Highervoltage.net is proud to be part of the StrongMocha News Group. A team of subject‑matter experts and editors from StrongMocha has moved over to help build and grow this new site—bringing a proven editorial process, rigorous fact‑checking, and a passion for making complex topics understandable.
Our Mission
To demystify electricity for everyday people and professionals alike—empowering our readers to plan, maintain, and use electrical systems safely, responsibly, and confidently.
We do this by:
- Explaining the why behind the rules and best practices
- Turning standards and specs into step‑by‑step logic you can follow
- Prioritizing safety, accuracy, and clarity in every guide
What We Focus On
We cover the full spectrum of practical power topics for U.S. homes and small shops:
- Safety & Codes – Grounding vs bonding, GFCI/AFCI protection, homeowner‑friendly NEC concepts
- Home Electrical Basics – Volts, amps, watts, circuits, panels, load math
- Wiring & Installation Concepts – Wire sizing, box fill, conduit basics, labeling and documentation
- Troubleshooting & Diagnostics – Logical workflows and instrument fundamentals
- Outage & Backup Planning – Transfer methods, load prioritization, reliability checklists
- Solar & Renewable Energy – PV fundamentals, stringing and shading, rapid shutdown, monitoring
- Batteries & Storage – Chemistry differences, BMS basics, charge profiles, safety
- EV Charging & Mobility – Levels, connectors, circuit sizing, load sharing, best‑practice placement
- Tools & Test Equipment – Safe use of meters, clamps, testers, and interpretation of readings
- Smart Home & Efficiency – Energy monitoring, schedules, automations, demand management
How We Work
- Editorial First: Every article starts with a clear problem statement, plain‑language definitions, and real‑world examples.
- Standards‑Aware: We reference widely adopted standards and reputable guidance (e.g., NEC concepts, manufacturer instructions, utility best practices) and explain them in accessible terms.
- Safety‑Centric: We emphasize risk awareness, safe work boundaries, and decision points where a licensed electrician is the right choice.
- Iterative & Living: Electrical knowledge evolves. We revisit and refine our guides as codes, technologies, and best practices change.
- Transparency: We distinguish facts, rules of thumb, and judgment calls—so you know what’s certain and what depends on context.
Our Editorial Values
- Clarity over jargon – We define terms and avoid alphabet soup.
- Evidence over opinions – Claims are explained, not asserted.
- Safety over shortcuts – If a faster route is risky, we say so.
- Respect for readers – Beginners and experts are both welcome here.
