Coming from an IT background to an AM transmitter site might leave you with a world of questions. Mark Persons explains the basics.

Simple electrical circuits are super cool, but simple series and parallel circuits are just the foundation of the much, much more complex circuits used in modern electronics.

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

Branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle must have an ampacity at least that of the rating of the circuit overcurrent device [210.3 and 210.19(A)(2)]. Branch circuit conductors that supply ...
