Electrical Installation.
Across
- 2. A device that monitors the current flowing through a circuit and cuts off power when it detects an imbalance, protecting against electric shock.
- 8. The main hub that connects a power source to the home and distributes electrical currents to different circuits within the building.
- 9. Carries current back to the source in an AC system, typically connected to ground at the service panel.
- 10. A device that protects against electrical discharge in cords or wiring that can result in fire by disconnecting the damaged circuit before an arc builds up enough heat to catch fire.
- 12. The process of connecting electrical systems to the earth to ensure safety by providing a path for excess electricity to dissipate safely into the ground.
- 13. A point in a wiring system where electrical devices can be connected to receive power, commonly referred to as a wall plug.
- 15. An instrument used for measuring various electrical properties such as voltage, current, and resistance; essential for diagnosing issues in electrical systems.
Down
- 1. Devices designed to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes or other surges in electricity supply.
- 3. A device used to increase or decrease voltage levels in an electrical system, essential for transmitting electricity over long distances efficiently.
- 4. A tool used for removing insulation from wires before they are connected or spliced together, ensuring proper connections are made without damaging the wire itself.
- 5. An unintended connection between two nodes of an electrical circuit allowing current to travel along an unintended path with low resistance, potentially causing excessive current flow.
- 6. A measure of electrical power representing the rate at which energy is consumed or produced in a circuit.
- 7. The measure of electric potential difference between two points in a circuit; it is what drives electric current through conductors.
- 11. A material that allows electricity to flow through it, typically made of metals like copper or aluminum, which have high conductivity.
- 14. An automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit.
