Imboni kagesi ihlala ithuthuka, futhi ukuhambisana namazinga amasha okuphepha akuxoxiswana ngakho kunoma yimuphi umfaki ochwepheshile, umphathi wezindawo, noma umklami wezogesi wezentengiselwano. Olunye lwezinguquko ezinzima kodwa ezinomthelela omkhulu ku-2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) kuhilela ukwethulwa kwesilinganiso esisemthethweni se-10A branch circuit. Lokhu kuvuselelwa, okuchazwe ngemininingwane ku-Article 210, kwakha isigaba esisha samasekhethi amandla aphansi abekade efakwa ezilinganisweni ze-15A noma ze-20A, kunikeza isixazululo esikhethekile sezinhlelo ezithile ezinomthwalo ophansi. Ezinhlanganweni ezinjengeShenzhen Huachuan Hi-Tech Electronics, umhlinzeki ophambili wezixazululo zokuvikela imijikelezo ye-Eaton Bussmann, ukuqonda lolu shintsho kubalulekile ekucaciseni izingxenye ezifanele. Lo mhlahlandlela uzochaza imininingwane yobuchwepheshe ye-10A branch circuit, uhlole izinguquko ezibalulekile zekhodi, futhi ubonise ukuthi izingxenye zekhwalithi ephezulu zingaqinisekisa kokubili ukuhambisana nokwethembeka kokusebenza. Noma ngabe uklama i-multi wire branch circuit yehhovisi noma ukhetha i-branch circuit wire yesistimu yezinhlekelele ezinikezelwe, lezi zinguquko zidinga ukunaka kwakho. Ekupheleni kwalesi sihloko, uzobe unomzila ocacile wokuqalisa ama-10A branch circuits ngokuphepha nangempumelelo, usekelwa yizingxenye zobuchwepheshe nesiqondiso sobuchwepheshe esivela ku-Huachuan Hi-Tech.

Uhlelo lwango-2023 lwe-NEC luphawula ukuguquka okukhulu ezimisweni zangaphambilini ngokuqashela ngokusemthethweni isilinganiso samandla angu-10 ampere emijikelezweni yamagatsha ngaphakathi kweSigaba 210.23. Ngokomlando, umthetho wawugxile kakhulu ezilinganisweni zangu-15A, 20A, 30A, nangaphezulu, ushiya igebe emijikelezweni enamandla aphansi kakhulu evame ukudinga izintambo ezakhiwe ngokweqile nokuvikelwa ngokweqile kokugcwala kwamandla. Ukuhlukaniswa okusha komjikelezo wamagatsha ongu-10A kuklanyelwe kuphela imithwalo engadluli ku-10 amperes futhi engenhloso yokuhlinzeka izindawo zokuxhuma ezijwayelekile ezindlini noma ezindaweni zentengiselwano. Lolu shintsho luhambisana nesidingo esikhulayo somkhakha sokusebenza kahle kwamandla nokufanisa umthwalo ngokunembile, ikakhulukazi njengoba izibani ze-LED, amaphaneli okulawula, nezinzwa zamandla aphansi ziba yinto evamile. Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi umthetho uvimbela ngokusobala ukusetshenziswa komjikelezo wamagatsha ongu-10A kunoma iyiphi indawo yokuxhuma engase isetshenziselwe imishini exhunywa ngentambo nopulaki, ngaphandle uma indawo yokuxhuma iyingxenye yomshini ngokwawo. Lokhu kuvinjelwa kuqinisekisa ukuthi umjikelezo ugcinelwe ukufakwa okukhethekile, okungaguquki lapho umthwalo waziwa futhi uzinzile, kunciphisa ubungozi bokugcwala ngokweqile ngabasebenzisi abangaqeqeshiwe.

Isizathu salesibuyekezo sivela ezimweni zangempela lapho imithwalo yokukhanyisa kumjikelezo we-15A ivamise ukufinyelela ngaphansi kwe-5A, kumosha ithusi namandla e-breaker. Ngokuvumela isilinganiso se-10A ngokusebenzisa imithetho ye-nec 430.52 yokwehlukaniswa kwemishini ethile, ikhodi ivumela ukuklanywa okunemininingwane eminingi. Isibonelo, uphawu olukhulu lwe-LED lwezentengiselwano olunamandla nge-driver engu-0.5A manje lungasetshenziswa ngomjikelezo wegatsha we-10A olinganiselwe kahle ngaphandle kokudinga i-breaker engu-15A enganikezi inzuzo eyengeziwe yokuphepha. Lokhu futhi kuthinta izibalo zobukhulu be-feeder kanye nokwehla kwamandla kagesi, ngoba izintambo ezincane ngezinye izikhathi zingasetshenziswa lapho ukuqinisekiswa komthwalo okuqinile kusetshenziswa. Noma kunjalo, onjiniyela kumele baqaphele ngemithetho ye-tap kanye nezici zokwehlisa amandla lapho behlanganisa imishini eminingi enomthwalo ophansi kumjikelezo owodwa. Isilinganiso se-10A akusilo ilayisensi yokunciphisa ubukhulu bensimbi ngokungahleliwe; kunalokho, iyithuluzi elinembile lokufanisa ukuvikelwa nomthwalo. Lapho uklama umjikelezo wegatsha elinezintambo eziningi oluhlanganisa i-neutral ehlanganyelwe yezigaba ezimbili ze-10A, ukunaka okucophelelayo kweSigaba 300.13(B) kuyadingeka ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuqhubeka nokuphepha.

Enye yomehluko obaluleke kakhulu ku-NEC ka-2023 ukucaciswa okusobala kokuthi i-circuit yegatsha engu-10A ingasetshenziswa kuphi. Ikhodi ivumela lezi zifunda zikagesi zokusetshenziswa ezintweni ezihlala zikhona zokushisisa indawo ngogesi, izinjini ezixhunywe ngokwe-NEC 430.52, kanye nemithwalo yokukhanyisa ekhethekile njengokukhanyisa kwe-LED track ezibukisweni zezitolo. Iphinde ivumele amaphaneli okulawula izimiso zomlilo, amasistimu okuphepha, kanye neminye imishini enamandla aphansi exhunywe unomphela engadluli umkhawulo wama-10A. Nokho, ikhodi icacisa ngokungagwegwesiyo ukuthi izifunda zikagesi ezingama-10A azivunyelwe ukunikeza amapoyinti ajwayelekile ezindlini zokupheka, ezindaweni zokuhlala, noma ezindlini zokugezela, noma ezindaweni zezentengiselwano lapho kudingeka khona amapoyinti ajwayelekile ngokwe-210.52. Lesi yisinyathelo sokuphepha esihlosiwe ukuvimbela abasebenzisi ukuthi baxhume imishini edonsa amandla amakhulu njengama-vacuum, izifudumezi zendawo, noma amathuluzi kagesi kumjikelezo ongakwazi ukumelana nokwenyuka kwamandla. I-NEC iphinde ivimbele izifunda ezingama-10A ukuthi zingasetshenziselwa amapoyinti ezinto zikagesi ezindlini zokuwasha noma ezindlini zokupaka izimoto, lapho amandla aphezulu eyinkambiso eyamukelekile.

Enye into ebalulekile okumele iqashelwe ukuthi isilinganiso se-10A sisebenza kukho kokubili idivayisi yokuvikela ukugcwala kagesi kanye namandla okuthwala kwentambo, okusho ukuthi wonke umjikelezo wegatsha kufanele ulinganiswe ukuthi usebenze ngokuqhubekayo nge-10A. Lokhu kufaka nentambo yomjikelezo wegatsha, okufanele ibe namandla okuthwala okungenani angu-10A ngaphambi kokuba kusetshenziswe izici zokwehlisa isilinganiso. Ngokomkhuba, lokhu ngokuvamile kusho ukusebenzisa intambo yethusi engu-14 AWG njengobuncane, nakuba amasayizi amancane kungenzeka avunyelwe ngaphansi kwesandla sochwepheshe kanye nokuhambisana ngokugcwele no-310.15(B). Kubafaki, lokhu kwenza ukukhetha kwezinto kube lula ngoba i-14 AWG isivele ijwayelekile emijikelezweni yokukhanyisa. Kodwa-ke, uma umjikelezo ungaphansi kwezinga lokushisa eliphezulu noma kunezintambo ezingaphezu kwezintathu ezithwala umsinga endleleni yezintambo, ukwehliswa kwesilinganiso kungase kuphoqe ukuthi kushintshelwe ku-12 AWG noma kunjalo. Kufanele futhi kuqashelwe ukuthi i-NEC ayidingi ukuthi imijikelezo yegatsha engu-10A ibe nombala othile wezibhili zokuvikela, kodwa abakhiqizi abaningi sebeqala ukwethula izibhili ezilinganiswe nge-10A ezinophawu oluhlukile ukuze kugwenywe ukudideka namadivayisi ajwayelekile angu-15A noma angu-20A. Lapho kwakhiwa umjikelezo wegatsha wezintambo eziningi osebenzisa izibhili ezimbili ezingama-10A ezigabeni eziphambene zabelana ngentambo engathathi hlangothi, leyo ntambo engathathi hlangothi kufanele ilinganiswe ngokwesamba semithwalo, njengoba kushiwo ku-215.2.
