Across
  1. 6. An electrical safety device that protects a circuit from excess current or overcurrent.
  2. 9. A wire that carries voltage through a multi-way switch as in between two three-way switches. This offers two potential pathways to complete the circuit.
  3. 10. A measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties.
  4. 12. A unit of electrical resistance.
  5. 13. A loop of electrical flow.
  6. 15. A type of electrical outlet or socket, namely a wall plug, that provides a location where electrical current can be accessed as a power source.
  7. 16. A wire that is receiving power, or active.
  8. 19. This serves as a secure route for electrical currents in case of a short circuit.
  9. 20. Expressed in ohms, it is a measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to pass through a substance.
  10. 22. A switch that has one input and one output - on and off.
Down
  1. 1. An automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit.
  2. 2. A wire that carries an electrical current as long as it's being used as the return source for the power.
  3. 3. The amount of potential energy between two points in a circuit.
  4. 4. An electric switch used in house wiring so that a light may be turned on or off at three or more places.
  5. 5. A pipe, tube, or tile for protecting electric wires or cables.
  6. 7. A hub that connects a power source to the home; distributes electrical currents to different circuits in the home.
  7. 8. The flow rate of electric current, measured in amperes (amps).
  8. 11. The measure of potential electrical power between two points of conduction.
  9. 14. A device that measures the amount of electricity used.
  10. 17. Multiple location points to access power. For example, having more than one switch to control one light.
  11. 18. The wire that goes from the switch to whatever is being controlled.
  12. 19. Ground fault circuit interrupters work by constantly monitoring the amount of current running through a circuit and cut power to the circuit when tripped by an overload.
  13. 21. A measurement of electrical operating power (such as in lamps or appliances).
  14. 23. Guidelines and requirements for electrical safety, plus the standards for the safe installation of electrical in the U.S.
