Can you connect Two wires to one main lug in a panel board?
Two wires can be connected to one main lug in a panel board if the lug is designed to hold two wires. The data will be written on the lug.
Can neutral and bare copper wires be under the same screw on a bus bare in a single family home electrical panel?
No, ground wires should not be terminated on the neutral bus. They should be terminated on to the ground bus which should be located on the back wall of the distribution panel. More that one wire can go under the terminal screws if you are running out of room. Shut the panel off and remove any ground wires that are now under the neutral bus terminals and move them to the ground bus. Some panels use a lug for a ground bus. All ground wires into the lug and tighten. In a ground fault condition it is the ground wires that are connected to the ground potential that trip the breaker, not ground wires connected to neutrals. Be safe.
Can you pigtail grounds in a panel in order to prevent double lugging on the neutral bus.?
The ground wires should not be terminated on the neutral bus. They should be terminated on to the ground bus which should be located on the back wall of the distribution panel. The wires don't have to be pigtailed when inserted into the ground bus. More that one wire can go under the terminal screws if you are running out of room. Shut the panel off and remove any ground wires that are now under the neutral bus terminals and move them to the ground bus. Some panels use a lug for a ground bus. All ground wires into the lug and tighten. In a ground fault condition it is the ground wires that are connected to the ground potential that trip the breaker, not ground wires connected to neutrals. Be safe.
How many wires can a neutral bus bar connection have?
you can only put one wire under one lug for neutrals (grounded conductor). grounds (grounding conductor) can be doubled up as long as they are the same gauge under one lug
How do you install 220 receptacle with white black and bare wires?
Assuming the wires are the correct gauge for application and breaker you use black and white wires as hot. Put red electrical tape on each end of white wire and connect red and black to the breaker output and bare wire to ground lug in panel. At receptacle connect black and red to hot contacts and bare wire to ground lug.
Can you connect two wires to one main lug in a panel board that is only rated for one wire?
This is not a good idea. You don't say what type of connection, but it is typically against the electric code to exceed the designed connection specification.
Where is the lug wrench on a 1999 Ford Explorer?
At the rear of the vehicle, in the cargo compartment, there should be a panel on the left side. Remove that, and the jack and lug wrench will be in there.
Where is the the jack located in a 1995 explorer?
In the cargo area , behind the removable plastic panel on the drivers side Also , your lug wrench is held in place by clips on the back side of the plastic panel and the two metal rod extensions for the jack are behind the rear seat under the carpeted panel in the floor
Does the white and ground wire connect to same ground bar in a meter base?
There should be no ground wire in the meter stack from the mast head to the meter base. If the meter base to distribution panel conduit is PVC, then a green grounding conductor must be pulled into the conduit. This green wire is independent and isolated from the neutral wire and should never be terminated together at this point. Only the line service conductors and the neutral wire go through the meter base. The neutral goes through a lay in lug. This type of lug requires the insulation to be stripped of of the wire where it passes over the lug. This stripped wire is then laid into the lug and is secured to the meter base by the removable top piece of the lug. The neutral wire remains unbroken from the mast head to the distribution panel's neutral buss bar. Using this lay in lug the watt meter picks up the neutral wire for the plug in meters operation. If your terminology is not correct and you mean the "distribution panel" instead of "meter base" then the answer is no. There are two individual buss bars in the distribution panel. In some panels there may not be an actual "ground buss bar" but ground screws lined up in a row in the back of the distribution panel's enclosure. In all distribution panels there is a neutral buss bar where all of the neutral conductors from the branch circuits connect. Do not mix the bare ground wires and the white neutral circuit wires under this neutral buss bar.
Can you tie the neutral wire on a sub feed to another panel to the main neutral lug?
no
What wires go to what terminal on a starter on a 1996 dodge neon?
The brown wire goes to the small lug on the solenoid. The red, and the black with grey stripe go to the large lug.
Where is lug key located in 1999 mercury mountaineer?
I believe it should be attached to the lug wrench that is stored in behind the removable plastic panel in the cargo area on the drivers side
