Hi matt great electrical repair question.
Three wire electrical systems.
Three wire systems llc three wire has been recognized for its outstanding service as a veteran owned business in the greater washington area by the washington business journal s 2020 veterans in business awards.
Three wire system thrē wir sis təm electricity system of electric supply comprising three conductors one of which known as the neutral wire is maintained at a potential midway between the potential of the other two referred to as the outer conductors.
The 3 wire system is less common than the 2 wire system it includes a neutral at the switch as well as the live and switched live wires.
It is the alternating current ac equivalent of the original edison machine works three wire direct current system.
Three wire electrical systems minimize the risk of electric shock.
Three phase electric power is a common method of alternating current electric power generation transmission and distribution.
A three wire three phase circuit is usually more economical than an equivalent two wire.
It all depends on what you are wiring and what the electrical application will be.

An example of a 3 wire lighting circuit is shown in figure 2.
Having a ground wire is very important and has been required as a safety feature since the early 1960s.
Its primary advantage is that it saves conductor material over a single ended single phase system while only requiring a single phase on the supply side of the distribution.
