When a GFCI senses a fault the ground-fault current can originate from what either the hot or neutral wire on the line side of the GFCI either the hot or neutral wire on the load side of the GFCI?
In a very real sense, a "ground fault" cannot come from the neutral side, since, if your wiring is performing as designed, there should be little potential between the neutral and ground. A ground fault is said to occur when the current OUT, through the "hot" side is not equal to the current BACK, through the neutral, meaning that current is leaking to somewhere else... such as through your body. Having said all that, it is certainly possible that you could cause a GFCI to trip by introducing current to the neutral from a circuit that does not go through the GFCI breaker; but that would involve non-standard wiring practices.
Why would a GFCI trip with no load connected?
Are any of the outlets OUTDOORS? If so, and if an outlet is getting wet, it will trip the GFIC immediately. If that's not it, unplug everything, reset the GFI and see what happens. If it still trips, make certain that the wires aren't getting wet somewhere. If THAT'S not helpful, replace the GFI.
How do you change an outlet to a GFCI outlet?
come in your line side of the gfci and out the load side and onto the next device,which will make it gfci protected.You can go as far as 3-6 depending on the inspecter having juridiction and the manufacture specs on the gfci device you bought.keep in mind that if it trips then all connected devices in that series will also trip
Where does a GFCI go?
GFCI protection is required for most outdoor receptacles, bathroom , garage wall outlets, kitchen, and all receptacles in crawl space.
How do you wire a 3-wire 240V 15A pump motor to a GFCI receptacle or GFCI breaker?
== == == == Don't know if there are any 240V GFCI receptacles so I vote for a 240V GFCI breaker which would be 2 pole. The pump should have two colored wires and a white. White goes to the neutral bus and the two colored wires go to the two poles of the breaker. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How to wire a split capacitor motor?
Your two hot wires go to the load side of your contractor and the two brown wires go to your capacitor
Can you have two different size load wires that is unprotected on a transformers load side?
It is not a recommended practice. The secondary side of the transformer should go to a distribution panel where breakers can be used to protect the different wire sizes and load currents.

What wires conductors would go under x lug in a transformer?
The primary side of a transformer is identified as the H side, eg. H1,H2,H3,H4. The secondary side of a transformer is identified as the X side. Eg. X1, X2. Usually X1 goes to a fuse and then to the load, X2 is usually the neutral side and is grounded to the body of the transformer.

How much total load used in single phase?
Single phase loads can go as high as the connected device requires. Of course the higher you go with the load , so goes the equipment to support it. Larger wires sizes, breakers etc..
Why does the ignition wires on a F150 1998 with 4.6 go bad are they not heavy duty enough?
The wires are fine, they were engineered to handle the electrical load of normal operation. If the wires have overheated it's because something shorted out or someone connected the electrical wrong.
Where do the wires go on a pressure switch you got two wires from the panel then two wires out to the pump?
A typical pressure switch has 4 contacts. You are switching 220 volts. When the switch is open the supply side and pump side are not connected to each other. So you just need to connect the two wires from supply to one side of the switch and the pump to the other. It doesn't matter which wire on a given side is connected to which terminal on that side.
