Can the ground wire from two separate circuits (one 20-amp one 15 amp) be shared?
GLMSW
There wasn't room for more details: I know they're shared on the bus bar. I meant to ask if they can be connected in the junction box? I found a jct box with the two circuits. They are completely separate except for the grounding conductor/ground wire, which are connected. This is because the 15-amp has armored BX and junctions with 14-2 romex, so the ground for the romex connects with the ground for the 12-2/20-amp. Thanks.

∙ 8y agoThe two ground wires should be shared but at the distribution panel. This sharing is done on the panel's ground bus bar. Where the load feeder from the breaker leaves the panel, its ground wire is connected to the ground bus and then the other end it is connected to the load's ground terminal.

∙ 8y agoYes, the grounds can be shared. All the grounds in the service panel are connected together.

Can you use 14-3 wire on a 20amp breaker?
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?
Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.
Can 3.55 watt oven run on 20amp hard wire?
To answer this question the voltage of the oven must be stated. Also double check on the wattage of the oven 3.55 watts seems low. Maybe it should be 3.55 kWs. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many 20amp outlets in commercial building per circuit?
All depends on how big your main breaker is and what size wire you are using,one 20 amp outlet needs #12 wire not more than 50feet away from main breaker
What size wire to use for a 800 ft run on 20amp circuit?
To answer this question you have to know the voltage and load type. If this was a 110 Volt lighting application 12-2 should work. If this was a 220 Volt motor load 10-2 might be a better choice. Copper wire 120 volts #6, at 240 volts #8. Aluminium wire 120 volts #4, at 240 volts #6. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What type of circuit has double 20amp breaker going to a separate box at that separate box there is a well pump with another 20amp breaker to that?
Sounds like a 240 volt sub panel feeding a well pump.

Can you plug a motion detector light into an outlet?
Yes of course, power is power, all 110volt, what ever the source in your house (except a dryer circuit that is usually higher). The difference is the amperage of the circuit. Lighting circuits have amperage controlling breakers that are usually 15amp, power circuits are usually 20amp but excepting a very very unusual condition you would not need to worry about it.
Radio doesnt turn on 1995 dodge caravan?
The radio is almost always on a separate fuse. Usually it is a 15amp fuse. Sometimes a 20amp. Depends on the sound system. If this isn't it then your radio has probably died. It happens. Hope this helps you. Brad.
