Were you the lucky recipient of a fabulous hot tub this holiday season? If so, you are probably eager to have it set up as soon as possible. It may be the middle of winter, but the California weather makes it the perfect time of year to enjoy the hot water while enjoying the brisk night air after a long day. It is a relaxing experience and you are likely eager to get to it. You will need to call a Burbank electrician to schedule your install appointment. The friendly team at The Electric Connection is on hand and ready to take your call.

It is imperative you do not try and install the hot tub by yourself. There are some technical things that must be done in order to install the hot tub properly. The first order of business is to have an electrician come out and check your electric panel to determine if you have the space needed to install an additional 240-volt outlet. That is what your hot tub will need to operate. If you don’t have the available space in your current electric panel for the additional breaker, you will need an electric panel upgrade. When the electrician does the initial inspection, he or she will let you know what you will need.

The hot tub will need to be hard-wired to your home’s main electric by an electrician. Burbank residents will also need to check with their county to determine what permits are needed for a hot tub installation. Depending on where you plan on placing the hot tub, the wiring from the hot tub to the home will need to buried. Keep this in mind as you decide where you want your hot tub. If you are ready to get your new hot tub up and running, give The Electric Connection a call today.

The controller keeps on monitoring the application requirement in a continuous control loop. It then commands the inverter to produce the required voltage and frequency to meet the application requirements. To do this, the controller, comprised of a microprocessor, takes the input signal from the sensor and compares this with a reference signal. It then generates the appropriate control signal for the inverter to vary its output power.

In a typical application, the controller will monitor process parameters such as pressure, flow rate, temperature or liquid level. For example, an oxygen sensor in a boiler provides a signal to adjust the speed of the fan and control the amount of oxygen in the boiler system.

Today’s drives, using microprocessors, semiconductor power switches, and SMDs are now smaller, compact, cheaper, more reliable and efficient. A typical drive will also include a filter to suppress harmonics generated when converting the DC to AC voltage.

Ceiling fans are sometimes looked over when decorating a home. Besides of freshening a room, fans complete a room design and composition. It’s important to understand how size and height affect the fan’s efficiency and overall look of a room. A ceiling fan that’s too big will overpower the room’s design and visually pull the ceiling downwards; a fan that’s too small won’t properly circulate the air.
