As an electrician, I am responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining electrical systems to ensure safety and functionality such as:
Check if the panel has enough capacity for new circuits. Determine if an upgrade is needed to support 240V appliances.
Select the correct wire gauge. Route the wiring from the panel to the appliance location safely. Ensure proper grounding for safety.
Install a double-pole breaker. Ensure correct amperage and compatibility with the panel.
Install an AC disconnect switch (fused or non-fused, depending on local codes and unit requirements) is essential for safety and maintenance.
Run electrical conduit from the breaker panel to the disconnect switch.
Use a multimeter to check voltage and connections. Ensure the circuit is properly grounded.
Follow NEC (National Electrical Code) and local regulations. Provide permits and schedules inspections if required
