    Schematic representation of measurement categories. Measurement category is a method of classification by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) [1] of live electric circuits used in measurement and testing of installations and equipment, usually in the relation within a building (residential or industrial).

    Wiring materials for use in the United States must generally be made and tested to product standards set by NEMA and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and must bear approval marks such as those set by UL. Approved wiring types can vary by jurisdiction. Not all wiring methods approved in the NEC are accepted in all areas of the United States.

    Household wiring does not usually use three-phase supplies and the clash only occurs in three-phase systems. Wiring to the old standard can be detected by use of a red wire. The new standard colour code does not use red. Where new wiring is mixed with old, cables must be clearly marked to prevent interchange of phase and neutral.

    Note the connection of the security system to the phone line requires a wiring configuration that allows the security system to disconnect all phones in the home when it needs to connect to the monitoring center. This is critical, if the wiring is not correct the system may not communicate back to base when an intrusion is detected.

    The angular frequency is related to the physical frequency, (unit: hertz), which represents the number of cycles per second, by the equation =. t {\displaystyle t} is the time (unit: second ). The peak-to-peak value of an AC voltage is defined as the difference between its positive peak and its negative peak.

    Installing electrical wiring by "chasing" grooves into the masonry structure of the walls of a building. Materials for wiring interior electrical systems in buildings vary depending on: Intended use and amount of power demand on the circuit; Type of occupancy and size of the building; National and local regulations
