Every now and then, a business customer wants to control a load or set of loads from a single location or a single switch. So what do they do? They call Sparks Electric, an Electrical Contractor in the city of Milwaukee, WI at 414-536-8500 to set up a free estimate for their electrical wiring needs. Controlling he loads from a single location could be at the circuit breaker panel if that is the best place to turn the loads on and off or at a low voltage switch controlling a (lighting) contactor.
An example might be a dozen or a panel full of lighting circuits in a commercial or industrial application. In that example, the circuit breakers could all be used to turn on or turn off the loads. Another application could be controlling the same lighting circuits at the entrance / exit door closest to the parking lot but far away from the circuit breaker panels or load centers. When the lighting panels are located close to the doors, that is convenient and also the cheapest method, this is usually how a space is designed and laid out when wiring. However, after one or two relocations or remodeling, things can change and sometimes the lighting is forgotten by the non electrical designer. One reason could be that the breaker panels are across the building or in a part of the building that might be less convenient to reach either first thing when the work week starts or the shift starts or maybe at the end of the work week or end of the work day. The single location for a low voltage switch near the entrance or exit could make turning the lights, or whatever load you may have, more convenient to access for the first person in and the last person out. SO that’s it in a nut shell, so first things first, call you favorite electrician and energize those lighting contactors. Sparks Electric has a web site at www.SparksElectric.com.
