A diagram illustrating how to connect a router to a computer using Ethernet cables (specifically, CAT-5 cables) and showing the power connection. It serves as a visual guide for setting up a basic wired network connection.
Key Components and Connections:
1. Router:
* Labeled as "ROUTER" at the top.
* The diagram shows the back panel of the router, highlighting the ports.
* "INTERNET PORT (WAN)" Labeled. This is the port where the internet connection (usually from a modem) comes into the router.
* "LAN PORT" Labeled. The router has multiple (numbered 1-4 in this diagram) LAN ports, indicating it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
2. Computer:
* Shown as a desktop tower PC on the right side of the image.
* "NETWORK PORT" Labeled. This is the Ethernet port on the back of the computer.
3. CAT-5 Cables:
* Labeled as "CAT-5 CABLE". These are the Ethernet cables used to establish the network connections.
* One cable connects the "INTERNET PORT (WAN)" of the router to the "NETWORK OUTLET" which represents the connection to the wider internet (via a modem).
* Another cable connects one of the "LAN PORT" ports on the router to the "NETWORK PORT" on the computer.
4. Power Connections:
* "SURGE PROTECTOR" Labeled. The router and possibly the computer are connected to a surge protector, plugged into a power outlet.
* Power Outlet: A standard electrical outlet is shown.
5. Network Outlet:
* Labeled "NETWORK OUTLET". It represents the incoming internet connection point, which would then connect to a modem, and onward to the ISP.
In summary:
The diagram provides a simple, clear visual representation of how to physically connect a router and a computer for a wired network connection. It highlights the necessary components (router, computer, Ethernet cables) and their connections. It also emphasizes the importance of using a surge protector for electrical safety. The labels ensure that users can easily identify the correct ports and cables to use during setup.

Where to connect that "strange" black Conductor? Looks like the AWG size is way bigger than the others ...

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and B?

Spacers are a must!!!

The image is a diagram or illustration of a typical electrical wiring configuration for a standard duplex outlet. It highlights how the electrical wires are connected within a junction box.
Key Components and Features:
1. Outlet:
* It is a duplex outlet (two receptacles).
* It has a standard design with two slots for plugs.
* Screws are visible at the side and on the surface for wire connections.
2. Junction Box:
* The rectangular box houses the electrical connections.
* It is typically mounted inside the wall and provides a safe enclosure for the wires.
3. Wires:
* Hot Wires (Red and Black): These carry the electrical current from the power source. They are connected together in a wire nut, and a pigtail (a short length of wire) connects from this group to the outlet.
* Neutral Wires (White): These complete the circuit and return the current to the power source. They are connected together in a wire nut and another pigtail connects to the outlet.
* Ground Wires (Green or Bare Copper): These provide a path for electrical faults or shorts to ground, helping to prevent shocks. They are connected together in a wire nut, and a pigtail connects from this group to the outlet.
* "Existing Wires": These refer to the wires coming into the electrical box from elsewhere in the circuit.
4. Wire Nuts (or Wire Connectors):
* These are the red plastic caps seen on the ends of the wire bundles.
* They are used to securely connect multiple wires together, providing insulation and preventing exposed wires.
5. Pigtail:
* The short wire that runs from the wire nut to the outlet.
* This allows for multiple wires to be connected to the outlet without directly connecting them to the outlet screws.
Wiring Configuration:
* The diagram illustrates a parallel circuit. Each wire goes into an existing wire.
* The wires from the main power source (the "existing wires") are connected to the wires of the new outlet using pigtails.
* The wires are labelled for easier understanding: Hot, Neutral, and Ground.
Overall Function:
The image demonstrates how an outlet is wired into an existing circuit to provide power to electrical devices. The wire nuts and ground wire ensure a safe and reliable electrical connection.

What do you think about this new model Tronic phase switcher? 🤔

Customer " The people that installed this told me if it got over 100° to just crack the hatch open." 👀

Which is best?

Voltage Regulator Using Resistors...

POV: You try to get fancy with your conduit bends and immediately regret every decision that led to this moment 😭
Should’ve just done straight 90/90s the whole way like a normal person. This swoopy situation was definitely not the plan.
Tinners and the building owner still liked it though, so I’m calling it a win. Sometimes the “oops” route works out ⚡
