Why is your earth wire is glowing on the live circuit?
In the visible spectrum or the infrared? Either way, if your earth wire is glowing you have a problem. Your earth wire is not intended as a current carrying wire. If the wire is loaded to the point that it glows then your circuit/breaker is not wired correctly and the earth wire is being used as an unintended path and is a hazard. Earth wires are not sized properly to carry current.
What number wire gauge for a single pole light switch?
In residential wiring applications the most used is 14 gauge wire for light switches as long as the circuit breaker or the fuse is 15A. If your lighting circuit is on a 20A fuse/circuit breaker then you need to use 12 gauge wire
What is binary cord?
Wire carrying negative and positive charges in a closed circuit. It doesnt have earth.
Why earth wire is green and yellow stripped colour?
The ground conductor is colored green to be identifyable anywhere in the circuit
What is a circuit in which electricity doesn't flow called?
In a lighting circuit an open circuit will turn off the light.
Can one use 1 circuit of a 3 wire plus ground 2 circuit cable as a GFI circuit with the other as a lighting circuit?
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.
Why is earth wire not needed in a light circuit?
A ground (earth) wire is needed in not just a light circuit but in all circuits that are now installed.
How many neutral wires are needed for lighting and outlets?
If they are on the same circuit you only need 1 neutral wire in the circuit.
In electrical circuits what wire protects the operator?
Earth wire is meant to protect the user in case there is earth fault in the device or circuit. Only earth wire alone is not sufficient. It needs to be provided with suitable circuit breaker that breaks the circuit automatically.
Why the bulb is not lighting when one wire or terminal is not connected?
When one wire or terminal is not connected to a light bulb, it is not possible for electricity to complete the circuit. When a circuit is not completed, the bulb will not light. An off switch, for example, breaks the circuit.

Can loose neutral wire effect the operation of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker?
Yes, a loose neutral wire can effect the operation of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker.
What is the right circuit break to be used for lighting circuits?
Usually 15A or 20A, but it depends on the wire used.
What type of circuit would be used in lighting circuit?
A lighting circuit would be a parallel circuit.
How do you wire mood lighting into a car?
Mood lighting in the car can be done by connecting LED lights to the rest of the battery circuit. Disconnect the negative cable and connect the LED light connector to the circuit that leads to the rear lights.
What size wire do you need for 220 feet?
Cannot answer this question. Will need to know the voltage and amperage of the circuit. Also need to know the application i.e. is it a lighting circuit or a motor circuit?
