Here comes another eye-opener in the electrical wiring system. As technology brought about innovation on daily basis so also engineer should not fold there hands without making use of this innovation in areas that this can be applied.
I will be sharing information about the new upgrade in electrical wiring systems especially when it comes to requirements needed for installation.

Overview
In 1884, the first electrical switch was invented using quick and break technology by John Henry Holmer. As a result of frequent use of electrical tools in the construction field and in some offices, it is often necessary to make use of temporary flexible extension cords and hazards arise when the cords and the attached plugs and some other receptacles are utilized in an unsafe manner or sometimes the equipment plug by the extension cord does not receive adequate maintenance.
A receptacle is a device that is installed at the outlet of an electrical system for the connection of a single attachment plug, and from which electrical current is supplied to a piece of equipment or tool.
There are many new discoveries on the upgrading of electrical switches and other electrical components to meet up with new age system and technology trends. It is difficult to know what the future holds when it comes to commercial buildings. This is a fact as a result of innovation and upgrades on commercial buildings. Today it may be a conference room, but tomorrow it could be changed to multiple workstations but there is one reliable constant: unique power requirements.
The need of flexible solutions to satisfy this modern building's electrical requirements has made some industries to produce first of its kind technology with no preparing, stripping, looping or taping, these wiring devices can even be been install in less than one minute.
The PlugTail® wiring devices by Legrand is the new wiring devices technology with a product line that includes sensors, switches, standard and controlled receptacles, surge protector devices and USB charging receptacles.
The electrical wiring system is very important due to the fact that electricity is the most frequent causes of fires in homes and the workplace. The leading cause of fires is the use of defective electrical pieces of equipment, bad installations, low-quality materials and some other factors attached to the incorrect usage of equipment.
Sequel to the list of the product line mentioned, it is clearly known that PlugTail® wiring devices are equipped with safety components to protect any devices/equipment making use of the switch.
Let's look at the advantage PlugTail® wiring devices have brought to wiring technology that makes engineers and contractors recommend the device during construction, renovation and maintenance of a building.
When the production of a new device is going to emerge, it usually comes with an upgrade on the existing device with new features. The release of PlugTail device gives allowance for the contractors or electricians to layout a space knowing that every point of connection can be used for a standard switch today and a sensor tomorrow. The platform for PlugTail is ever ready due to the fact that its platform guarantees that wherever there is a pigtail connector, there can be any type of PlugTail wiring device at any point in time with minimal effort.
When it comes to commercial buildings, replacement or relocation of the device to be the plug on a socket is inevitable. Sometimes during rearrangement of the office space, it is required to rewire the power supply by a particular socket.
PlugTail offers the added benefit of minimal downtime due to simple installation, any device can be swapped out quickly and easily— meaning the facility can be up and running in no time as the requirements of the space change over time.
Many times building owners changes they want their space to be used after construction and this does give installer issue in rectification if the planning was not done from the beginning of the project. The uniqueness in PlugTail connector, provide limitless possibilities to building owners and this make the work of the builder more appreciated. From the perspective of specifiers in relation to pigtail connection via PlugTail wiring device, they were able more and better option to the owners of builders due to the fact that choice and change of how space will be used can look into during installation.
Note: PigTail in electrical wiring system is a cable connection that involves joining or looping of two or more cables you can check below reference for more details
With space usage changing so quickly, staying code compliant can be a constant challenge for everyone involved. Fortunately, all PlugTail devices meet Federal Specification and National Electrical Code® requirements.

The meetup standard by this wiring devices provides confidence to the electricians, specifiers and electrical contractors. On the other hand, it gives the building owners or business owner Peace of mind knowing that space may be used no matter the electrical changeouts, the code of conduct still duly followed.
While some products are better suited to particular environments, PlugTail is suitable for specification in all commercial spaces—offices, education, healthcare, manufacturing, you name it.
The seamlessly option of PlugTail fitness into construction process make it unique in its function and benefit.
The project execution comes with the creation of building electrical wiring plan by a specifier or electrician and once this is done, the building owners with the electrician or the specifier will look into it and this will aid an easy working together to install whatever devices best fit from the required space.
From my discovery and engagement, PlugTail® wiring devices marry well with all other products like plug load and USB devices, sensors, AFCI and GFCI receptacles and surge, protectors, this is just a few out of many products. This wiring device (PlugTail) build a platform for groundwork which thereby resulted to benefit in areas of flexibility, code-compliant, an electrical solution with cohesion and together with the option of energy-efficient upgrades.
In conclusion, electrical system innovative ideas are continuously increasing and this follows the important factor electricians, engineers, contractors, and specifier need to be on the lookout for new discoveries in the area of technology to make their project stand the test of time. PlugTail wiring devices is a new technology that provides solution stripping, looping and taping during installations.
You can watch the video below by one of the Electrical manufacturer Company called Legrand.
PlugTail an electrical wiring device that connects you to future.
Thank you
Your Sincerely
