Pilot wire is mentioned in many places related to electrical installations.

In wiring between emergency lighting fixtures there is an extra wire called the pilot wire which is used simply as a detector that detects the cutout of electricity and prompts the lighting fixtures to operate depending on their self contained battery packs.

What is Solkar Current Differential?

A transmission system is employed with pilot relaying schemes for protection. Pilot is a channel which transmits the information from one end of the transmission line to the other.The information is normally an electrical quantity that is measured at both the ends. The different pilots used are wire pilot, carrier-current pilot and microwave pilot. Solkar system ( reyrolle) is a scheme employing the wire pilot. It is commonly called the balanced voltage or opposed voltage scheme. It operates on the principle of current differential protection.

Do you choose a breaker for wire or equipment protection?

A breaker is typically chosen for wire protection. It is selected based on the ampacity of the wire to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Equipment protection is usually handled by fuses or specialized circuit breakers that are designed to protect specific equipment from damage due to overcurrent or short circuits.

How do you short the control circuit manually on a teledyne-laars pool heater?

First of all, I'm assuming that your heater has a pilot and not self ignition. You will need a jumper wire ( 16" of wire with an alligator clip on each end) attach one end to the terminal on the gas valve that the red wire from the pilot generator is connected to ( pilot gen. is the thing the pilot flame touches). Now attach the other end of the jumper to the terminal where the wire from the connects to the knob where you set the water temp). NOTE: JUMPING BYPASSES ALL BUILT IN SAFETY DEVICES AND IS FOR TEST LEAVE THE JUMPER CONNECTED TO RUN THE HEATER FOR HEATING PURPOSES!!!!

How to clean the pilot on your furnace?

Remove the pilot assembly from the furnace and clean it up. You need to be careful when putting it back on at the gas valve so as not to crossthread the screw. Take a thin wire and clean the pilot orifice, then use a brush or sandpaper on the thermocouple.
