Installing new circuits and outlets can also be a bit daunting. Load calculations make sure that the new circuit can handle the electrical demand without overloading the system. Overloading the system can look like breakers tripping, electrical shorts, or potentially electrical fires. This process involves adding up the wattage of all devices on the circuit and ensuring it does not exceed 80% of the circuit breaker’s capacity. Circuit mapping helps identify where new outlets should be placed and how they integrate with existing circuits, preventing potential overloads.
