Household wiring: In household wiring systems, the various electrical devices are connected in
parallel across the power line, which consists of a pair of conductors, one hot and the other
neutral. An additional ground wire is included for safety. The maximum permissible current
in a circuit is determined by the size of the wires and the maximum temperature they can tolerate.
Protection against excessive current and the resulting re hazard is provided by fuses or circuit
breakers. (See Example 26.14.)
