Modular electrical system

Abstract

An electrical system comprised of modular components which quickly assemble to create common lighting and general utility electrical circuits. All wiring is completed in the electrical box prior to installing the electrical devices such as switches and receptacles, thereby eliminating the need for extra length wires in the electrical boxes and the timely, cumbersome wiring practices associated with conventional residential electrical circuits. The electrical devices plug into the prewired electrical box, thereby providing quick and easy removal and replacement of the device in the event of failure. The common residential lighting and general utility circuits are automatically configured by simply selecting the proper electrical components. A dedicated earth ground is automatically carried to each electrical component with no effort on the part of the installer, thereby providing safer electrical circuits. The cables have a specific exterior profile to insure proper connection with the electrical boxes, thereby assuring proper configuration of the electrical circuits. The electrical system also eliminates the need for wire nuts. The modular electrical components include the following: a wallbox (1), a receptacle module (2), a ganging module (3), a 2-way-switch module (4), a 3-way-switch module (5), a 4-way-switch module (6), a dimmer switch module (7), a fan-control switch module (8), a timer switch module (9), a GFCI-receptacle module (10), a 240-volt receptacle module (11), a junction box (12), a light box (13), a 2-wire jumper (14), a 4-wire jumper (15), a wallbox jumper (16), a 3-conductor cable (17), a 4-conductor cable (18), and a 5-conductor cable (19).
