What is the drawer?
The electrical socket is also known as a container. The container output is an electrical outlet with one or more containers installed. Most modern houses have a container outlet. The most common of these is the output of the duplex vessel. It has two identical outlets, usually stacked on the other. The most common sales used in the United States is 120 V. This drawer contains three holes.
One small rectangular hole performs electricity via the plug to the powered device. This is known as a hot slit. The second rectangular hole is neutral. Two rectangular holes are placed in parallel with each other. Below these opening in the shape of an arc, it takes the lower tip of the plug to set up the device.
The common container output is made of two or more of these 120 volt containers. The containers are inserted into the wall and connected to the electrical system. They are then covered with a plastic or metal plate, so the wires are not exposed. Never miss the cover or insert anything except standard 120 volt plugs into zThe pots container without first off the current to this socket and using the current meter to check that the outlet is not alive. Electric shock can cause a heart attack or even death.
Special containers are used in bathrooms, kitchens and other humid areas to prevent electric shock. These special containers are called the interruption of the perimeter (GFCI) of the underground turn. They have standard outlets with three spikes. There are two buttons between the two outlets - the reset button and the test button. If the GFCI outlet sensing that the incoming current does not equal the current leaving the circuit, it turns off to prevent the flow of electricity to prevent any device connected to the outlet container.
As the outlets pose a risk of electric shock and fire, the National Fire Protection Organization includes installation and location in a container on a container in the National Electrical Act (NEC). ThoughThe code is not part of the National Law of the United States, many individual states order to be observed. Before installing or changing any outlets or electrical systems, the house owner should always check the electric code laws for their area. The best way to ensure that all rules are properly observed is to hire an electrician with a license.
