Electrical code Electrical code An electrical code is a set of regulations for the design and installation of electrical wiring in a building. The intention of a code is to provide standards to ensure electrical wiring systems that are safe for people and property. Such wiring is subject to rigorous safety standards for design and installation. Wires and electrical cables are specified according to the circuit operating voltage and electric current capability, with further restrictions on the environmental conditions, such as ambient temperature range, moisture levels, and exposure to sunlight and chemicals. Associated circuit protection, control and distribution devices within a building's
Armature (electrical) design of the machine and its performance, affecting such factors as commutation in a DC machine or the waveform of an AC machine. Armature wiring is made from copper or aluminum. Copper armature wiring enhances electrical efficiencies due to its higher electrical conductivity. Aluminum armature wiring is lighter and less expensive than copper. Armature (electrical) In electrical engineering, an armature is the power-producing component of an electric machine. The armature can be on either the rotor (rotating part) or the stator (stationary part) of the electric machine. The armature interacts with the magnetic field (magnetic flux) in the air-gap; the
