A one gang switch is like an ordinary switch box in your home. When there is more than one box, the electrical terminology used is ganging the boxes together. Two switches side by side in a single box is expressed as a two gang box. Three switches side by side in a single box is a three gang box.
A single phase circuit is a circuit that gets is supply voltage from a single phase supply system. In North America the single phase supply voltages are 120/240 volts. A single phase circuit can also be supplied from any two legs of a three phase system. The most common voltages in North America from a three phase system are 120/208 volts.

Uses of gang capacitor?
Gang capacitors are commonly used in radio tuners/receivers. Radio tuners/receivers have formation of LC(inductance and capacitor). Here this circuit has one fixed inductance and capacitor parallel with gang capacitor. Normally gang capacitor used in superhetrodyne receiver.
What is marble gang saw cutting machine?
the marble gang saw cutting machine is a machine to make a slat of required thick from a big sized of marble from mines
Can you see a hacker?
hacker is not a bacteria , or invisible man. we can see hackers. probably your question should be "can we find hackers?". hackers are not robbers or gang lords. they are same as common man but with some knowledge about computer's working. but crackers are hard to be found.

The Brooklyn Bridge is one. 思课买地课 no. the Brooklyn bridge is a suspension bridge
How does a plough work?
A plough is an implement for creating furrows in a field. The simplest ploughs are no more than sticks pulled through the earth which create a shallow furrow and push the earth up on either side. More sophisticated ploughs use a ploughshare which cuts into the earth and then forces it to follow the curve of the ploughshare and moldboard so it turns to one side. The result is a deep trench with the earth piled on one side of it. A horse-drawn plough usually pulled a plough with a single share or bottom. Teams of horses or mechanical tractors can pull a group of ploughshares (called a gang plough) which can create several furrows simultaneously. One of the reasons for ploughing was to break up the soil and soften it. Another was to create a furrow into which seed could be sown. Modern farming practices do not make much use of the plough, using cultivators to break up the soil and seed drills to sow the crop.
What is a 3 gang 3 way switch?
3 gang switch and you can call it 2-way switch..is a type of swithces we are using mostly in the stairs lighting ,that mean you have switch up to the stair and one down to the stair and you can switch the light on from one and switch it off from the other switch and via verse. <<>> There is no such thing as a three gang three way switch,. The nearest thing is a three gang double throw switch. It is used to supply a three phase load from two individual three phase supply sources. This is the type of manual switch that can be used for emergency power switch over from utility to generator. Three way switching uses a single pole double throw switch at each end of the circuit and a cross over switch in the center position. The center switch in a three way lighting configuration is a cross over switch and a double pole double throw switch in that position will not work.
What is a one gang two way switch?
It switches two separate wires with one switch throw. <<>> It is two individual single pole single throw switches mounted side by side and are enclosed in a single enclosure. The single enclosure is called a two gang junction box.
Can you wire a standard on and off switch into an already existing circuit so that the off position completes the old circuit and the on position routes a new circuit?
A standard switch opens the circuit when in the off position, so the answer to your question is no. That said there is a way that it can be done by changing the switch to a single pole double throw switch. The "hot" will come into the switch on the common terminal. The old circuit connects to the top switch handle up terminal. The new circuit connects to the terminal in the handle down position. This setup will leave one of the circuits on all of the time. To over come this situation the switches can be installed in a double gang box. A standard on off switch will control the power to the "hot " that comes into the SPDT switch.
What is a 3 gang 2 way switch?
3 gang means 3 individual switches in the same single unit. 2 way means each switch can be on or off.
How do you wire a single switch as a break in a series not in a gang box?
This question needs more explanation of answer needed
What is the principle of operation of gang capacitors?
Gang capacitors are a series of capacitors that are mounted to a common location. When they are mounted in series, they can be controlled by a single switch instead of multiple ones.
How do you wire 2gang 3gang and 4gang 1way switches?
All of these types of devices have different applications and usually are of different physical sizes. If you are talking about poles and confusing it with gangs then; A 2 pole is a double pole single throw switch. A 3 pole switch is usually used as a manual transfer switch for three phase applications. A 4 pole, never heard of one. A 1 way or single pole switch is the same type of switch used in home circuits to turn the lights on and off. The term gang in the electrical trade refers to electrical junction boxes (usually for switches) that are joined together to make an installation compact by keeping all of the switches in a common place. A single "hot" circuit is brought in from the distribution panel and pigtailed to each individual switch. The bottom of the switch then connects to the individual lighting loads.
What is a 2 gang switch outlet?
A gang switch is an electrical box that contains two or more switches or outlets. Gang switches are very common in public facilities such as schools and hospitals. A two gang switch would be two switches operating different fixtures sharing the same electrical box.
When using a three gang switch plate with 3 spst how many hot wires are needed?
If one circuit contains all three switches and their loads are on the same circuit then only one "hot" and one neutral is needed.
What is the function of gang switch?

Does code require a new bath vent fan to be on a dedicated circuit?
No, the bath vent fan does not need a designated circuit. If this is a new installation install a three wire cable to the fixture from a two gang switch box. Cover plates for two gang boxes can be bought with a blank on one side and a switch on the other. At some time in the future a lighted fan enclosure may be installed. This will allow the light and fans to be operated independently.
To mount two switches and a pilot light in a single gang standard device box you would use?
You would need to purchase a duplex switch. As for the pilot light look for a duplex switch that has a neon pilot light that is incorporated into the handle of the switch. When the switch is turned on the switch's handle will illuminate.
