Does the neutral wire go on the silver screw when wiring switches or outlets?
No, the switch just breaks the hot side of the circuit. The incoming hot wire should be connected to the top screw and the load side of the switch should be connected to the bottom screw. The neutral wire is usually connected together with a wire nut and pushed to the back of the switch box.
What is the color of the earth wire live wire and neutral wire?
In the US older 2-conductor house wire has a white-insulated and a black-insulated wire. The white wire is the neutral and the black is the hot wire. Newer house wire has a third bare copper wire to serve as the ground wire. Insulated ground wire has a green jacketing on it. Red wires are for switch legs. You want to be sure that whomever did the wiring didn't flip the colors around. You can do this by checking the fuse or breaker box - the white or neutral wires should all run to the multi-neutral ground bus bar and the black or hot wires should each go to their respective circuit breakers or fuse sockets. On your switches and recepticals, the gold screw is for the black, or hot wire, and the silver screw is for the neutral. The green screw would be for the ground wire. Mostly, use a qualified electrician to do any work unless you are quite handy, have all necessary tools and fully aware of all safety precautions and code requirements that may exist where you live.
Where does the battery wire for your car stereo go?
Any hot wire. Usually the are a couple terminals for an accessory in the fuse box. Can attach there, tap an existing wire or go direct to batt. Should be keyed power source is preferable since cannot stay on when car off.
What do you do with the fuse box in case of the missing coins?
You go into the boiler room and then you go to the fuse box and on the inside you will read the directions , then you figre it out.
Where is the horn relay for a 1981 Corvette?
If you look near fuse box there is a set of wire's that separate near this location and there are three wires that go into a plastic housing. This is the relay.
Where can you get a display of a fuse box that shows where the fuses go?
look under the fuse box cover their usually there
Where can you get a diagram for the fuses on a 1996 Mazda 3000?
Go to the library. But what are you looking for, a fuse problem or a wire problem? The fuse box is factory set by college degree workers, the library can show you the wires and fuses in the auto section.
How do you use wires to install add ons for 94 Saturn SC2 through the fuse box under the dashboard and where are they located?
what are you trying to install??? you can either tie into the battery directly if you have a fused power wire, or you can tie into the ignition, same fused wire or go through any fuse that is the proper size for the addon you are installing..any one of the ways you use, that wire will be the positive or hot wire, you will then need to tie into a ground, either from the battery ground, fuse box ground or any metal part of the dash or chassis that is grounded, you will know if it is because the addon wont work without being grounded, to tie into the fuse box itself you will need to go to radio shack and buy some electrical connectors, using the size or one that fits onto the fuse box open line or fuse holder itself, sometimes this takes a little imagination and creativity to make it fit, you can also use a connector that clips onto a wire and lets you run another wire off of it, ask your radio shack guy about that one. good luck
You are installing a needle type tach on your 2009 Harley Road King it has a BK OW and a pink wire in the harness you install the BK to grd OW goes to the fuse box where does the pink wire go?
Pink wire goes to the power side of the coil
How can you get a fuse box diagram if the fuse box cover is missing?
Go to a junkyard and get the diagram off a vehicle like yours.
Why it is important to properly ground your electrical appliances?
The ground wire is the low impedance and direct return path to the distribution panelboard. The ground wire carries any fault current back to the panelboard. This fault current is what trips the circuits protection. This protection can be either a fuse but more likely an electrical circuit breaker.One common mistake in the electrical trade is the thought that the ground wire connects to the neutral bus or wire. The ground wire does not connect to the neutral wire or the panelboards isolated neutral bus.The ground wire connects to the ground bus in the panelboard. This is an non-isolated bus that is threaded directly to the panelboard enclosure. The only place the ground bus and the neutral connect to each other is through the neutral bonding screw. This is a screw that goes through the neutral bus and threads itself into the enclosure of the panelboard thereby picking up the ground bus.
Can you use 14-2 wire to operate a ceiling fan using two switches one for the fan the other for the lights?
On these types of installations an electrician would use a three wire cable set from the switch box to the fixture's junction box. At the fixture's junction box both the fan neutral and the light neutral would be wire nutted together with the incoming neutral from the switch boxes. From the three wire, the white wire would go to the fan and light's neutral wires. The Black would come from the bottom of one of the switches and go to the fan's motor lead. The red wire would come from the bottom of the other switch and go to the light fixture's lead. It can be done with two runs of two wire to the fixture. You will need a two gang switch box for this project to hold the two separate switches. You could use a single gang light switch box if you can still find where duplex switches being sold. A duplex switch is one that has the configuration of a duplex receptacle with the switches being one on top of the other. The cover plate is the same one used for duplex receptacles. To answer this question fully more information is needed. See discuss in the left margin.
