Learn how to strip wires to expose copper and prepare them for splicing. You can use wire strippers, or some seasoned electricians just use their pliers for everything!

Learn how to strip NMD90 wire jacket (residential wire) the best way (in my opinion!) with no compromised conductors! Simply score the jacket, and near the end create a handle to peel it back and reveal the undamaged conductors!

Learn when to use residential and commercial wiring by determining its environment.. like fire-rating, mechanical damage, and many other factors.

A name plate identifies how to satisfy the electrical demand of equipment. It often clarifies VOLTAGE, AMPS, PHASE, Model and Serial Number, and Hertz (Frequency) of the electrical equipment.

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!

Panel schedules are what guide us as electricians on what tasks to accomplish next.
