Tie all White wires together.

Tie the Grounds together and connect them to the ground screw on two switches.

Create a pigtail with TWO black wires coming out.

Connect a black wire to each of the two switches. (you pick which screw, but be consistent.

Connect the black wire from the light to the remaining screw on one of the switches.

Connect the black wire from the fan to the remaining screw on the OTHER switch.

Where do I ground if there is No ground coming out of the box?

The question doesn't say what "the box" refers-to: is it a wall box for a socket outlet or is it for a switch - or is it actually the main circuit breaker panel for the building or apartment?You can add a safety ground wire to any wall box - to connect appliances back to the ground on main breaker panel - only if there is a main grounding wire installed at your main breaker panel.You can't add a safety ground wire to any wall box, to connect appliances back to the main breaker panel, if you don't already have a ground wire installed at your main breaker panel. If that is the case, your wiring must be at least 50 years old. It is time to consult with an electrician...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 is the difference between a differential circuit breaker and a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker is a device that opens its contacts in order to open the circuit in case of current overload. A differential circuit breaker is a device that opens the circuit in case of leakage (current measured on the phase line is differentthan the current returned to neutral line); therefore protects users from electric shocks.To more understand how it operates, consider the following:Say that your electrical wall outlet is connected to a differential breaker. When plugging let's say a hair dryer to it, the current traveling on the phase line (going into the hair dryer and out to the neutral line of the wall outlet) equals but in reverse direction of the current returned to the neutral line, thus the difference is zero. Now let's say this hair dryer got faulty and fraction of the current coming from the outlet phase line travels through your body and return to earth (considering that you are not electrically isolated from the ground). Thus the current in neutral line is less than the current on phase line; at this moment the difference is not zero and breaker opens to protect you from getting electrocuted.


What do you use a clamp meter for?

The clamp part is for measuring amps via induction. You set meter to amps and clamp around only a single wire. Device you are measuring must be operating. This means you couldn't clamp around a lamp cord to a table lamp since the current induced in each direction cancels out. You would have to separate the wires. An electrician would carry a short extension cord with the wires already separated. Most often a clamp meter is use to checks amps in a breaker panel on the black wire coming from the breaker.
