What else can I help you with?
Does leaving the switch on to a switched outlet use electricity if nothing is plugged into the outlet?
Actually curent or voltage that passes through the object . then there will be a loss .if (current or voltage) the electrical energy is converted into light source , mechanical energy( rotation of fan),chemical reaction(electroplating) as heat (iron box ). so when no object(load) is connected to the plug point there wont be any loss if you r switch on the switch too.
Is it safe to plug 120 volts to 130 volts outlet?
It is not safe to plug a 120-volt device into a 130-volt outlet as the outlet may be providing too much voltage for the device to handle safely. This could lead to overheating, damage to the device, or even a fire hazard. It is recommended to use outlets that match the voltage requirement of the device being plugged in.
When the test button is pressed on a gfci outlet it sparks and trips two breakers in the main panel What could be the problem?
The test button should only trip the GFCI. The fact that it is tripping two breakers indicates that somehow both breakers are feeding your GFCI circuit. I have seen this when there was a wiring error and two circuits were joined in an outlet that was connected to a breaker and through the GFCI outlet. To troubleshoot determine which outlets are effected when both breakers are off. Pull outlet from box and if there are two feeds remove one from outlet and run a toner on wire left on outlet to panel and one off outlet to panel. The GFCI could block the toner so if one side of the outlet does not tone back to panel check at GFCI. There must be two paths to your electric panel for the two breakers to trip and the GFCI may be faulty as well. Another way to check is to have the GFCI reset and both breakers on. Check each outlet that you have identified as being on GFCI noting that they can be in different rooms. With all outlets working turn off one of the tripped breakers. See if any outlets so off. If not turn off the other breaker and turn on the first breaker. If power is still present then the outlets are being fed by both breakers.
Why does the Outlet stops working after an appliance is plugged in?
Check for a loose wire connection on the sides of the outlet that you plug into that causes the other two outlets to stop working. Are the screws tight? There will probably be two wires on each side, one will be the feed coming to that oulet and the other one will feed to the other outlets. Also a possible loose connection in the box that the outlet is mounted in, such as a loose or broken wire in a wire nut. Remember to shut off the power to this circuit while working on it. I hope this will help. Polarity on the third outlet could be reversed. It will blow the circuit. Is it possibly current drain i.e are there too many outlets and is the appliance something that uses a lot of current? This can be discovered by reading the manual. If lets say the junction box or fuse box had been replaced by a solid wire then this would allow more current to flow. If this wire(fuse replaced) is supplying the three outlets and a short circuit is in the appliance. The first answer is correct. The other two may be true statements, but they do not address this question.
How come you to plug machiens into electricity to use it?
Without being plugged in the machines will not work. The power comes along the wire into the machine.
What is the difference between an adaptor and a converter when it comes to electrical devices?
An adaptor is used to change the shape or size of a plug so it can fit into a different outlet, while a converter is used to change the voltage of an electrical device to match the voltage of the outlet it is being plugged into.
Why does the reset button on a wall outlet pop out when something is plugged into it?
Assume this is a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. The GFCI looks for current that is flowing to ground, in a manner that could result in electrical shock to a user. The appliance that is being plugged in could be defective, the wiring connected to the load side of the GFCI may be incorrect, or the GFCI outlet could be defective. Try using another appliance. If the GFCI holds, the first appliance is most likely the cause.
What energy transformation is an electric toaster is plugged into the outlet to make dinner called?
The energy transformation in an electric toaster is electrical energy being transformed into thermal energy to cook or toast food.
What is flex outlet?
An appliance cable or "flex" outlet is a type of electrical outlet which is NOT a "socket outlet" to take plugs for appliances so that they can be plugged and un-plugged. An appliance cable or "flex" outlet has terminals inside it. The terminals allow the wires in an appliance cable or "flex" to be connected to the household wiring in a building. The household wiring comes from the building's main electrical power panel, which carries the main circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are fitted to protect the household wiring from catching on fire if any circuit is overloaded. Such appliance cable or "flex" outlets also have strain-relief clips. A strain-relief clip helps to prevent the cable from being yanked out of the outlet if the appliance gets moved away from the wall where the outlet is installed. Such outlets, with terminals inside and strain-relief clips, are used for fixed appliances, such as ranges or dryers, which should never have to be un-plugged during normal use of the appliance by the user.
Was Herbert Hoover a republican or democratic?
Roosevelt was a Democrat, Hoover was a Republican.
What is the active outlet?
the outlet being used (like plugs for cords)
What is the purpose of an outlet power meter and how can it help in monitoring and managing energy consumption?
An outlet power meter is used to measure the amount of electricity being used by a device plugged into it. It helps in monitoring and managing energy consumption by providing real-time data on how much energy is being used, allowing users to identify energy-wasting devices and make informed decisions on how to reduce their energy usage.
What happens when your stereo on for too long?
Many things can happen when your stereo is on for too long. If batteries are being used they will die from the stereo being left on. If the stereo is plugged into the outlet then the electric bill can be run up and there is a possibility that it will become too much for the power source and blow a fuse.
Sansui mp3 doesn't show signs of charging when plugged in to the laptop what am I doing wrong?
If the Sansui MP3 player is not showing signs of charging when plugged into the laptop, perhaps the wrong cord is being used. There is a data cord and a charging cord. They look almost exactly the same. It is easier to charge this device by plugging it into a wall outlet, so that cords do not get mixed up.
What kind of energy input will a clock have?
A clock typically requires electrical energy input. This can come from batteries or from being plugged into an electrical outlet. Some clocks may also use mechanical energy in the form of winding or weight-driven mechanisms.
When did the Hoover Dam finished being constructed?
1943
Why Wont Your Kenwood KM265 Switch On?
If your Kenwood KM265 won't switch on, first check that it's properly plugged into a functioning power outlet and that the power cord is not damaged. Ensure that the safety features, such as the bowl or lid being correctly placed, are not preventing it from starting. Additionally, check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If all else fails, the motor or internal components may need professional inspection or repair.
