the electrical panel is a main breaker<\/strong>. This breaker can be used to immediately shut down all of the electricity surging through your home or business.<\/p>\n

The electrical panel also houses a wide array of secondary breakers<\/em>, each dedicated to an individual circuit. These secondary breakers can be used as switches to cut the power flow to any room or area where you have an irregularity like an overload. These are the breakers that get \u201cthrown\u201d when there is overheating in your wiring from overuse or some other cause like a malfunctioning appliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cCircuits\u201d\u2014 to break down the vocabulary of electricians and electrical contractors\u2014 are formed when a secondary breaker is connected to an outlet. Also known as your plugs.<\/p>\n

Some household appliances\u2014 like your refrigerator and hot water heater\u2014 rely on \u201cdedicated circuits\u201d<\/em> (circuits devoted solely to powering those appliances), while the majority of the smaller appliances and other electrical devices in your home can be run from any circuit.<\/p>\n

Every circuit in your Surrey home or business is powered by wiring<\/a>. Specifically, three wires: a \u201clive\u201d wire, a \u201cneutral\u201d wire (also known as the \u201creturn\u201d wire), and the \u201cground\u201d wire. As the name would imply, the power courses out from the live wire, while the neutral and the ground are protective measures to regulate how much electricity sparks from the live wire.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to know how your electrical panel works to the same extent as an electrician or an electrical contractor, but you should make it a priority to know how it functions and, in order to keep your electrical panel functioning to capacity (or as well as it can), you should make a point to have a licensed electrical contractor or electrician<\/a> perform regular electrical inspections.<\/p>\n
