Document Summary
Electrical systems for buildings usually are designed and installed by electrical engineers or licensed contractors who handle the technical aspects, since they are aware of the many codes and restrictions that govern electrical devices and power supplies. However, the interior designer does get involved in planning for electrical systems, particularly switch locations, dimmers, outlets, and an increasing variety of lighting circuitry and types. Information-age electrical systems include seamlessly integrating many forms of computer software and hardware into a building"s power structure. Electrical theory and terminology: electricity uses various sizes of wiring and circuitry to produce usable energy when it is tapped. Distribution of electricity: electricity is delivered by wiring into a building and connected to a service panel. It is then routed in designated circuits throughout the structure for various needs: electrical circuits that contain switches and convenience outlets in wet locations, such as bathrooms and outdoors, are termed ground fault circuit interrupter (gfci).
