Fuses offer a simple solution to protect devices from overcurrent. They are installed in a circuit where they regulate the voltage. If excess current enters the circuit, it won’t be able to travel through the fuse. The fuse will break …

Have you heard of tray cables? They are commonly used in office buildings, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, warehouses and other commercial spaces. Like all cables, tray cables feature multiple conductors, with each conductor wrapped in insulation. Tray cables, however, are designed …

Ever wonder how wire is made? While there are different manufacturing processes for wire, one of the most common involves draw plates. Electrical wire, for instance, is often made via draw plates. Draw plates can convert conductive metal materials, such …

Wire can often be classified as either solid, stranded or braided depending on its construction. For electrical applications, wire is made of a conductive material, such as copper. The use of a conductive material allows electricity to flow through the …

Ever notice how some fiber optic cables have a jacket in a different color than others? Jacket colors can vary depending on the specific type of fiber optic cable. All fiber optic cables consist of ultra-thin strands of optical fiber …

A terminal block offers an effective way to terminate wires. Also known simply as a terminal, it’s a square- or rectangular-shaped electrical accessory that supports multiple wires. Both the front and back of a terminal block features holes. You can …

Electrical connectors come in a variety of styles. While some of them are designed to permanently connect multiple wires, others are designed to create a temporary connection. Bullet connectors fall under the latter category. You can use bullet connectors to …

With its high level of electrical conductivity, as well as its heat-resistant properties, copper is commonly used to make wire. Most electrical wire, in fact, is made of copper. With that said, not all wire is made of solid copper. …

Not all solar panels are the same. While they are all made of a photovoltaic (PV) material – such as silicon – that’s able to convert sunlight into electricity, they are available in different types. Most solar panels fall under …
