FAQs
What is an electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a loop where electricity flows through components like wires, cables, switches and devices. It powers lights, appliances and other electrical systems in your home or business.
What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
A series circuit has all components in one loop, if one device fails the whole circuit stops working. A parallel circuit has each component connected to the power source independently, so other devices will still work if one fails.
How do I know my lighting circuit needs repair?
Signs your lighting circuit may need repair are flickering lights, dim lights due to voltage drop, burning smells or overheating near outlets or junction boxes and tripping of circuit breakers when lights are turned on.
What is a consumer unit?
A consumer unit is also known as a fuse box. It’s the central panel that distributes electricity to all the circuits in your property. It has circuit breakers or fuses to protect your system from overloads and electrical faults.
Why is my circuit breaker tripping?
Circuit breakers trip to prevent damage or risk from electrical faults. Overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, damaged junction boxes, short circuits or excessive current flow are the common causes. These need to be checked and fixed.
