Electrically there is no reason you couldn't if the neutral exists in the switch box. But in a home, a switch is required just inside every door. So other arrangements would have to be made for that.
Replacing a switch with a receptacle would mean there is no longer a switch, of course, for the lights. They would either be on all the time or off all the time.
If you need a receptacle at this location, consider installing a combination unit with a switch and single receptacle on the same yoke.
Yes as long as you change the 50 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. You will be hard pressed to get the 50 amp #6 wire under the terminals of the 15 amp receptacle.
You will need a receptacle that you can wire each outlet separately (not jumpered). You would then wire the switch in series on the line conductor with the outlet you want switchable. Wire the other outlet directly to the power source. You can jumper the neutral from one outlet to the other.
An engineered set of drawings or blueprints would take precedence over all on an electrical project.
Yes, there is no reason why this can not be done. In fact a benefit of this is that every receptacle downstream from this new receptacle will also be protected by the GFCI receptacle.
Presuming the switch worked at one point and just stopped working it is likely that the switch has failed in a normally closed position. The only other possibility is that somehow you have a wire problem whereby the hot side of supply is connected to the load side of the switch. This could be caused by an exposed wire in the switch receptacle. Suggest you turn off power at breaker and replace switch as a start. When you have the switch removed from the receptacle, with wires still connected see if switch works. If it does it could still be bad, but examine the wires around switch and see if you have any exposed wire that could be touching the load side of the switch (Side connected to the light).
No, it is against the National Electrical Code to wire a receptacle with the wrong voltage. You should call a qualified electrician to change the 250V receptacle to a 125V receptacle.
With the switch in the on position the receptacle is energized. With the switch in the off position the receptacle is de-energized.
To install a light switch receptacle in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the area where you will be working. Remove the existing switch or receptacle from the wall. Connect the wires from the new switch receptacle to the existing electrical wiring, following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the new switch receptacle to the wall and cover it with a wall plate. Turn the power back on and test the switch receptacle to ensure it is working properly. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with electrical work, it is recommended to hire a professional electrician.
To wire a receptacle to a switch, you need to connect the hot wire from the power source to the switch, then connect another wire from the switch to the receptacle. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow proper wiring diagrams to ensure safety and functionality.
Short in the courtesy light receptacle, wiring, or the switch. Can also be a corroded receptacle.
You'd need to branch the circuit before the switch. This can be immediately before the switch, in the box that holds the switch, but you can't get constant power from a switched circuit after its been switched.
You cant. But you can switch legs and sometimes bodies. You can also change the colour of your Lasers.
Yes as long as you change the 50 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. You will be hard pressed to get the 50 amp #6 wire under the terminals of the 15 amp receptacle.
Break off the tab that jumps between the wire mounting screws on the side of the receptacle. This turns one receptacle into 2 seperately controlled parts--one is always hot and the other is controlled by the switch (the one with the lamp plugged in).
Most of the times yes. If it is an appliance that gets pulled out of a receptacle under load and there is a small arc produced this will not damage the receptacle. It will pit the blades inside the receptacle but not enough to render the receptacle unserviceable It is not recommended to use this method to disconnect electrical equipment, use a switch in the circuit as they are designed to open a circuit under load.
You will need a receptacle that you can wire each outlet separately (not jumpered). You would then wire the switch in series on the line conductor with the outlet you want switchable. Wire the other outlet directly to the power source. You can jumper the neutral from one outlet to the other.
you cant does it click when you switch on ignition if not change it.
