At least 40 questions relevant to a building need to be answered. Building electric system What’s the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker? Fuses and circuit breakers are both found in the electrical panel (or sub-panel) of a house. They both serve the purpose of cutting the flow of electricity when a circuit gets overloaded—a potentially dangerous situation. Circuit breakers will be found in most houses built after the 1960s or in older buildings that have had their electrical systems upgraded. Fuses have a thin strip of metal that literally blows when there’s too much electricity flowing through it. When this happens, the fuse needs to be taken out and replaced. Since the 1960s circuit breakers have been used instead of fuses. They are more convenient, as they just need to be flipped back on if they are tripped. Unlike a fuse, they don’t need to be replaced. Both circuit breakers and fuses are rated according to how much electricity can flow through them before they trip and shut down the circuit. A 15- or 20-amp fuse is typical for regular light fixtures and such. If the right fuse or circuit breaker isn’t used, it can cause a dangerous situation. Clearly, if a fuse or circuit breaker becomes problematic, an electrician should be called in to look at it. Building electric system Here are further guidelines.

Continuity 2. Voltage 3. Amperage Did the maintenance engineer test the electric appliance (electric stove) fault/problem with a scientific method? No. How did the maintenance engineer test the electric appliance (electric stove) fault/problem? He did not utilize any equipment to test 1. Continuity 2. Voltage 3. Amperage How should the maintenance engineer have tested the electric appliance (electric stove) fault/problem by a scientific method? He should have tested for continuity, voltage, and amperage of the electric appliance (electric stove). What are Watts? A Watt is a unit describing the instantanious power that an appliance is drawing at any one moment. 
A Watt is a measure of electric power that depends on amps and volts. The bulb in the middle makes the most light because it uses more watts than the other two. But notice that the bulb on the right is using the same amount of power as the bulb on the left, even though it's using only half of the current. Watts = Volts x Amps How is Electricity Measured? Understanding Watts, Megawatts, Kilowatt-hours, and More Watts are a measurement of power, describing the rate at which electricity is being used at a specific moment. For example, a 15-watt LED light bulb draws 15 watts of electricity at any moment when turned on. Watt-hours are a measurement of energy, describing the total amount of electricity used over time. Watt-hours are a combination of how fast the electricity is used (watts) and the length of time it is used (hours). For example, a 15-watt light bulb, which draws 15 watts at any one moment, uses 15 watt-hours of electricity in the course of one hour. Kilowatts and kilowatt-hours are useful for measuring amounts of electricity used by large appliances and by households. Kilowatt-hours are what show up on your electricity bill, describing how much electricity you have used. One kilowatt (kW) equals 1,000 watts, and one kilowatt-hour (kWh) is one hour of using electricity at a rate of 1,000 watts. New, energy-efficient refrigerators use about 300-400 kilowatt-hours per year. The typical American home uses about 7,200 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. Megawatts are used to measure the output of a power plant or the amount of electricity required by an entire city. One megawatt (MW) = 1,000 kilowatts = 1,000,000 watts. For example, a typical coal plant is about 600 MW in size. Gigawatts measure the capacity of large power plants or of many plants. One gigawatt (GW) = 1,000 megawatts = 1 billion watts. In 2012, the total capacity of U.S. electricity generating plants was approximately 1,100 GW. How much electricity do household items use?
