Can you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit?

Yes, you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit.


How do you wire a double outlet to a lightswitch?

Bring power into the switch box with a 12/2 or 14/2 wire and send power from there to the wall outlet with another 12/2 or 14/2 wire depending on the circuit. 12/2 for 20 amp and 14/2 for 15 amp circuit. You will now have 2 sets of wires in the switch box. Connect all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all the ground wires together and attach them to the green ground screw on the switch. Connect the black wire from the power source to one of the screws on the switch, does not matter which one. Then connect the black wire going to the outlet to the other screw on the switch. Put the switch back in the box and install the cover. At the wall outlet connect the ground to green ground screw, white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw on one of the outlets. Run 3jumper wires from all three of those screws to the other outlet in the box. Ground to ground, black to gold, and white to silver screws. Put it in the box and install the cover.How_do_you_wire_a_outlet_to_work_from_a_light_switch


How do you install a 20 amp switch for well pump?

Black/White/Ground power in and the same out. Tie the incoming and outgoing white wires together under a yellow wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the ground wires together under a green wire nut and connect the pigtail from those ground wires to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Doesn't matter which black wire you connect to which screw.


How do you install a dimmer switch for multi fixtures where the original switch has 2 black wires and one red with no green?

This simple if you have two switches controlling a set of light you will need to buy a three way switch. A three way switch will have a place for three connection. Depending on what brand of switch you purchase the directions will be sightly different but most dimmer come with detailed directions and diagrams. When you by a dimmer you need to read what kind of load it is meant to control. They are built to control incandescent light, magnet low voltage lights or electronic lights.

How can an intermediate switch be used with a 2-way switch system to control a light from four floors?

A two way switch is UK terminology for a North American three way switch. Though the switch has two names it is still a Single Pole Double Throw switch that has three terminals. North American terminology. The circuit is the same as the three way switch system. To control from four locations just add another intermediate switch. For the system to work properly the new intermediate switch has to be adjacent to the existing intermediate switch. The connections must run - three way, intermediate, intermediate, three way.


What is a intermediate switch?

An intermediate switch is a switch of 4 terminals which is used to control devices from more than 2 locations. If you want to control a device (eg. lamp) from one location you use a normal switch, you could see two terminals behind it. If you want to control from two locations you use a 2-way switch (3-way in American vocabulary), you could see three terminals behind it. But if you want the device to be controlled from more locations, you need to use what is called the "Intermediate Switch". It is to be used in conjunction with other 2-way or intermediate switches. Technically speaking, an intermediate switch is similar in structure to a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) with the throw contacts of a pole is interconnected to that of the other pole. Consider the stairs of a G+2 storey building. You usually have three switches -one on Ground floor, second switch on the first floor and the third on the second floor, isn't it? You need to turn-on & off the light from all locations. Then, you need to use an intermediate switch in between two 2-way switches (Can also use all three intermediate if economy doesn't matter). If you require switches in 5 locations, go for two 2-way switches in the first and last points and three intermediate switches in the rest of the locations. In each intermediate switch you could see two sets of terminals. The two wires coming from one direction is connected to one set of terminals and new two wires are connected to the other two terminals and taken to the next switch in line. Also see section 5 of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

Intermediate switch layout?

The strappers from each two way switch go to the four way switch. The strappers from one switch go to terminals 1 & 2, the other two go to terminals 3 & 4.


When installing lights with 2-way and intermediate switching control the intermediate switch must be connected to the?

to wire a lamp to be controlled from three places you need two three way switches and one four way switch. the two traveller wires that would normally run between the two three way switches must be connected to the terminals of the four way switch

How does a two way connection with intermediate transfer electric current?

On a 3 way circuit both switches must be in the same position for the circuit to be complete and the lights to work. When you add a 4/way or intermediate switch to the middle of the circuit the 4/way switch has 2 positions. One position closes the circuit and the other position opens the circuit. In other words the current is passing through or it is not.
