After being hands-on in the trade for awhile, going to school helps electrical theory make more sense. You get to learn the code rules we have to follow as electricians like wire ampacity, pipe fill, and even the science behind electricity with magnetism, etc.

Why Do Electricians Use Higher Voltages than 120V

Mar 16, 2022 | Electrical Theory

Electricians use higher voltages to reduce current, which in turn allows for smaller wires. This saves money, and is much easier to install and maintain!
