Can you wire a four way switch with two pairs of two wire?

Yes. You have 2 wires (plus ground) coming from the previous switch in the circuit and 2 wires (plus ground) going to the next switch in the circuit. If you have a neutral, or if you have a switch leg, which would be the conductor from the last switch in the circuit to the equipment being powered, you will need 3 or 4 conductors (plus ground).


What adapters do you need to plug your 240V Ac plug into a 110V AC supply?

There are no adptors to plug a 240v plug into a 120v receptacle. 240v requires two hot wores and a neutral and ground. 120v requires one hot wire, a neutral and a ground. If you have something that runs on 240/120 you need the cord and adaptor that came with the equipment as you willl need the wires to mate up accordingly.


How do you wire an older 2 wire 30 amp compressor to a 3 wire 30 amp dryer plug?

I am guessing that the dryer is 220-240 VAC as is the compressor. I also assume that the third wire on the dryer is a ground. You need to make sure that the metal chassis on the compressor is not connected to the two wires. You then need to create a covered junction box where you have the two existing wires and a ground wire that you connect to the compressor metal chassis with a screw type connector. Ground wire should be 10 AWG. Now you have three wires. Connect the two hot wires of supply to two original wires on compressor and ground wire to the chassis ground.


Does a wire have to be insulated for electricity to flow?

No, overhead primary wires have no insulation on them and they carry the electricity to the consumers very well. Wires with no insulation on them just need more clearance space around them and between them to prevent the wires from short circuiting to each other or to ground.


Do I need two ground wires -one for each socket- if I split an outlet?

No. You can split the hot feeds and you can split the neutral feed, but both outlets of a standard duplex receptacle share the ground.

How do you reset a GFI?

To reset a GFCI you need to first correct any ground faults in the circuit - or some other other fault in the equipment and/or its flexible cord and/or its plug - being protected by the GFCI, which is causing an imbalance in the currents flowing in the hot and neutral wires. Ground faults are usually caused by wet electrical equipment. Then you need to press the RESET button on the GFCI.

What is reverse protectism?

All batteries have two terminals, one positive and one negative, and usually they need to be hooked up right for the equipment to work. Some equipment will be damaged if you hook the battery up the wrong way - reverse polarity. Equipment that has reverse polarity protection has something in them which makes them able to stand being hooked up wrong w/o being damaged.


Your trailer plug on your Chevy truck does not work you need a diagram so you can make sure all your wires are hooked up properly?

I don't have a diagram, but here's the colors of the wires and where they go and do. WHITE wire is the ground. GREEN wire is the right turning singal. Yellow wire is the left turning singal. BROWN wire is the running lights. BLACK wire is the brake lights.
