A great place to use a clock that doubles as a timer is in the kitchen. You can time how long that casserole needs to stay in the oven and know how much longer until the kids get off the bus.

What would happened if you wired a 240v ballast and a 120 v ballast into a heavy duty timer?

The timer has to be multi-pole. The ballast must be connected to the load contacts of the timer. If the timer is a 120 Volt timer, the timer has to run on a 120V. circuit. Loads are loads, and as long as you have a multi-load timer you can hook up whatever you want. If the timer only works on a shared power source (load shares the timer supply) you will need to use a contactor on the load side or the timer.

How do you program the timer on a Hayward pool pump?

Your filter does not need a time clock ~ it does not run on electricity. HIRE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN to run the necessary conduit, wires etc for the time clock, motor and heater hook-ups. All equipment has to be bonded and grounded. Most municipal codes require too that you bring most or all pool related items up to current code. That includes retrofitting your main drain with the new requirements if yours is an older system. This is not only for your safety but for others that may be using your pool. After all you would not want a major injury or a death to occur on your property or having a law suit pending. k

How do you wire a timer switch to a 3 way light switch?

First you need to decide what you are trying to accomplish. You can wire the Timer switch in series with or parallel to the 3-way switches. If in series then the 3-way switch function would depend on the timer state. If the Timer switch was ON then the 3-way switch could turn the connected device ON or OFF from either location. If the Timer switch were OFF the device would be OFF no matter what you did with 3-way switches. To wire in this fashion put the timer between the supply and the input to the switches. If the Timer is in parallel then if the Timer is ON it doesn't matter what you do with the 3-way switch, the device will be ON as long as the Timer is ON. If the Timer is OFF then the 3-way switches will work in their normal fashion. To wire in parallel connect the supply to one side of the Timer and the device to the other.


Can I put an electric shower on a timer switch?

Most timer swiches are designed to operate with loads of up to 13 amps or 3 kW. Electric showers use around 8 kW (30-35 amps), so you would need a high-current timer.


How do you wire two lighting circuits through a time clock?

If you mean two separate circuits from different breakers, you will need a 2-pole time clock. The circuits will need to be kept completely separate, including neutrals. Remember that a time clock is just a switch operated by a timer and you only switch the hot wires. The clock will be operated by one of the circuits. For this you will need the neutral of that circuit connected to the neutral contact of the clock. This is all rather simple if you can follow the wiring diagram provided with the clock. I doubt you can find a 2-pole clock at the local hardware or home improvement store. You may have to go to an electrical supplier. I say this is simple and for an electrician it is. If you get the clock you need and it doesn't make sense to you in a minute or two you should not attempt to do this yourself. Crossing the hot wires or connecting the wrong neutrals to each other can create very unsafe conditions.
