Electrical Terminology: G
1. Generator: Generators are standby devices that can supply electricity to your home during #poweroutages. During a power outage, it allows you to continue to operate essential appliances such as refrigerators, computers, heating and cooling systems, and lighting. Home generators can be either portable or stationary. The main differences between stationary and portable models are in their connection and activation.
2. GFCI – Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter: #Groundfault circuit interrupters work by constantly monitoring the amount of current running through a circuit and cut power to the circuit when tripped by an overload. The instant that the current level returning from the circuit drops below the level going out, the GFCI trips and cuts off the power.
3. Ground/Grounding/Grounded: To "ground" electricity refers to the effective and safe way to route electricity back to the ground. This means that excess electricity has somewhere to go.
