Chapter 16 - Residential Wiring Concepts

Chapter Overview
Electrical codes must be followed when installing a residential wiring system.
Following these codes helps ensure a safe and dependable system.
Newer devices such as ground-fault circuit interrupters and arc-fault circuit interrupters reduce the likelihood of electrical shocks and fires. They can be installed to protect an entire branch circuit.
Multipoint control of a load, such as a lamp, is a great convenience. It can be provided by full-voltage switching using 3-way and 4-way switches, or low-voltage control systems using latching relays, or electronic control circuits responding to coded radio frequencies.
