Residential Wiring Req & Dev.
Objectives NEC Describe ‘electrical service entry’ components Understand the ground system required understand over current protection devices &
requirements

Approval of wiring
NEC - National Electrical Code specifies ‘rules’ that must be followed to
comply intended to promote fire & electrical safety
![Page 4: EET 110 - Survey of Electronics Chapter 23 - Residential Wiring Requirements and Devices](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4c5503460f94a2a803/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Approval of wiring
Approval of electrical installations must be performed or approved by a licensed
Master Electrician inspected by state electrical inspector

Underground wiring
Same wires run to meter head from service transformer to meter head
2 ‘hot’ leads, one neutral
![Page 9: EET 110 - Survey of Electronics Chapter 23 - Residential Wiring Requirements and Devices](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4c5503460f94a2a803/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Three wire power distribution
Single phase powerrated as 240 volts
1 x 240 volts - 2 x 120 volts + ground
2 hot leads - black or red each is 120 volts to neutral 240 volts between the two ‘hot’ leads
![Page 11: EET 110 - Survey of Electronics Chapter 23 - Residential Wiring Requirements and Devices](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4c5503460f94a2a803/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: EET 110 - Survey of Electronics Chapter 23 - Residential Wiring Requirements and Devices](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4c5503460f94a2a803/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
neutral (not ground) whiteonly allowed to fuse or switch the ‘hot’
leads.Never interrupt the neutral leadsneutral is grounded at the main box and at
the meter head may not be at ground (0 volt) potential
elsewhere in the house

General Wiring requirements
Service size requirements 100 amp is common in older homes 200 amp service is standard for installation in
‘new work’ or upgrades
High tension wire provides high voltage to local transformer transformer provides 240 volts center tapped
(gives 2 120 volt lines)

Switches / Dimmers SPST - simple single circuit switching DPST - 240 V
• both ‘hot’ leads must be broken SPDT - three way switches four way switches
![Page 29: EET 110 - Survey of Electronics Chapter 23 - Residential Wiring Requirements and Devices](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d4c5503460f94a2a803/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Grounding system safety - electrons take shortest path to ground neutral wire carries electron flow from load
• not a ground
• never break neutral - ie. Switch bare ground wire - to earth ground Ground rod
• sink to earth ground
