Terms in this set (17)
Equipment designed for a particular purpose (for example, using electricity to
produce heat, light, or mechanical motion) Appliances are usually self-contained,
Appliances
are generally available for applications other than industrial use, and are normally
produced in standard sizes or types.
A special conduit bushing equipped with a conductor terminal to accept a
bonding jumper. It also has a screw or other sharp device to bite into the
Bonding bushing
enclosure wall to bond the conduit to the enclosure without a jumper when there
are no concentric knockouts left in the wall of the enclosure.
A bare or green insulated conductor used to ensure the required electrical
conductivity between metal parts required to be electrically connected. Bonding
Bonding jumper jumpers are frequently used from a bonding bushing to the service-equipment
enclosure to provide a path around concentric knockouts in an enclosure wall,
and they may also be used to bond one raceway to another.
The portion of a wiring system extending beyond the final overcurrent device
Branch circuit
protecting a circuit
A circuit, such as conductors in conduit or a cable run, that carries current from
Feeder the service equipment to a subpanel or a branch circuit panel or to some point in
the wiring system
A type of panelboard that is normally located at the service entrance of a
Load center
residential installation. It sometimes contains the main disconnect.
A factory assembly of one or more insulated circuit conductors with or without
Metal-clad (Type MC) cable optical fiver members enclosed in an armor of interlocking metal tape, or a
smooth or corrugated metallic sheath
A factory-assembly of two or more insulated conductors enclosed within an
overall nonmetallic jacket. Type NM contains insulated conductors enclosed
within an overall nonmetallic jacket; Type NMC contains insulated enclosed within
Nonmetallic-sheathed (Type NM) cable
an overall, corrosion-resistant, nonmetallic jacket; and Type NMS contains
insulated power or control conductors with signaling, data, and communications
conductors within an overall nonmetallic jacket.
General Cable's trade name for Type NM cable; however, it is often used
Romex
generically to refer to any nonmetallic-sheathed cable
The first stage of an electrical installation, when the raceway, cable, wires, boxes,
Roughing in and other equipment are installed. This is the electrical work that must be done
before any finishing work can be done
