A heating system in which electric resistance is used to produce heat which radiates to nearby surfaces. There is no fan component to a radiant heating system.
Electric rate
The unit price and quantity to which it applies as specified in a rate schedule or contract.
Electric rate schedule
A statement of the electric rate and the terms and conditions governing its application, including attendant contract terms and conditions that have been accepted by a regulatory body with appropriate oversight authority.
Electric resistance heater
A device that produces heat through electric resistance. For example, an electric current is run through a wire coil with a relatively high electric resistance, thereby converting the electric energy into heat which can be transferred to the space by fans.
Electric resistance weld (erw)
Most common form of manufacture for pipes 2 3/8" to 22" in diameter.
Electric screwdriver
Most electrically operated screwdrivers are cordless and operate on rechargeable batteries and come in a variety of speeds and are either pistol shaped or appear like manual screwdrivers. Pricier models have greater torque and variable speeds.
Electric service
Electric power supplied by a utility, which may be any of three capacities, and is either overhead on poles or buried in the ground. 1. Two-Wire 115-volt service, one of the conductors is connected to the assorted electrical devices. (2) Two-Wire 230 volt service, both wires are connected to the electrical item. (3) Three-Wire 115/230-volt service.
Electric service panel
Panel used to transfer power from the utility line going into a house for distribution through fuses or circuit breakers.
Electric shock
Electrical current flowing through the body of a living being.
Electric system
The physically connected generation, transmission, and distribution facilities and components operated as a unit.
