Understanding Wire Gauges | Ask This Old House


In this video, This Old House master electrician Heath Eastman teaches host Kevin O’Connor about wire gauges and the applications for different size wires. SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse. Master electrician Heath Eastman gives host Kevin O'Connor a lesson on wire sizes. Heath displays different wire sizes, ranging from thin to thick. He explains how each wire type gets its name and gives Kevin some examples of what each wire might be used for. Wire sizing can be confusing. AWG? Aught? 14/2 vs 14/3? What does it all mean? Master electrician Heath Eastman teaches host Kevin O’Connor what these sizes mean and what wires of different sizes are used for. Where to find it? Heath explains the range in electrical wire gauges and how they vary depending on the load needed for a specific appliance. Electric current has a limited capacity dependent on the size of the wire. Circuits are available in different voltage loads to provide the exact amount of electricity required for a particular appliance. The larger the wire, the more current it can carry, meaning large wires support heavier electrical loads and smaller wires support lower loads. Electrical wire can be found at your local home improvement store. Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

Choosing the Best Commercial LED Parking Lot Lights


When you set out to improve safety for your employees, customers and neighbors, your parking lot is one of the first places to consider. Your parking lot is also a major part of both the first and lasting impressions your property makes on the public. A poorly lit, potholed lot sends all the wrong messages. As you can imagine, a poorly lit parking lot is also what insurance experts call “a claim waiting to happen” — and that claim could be a liability claims against you and your business!

But a  clean, well lit, well maintained parking facility is a neighborhood asset.  Investing in making your lot stand out for safety and attractiveness just makes good business sense.

Complimented by smart commercial and outdoor fixtures, Warehouse Lighting has a wide variety of LED parking lot and shoebox lighting solutions, light poles, and LED retrofit kits to help you elevate your parking lot into one of the major assets of your property or your business — and help you stand out in the neighborhood around you.

How do solar panels work? - Richard Komp


The Earth intercepts a lot of solar power: 173,000 terawatts. That’s 10,000 times more power than the planet’s population uses. So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy? Richard Komp examines how solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy.
