There are many guidelines addressed in the NFPA 70 that make working with electrical hazards safer for employees. Here are some of the main areas of protection addressed: grounding of wires, fire alarm equipment, physical protection, abandoned supply circuits, communications equipment, temperature ratings, special requirements for information technology equipment room, among many other important guidelines.
Electric current is electric charge in motion, such as the flow of electrons through a wire. Electric current is electric charge in motion, such as the flow of electrons through a wire.
The SI unit for measuring an electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.Electric currents cause Joule heating, which creates light in incandescent light bulbs.an-made occurrences of electric current include the flow of conduction electrons in metal wires such as the overhead power lines that deliver electrical energy across long distances and the smaller wires within electrical and electronic equipment.
