Basic Electrical Safety
Current For electrons to move in a particular direction, it is necessary for a potential difference to exist between two points of the EMF source. The continuous movement of electrons past a given point is known as current. It is measured in amperes. The symbol for current is the letter I and for amperes, the letter A.

If the current flowing into the circuit differs by a very small amount (as little as 0.006 amperes) from the returning current, the GFCI interrupts power faster than a blink of an

CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY OF COPPER CONDUCTORS
www.ee.nmt.eduCurrent carrying capacity is defined as the amperage a conductor can carry before melting either the conductor or the insulation. Heat, caused by an electrical current flowing through the conductor, will determine the amount of current a wire will handle.
