The Symbol of a Fuse

The symbol of a fuse is one of the most commonly used elements in electrical and electronic diagrams. Fuses are used in electronics involving a few volts, as well as in low voltage (120/220V) circuits, and are even employed in medium voltage (over 13,000V) and high voltage (over 60,000V) systems. This article showcases some of … Read more

Calculate conduit size (electrical conduit sizing).

In this article, we explain how to use NOM-001-SEDE-2012 to calculate conduit size dimensions based on the number of wires, their gauge, and the type of insulation they use. To calculate conduit size dimensions according to NOM-001-SEDE-2012 in Mexico, you first need to understand some basic concepts related to conduit capacity for housing electrical conductors … Read more

Electrical conductor size.

In this article, we show a guide for selecting the appropriate electrical conductor size according to the NEC (National Electrical Code), based on the load’s amperage. Determine the Load’s Amperage Identify the current (in amperes) required by your load. This can be found in the equipment specifications from the manufacturer or calculated based on the … Read more
