Yes as long as you stay within your local code. Usually a combination of lights and receptacles cannot exceed ten total. Do not wire any light to a circuit that requires a dedicated circuit, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.
It is often necessary to wire crossing
I do not believe any lighting fixtures of any voltage have ever been made to work off of three-phase circuits. Light Fixtures are always single-phase 2-wire circuits In the USA the standard voltages for branch circuits are: 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 The light fixture must be rated to match whichever field voltage is being used. Some light fixtures are made multi-rated so they can be used on more than one circuit voltage
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.
The "correct" answer is, wire in more circuits with more outlets. There may be several ways to work around the issue, but the best and safest is to add circuits rather than using plug strips and extension cords.
Can be. Wire wound resistors might take more power, or offer better precision, or custom resistance values. Wherever, whenever those features are desirable, whether its a series or parallell circuit, a wire wound resistor might be used.
Usually 15A or 20A, but it depends on the wire used.
No, you can never mix wire sizes in a circuit.
Yes, the feeder will have to be a three wire cable.
An engineered set of blueprints will have all of the pertinent information about circuit loading and circuit numbers and panel balancing already calculated. If there is no wiring schedule on the print then you refer to the electrical code book and abide by the regulations that are set out for circuit loading and the amount of devices that can be connected to that circuit. Single family dwelling: multiply the number of square feet by 3. So a 2500 sq ft home times 3 = 7500 watts. Divide that number by 1500 for #14 wire circuits or 2000 for #12 wire circuits. 7500 divided by 1500 = 5 #14 wire circuits or if divided by 2000 + 3.75 or 4 #12 wire circuits. This would be for the lighting load and general use receptacles through out the home. I always lay my circuits out where a circuit only covers 500 sq ft of the dwelling.
The most common wire ran in 120v residential is NM (Non-metallic) sheathed wire such as the brand Romex. 14 gauge wire generally has a white sheathing and can be used on 15 amp circuits such as lighting. 12 gauge wire is thicker, generally having a yellow sheathing and can be used on 20 amp circuits such as those serving receptacles. Considering future demands, 12 gauge wire should be used. Under no circumstances should you ever use 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit.
There are two circuits on the battery and motor. One wire is take which have four ends. The wire is connected on the desired circuits.
It is used as a hot wire. <<>> In a three conductor cable set the third wire colour is red. In home wiring a three wire cable is used in a couple of locations. If the circuit involves a three way switching circuit, the cable between the two light junction boxes is fed with a three wire cable. Check the Internet for three way lighting connections. The other location a three wire cable is used is in split circuitry. Your kitchen counter receptacles use this method of wiring. The tie bar in the receptacle is removed on the hot (brass colour) side of the receptacle and the red wire is connected to the top brass screw and the black wire is then connected to the bottom brass screw of the receptacle. The white wire, as always, is connected to the silver coloured screw of the receptacle. Another example of using a three wire cable is to take two circuits from the distribution panel to two separate circuits on the other side of the house instead of running two, two wire circuits. The three wire cable is terminated in a junction box and two two wire circuits are feed from this junction box to the circuits that require power. The two two wire circuits will use the white wire of the three wire cable as a common neutral.
For branch circuits (receptacles, lighting, etc.) you would use 14 gauge wire if the circuit breaker is rated for 15 amps. For 20 amp circuits, you would use 12 gauge wire. For built-in appliances such as stoves, ovens, dryers and air conditioners, the wire size depends on the specific appliance and must be determined on a case-by-case basis. The incoming power to the house (service entrance) likewise must be calculated for each house and depends on the service size.
A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C are both rated at 85 amps.
Pendant lighting is a choice of lighting in which the lighting actually suspends from the ceiling on a wire like fixture and then is usually concealed into a pendant covering.
