conduct electricity around a building. It covers all of the
hard wiring in a building and includes items such as main
panels, distribution boards, lighting, socket outlets, air
conditioning and other fixed plant.
Competent - a person possessing sufficient technical
knowledge, relevant practical skills and experience for the
nature of electrical work undertaken and is able at all times
to prevent danger and, where appropriate, injury to
him/herself and others.
Purchase - A power purchase agreement (PPA), or
electricity power agreement, is a contract between two
parties, one which generates electricity (the seller) and one
which is looking to purchase electricity (the buyer).
Reputable - having a good reputation.
Splits or breaks - A split outlet is a duplex outlet, or
receptacle, with one half of the outlet that has power all the
time and one half that is controlled by a switch.
Flexes - A flex is an electric cable containing two or more
wires that is connected to an electrical appliance.
Clampled - a current clamp or current probe is
an electrical device with jaws which open to allow clamping
around an electrical conductor. Clamping voltage refers to
the maximum amount of voltage that can pass a surge
protector or electrical breaker before it restricts further
voltage from passing to a device or computer. It is a process
through which a device or equipment is protected
from electrical surges.
Faulty - a fault or fault current is any
abnormal electric current. For example, a short circuit is
a fault in which current bypasses the normal load. An open-
circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by some failure.
