Electric Flashcards
Junction Box (J-Box)
The junction box serves as the communal meeting spot for electrical wires, where they connect before moving on. These boxes protect hot (black), white (neutral), and grounding (green or copper) electrical wires and may contain some other wire colors for secondary functions and lighting.
Connectrac
Connectrac Flex is a floor-based power and data distribution system that allows users to quickly add connectivity or change power locations in a snap. Flex features a low-profile raceway that is available with two installation options – under carpet tile and on top of any flooring surface.
Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker is an incredibly simple tool used to control the flow of power to a household or business.
The circuit breaker is an essential device in the modern world, and one of the most important safety mechanisms in your home. Whenever electrical wiring in a building has too much current flowing through it, these simple machines cut the power until somebody can fix the problem. Without circuit breakers (or the alternative, fuses), household electricity would be impractical because of the potential for fires and other mayhem resulting from simple wiring problems and equipment failures.
