How does the white wire on an outlet become hot?
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
Which circuit fault occurs when previously unconnected conductors touch one another allowing current to bypass part or all of a circuit?
If the word unconnected was changed to uninsulated then this type of scenario would be known as a short circuit.
Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?
This type of circuit is called a series circuit. Each bulb becomes a part of the circuit and if one burns out or is removed the circuit is open and electricity no longer flows through it. If you draw a circle and mark an 'x' on its rim and call that the power source. The electricity flows out and through each light and back to the source. If you erase a part of the circle, to represent a blown bulb, the circuit is broken and the electricity does not flow.
Which is not a type of home circuit?
A three phase motor control circuit.
What type of circuit cannot conduct an electric current?
An open circuit.

What type of circuit allows part of the circuit to be switched off?
A parallel circuit.
What is distribution box?
An ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) distribution box is a type of electrical box that is used for electrical GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets. This is the type of outlet that requires a three-prong plug in, one wire of which is grounded. GFCI outlets are set up so that if there is a circuit overload, the outlet is shut off until it is reset, manually.

When adding a ceiling outlet for a new paddle fan in the bedroom does the code required this circuit addition to be AFCI protected?
If you are planning on adding a ceiling outlet in the bedroom for a ceiling fan, code requires a combination type AFCI.
What outlets do I need for the stackable washer and dryer?
Stackable washer dryer combination only requires one type of outlet. Both units run on 110v circuit. Therefore, only one outlet is necessary to plug both units into.
What type of compound can you infer oil is?
None
What is the most common type of outlet in Germany?
gay outlet
What is the meaning of the GFCI acronym?
The meaning of the GFCI acronym stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interpreter. It is a special type of electrical outlet that prevents electrical power for safety reasons.
A toaster is an example of which type of circuit?
It is a resistive type of circuit.
What is a type of circuit?
