You install a temporary jumper, and you work the circuit hot. Most utility line workers do this as a matter of routine.

Are all electric wires in a house metal?
Yes. Conducting carbon and plastic cannot cope with the current.
Why is your 1997 Chevy s10 arching up the tube on the coil back to the metal on the coil?
To much resistance in the spark plug wires, replace the spark plug wires.
Why dont phase and neutral exchange?
Phase wires are "hot" wires and are the current-carrying conductors. (These are the wires that will shock you if you touch them.). The neutral wire is basically there to carry the electricity back to the source. It is not normally considered current-carrying. If you switch these two wires, you might energize the metal of equipment, causing a dangerous shock hazard.
How do you apply Ohm's law to a toaster?
The wires in a toaster are composed of a metal that heats up when you pass a current through the wires. The voltage, current and resistance for the toaster obey Ohm's Law (Voltage = Current x Resistance). When the wires heat up this heat causes the bread to toast. The toast is not part of the circuit and is not involved in Ohm's Law.
The defroster of you car is a pattern of thin metal strips across the glassWhy are there wires conected to both ends of metal strips?
This is to provide electrical current to heat the thin strips.
How does plastic over metal wires prevent being electrocuted?
Plastic is a bad conductor of electricity. Metals are good conductors of electricity. You get the metal wires coated by plastic. So when you touch the wire, you do not get the electric current. This nature of the plastic protects you from getting electrocuted.
How an electric current is produced?
When charges (means charged bodies) move , then we say that an electric current is produced. If charges remain at rest, current is zero. If charge Q moves through a metal in time t , then current I through metal is: I=Q/t; moreever, electric current can also be produced by rate of change of magnetic field through a metal...,
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
What within a cell causes the charge that allows electricity to flow through wires?
Corrosion of the metal plates in the battery cells drive current flow.
What are thin wires made out of?
metal if its not metal than its not a wire
Replace the headlights on a jaguar x type?
I hope you are talking about the headlight bulb and not the headlight assembly. On my 2003 X-Type, I first pop the hood up. You will see a black plastic cover behind the headlight. There is a metal latch that holds the cover. Pull the metal latch to losen and remove the black cover. Careful, the metal latch may drop off the black plastic. Now you have access to the headlight bulb. There are two metal wires hoilding the light bulb. Unhook the metal wires, replace the bulb, and hook it back in place. Good luck!
Is wire metal non metal?
The wires themselves are usually made of a metal such as copper.
