Can a 40 amp cook top be connected to 10 3 wire in a 30 amp circuit?

If you are talking about splicing a 40 amp cook top into an existing 3C #10 30 amp circuit then the answer is no. An appliance with that load ampacity needs to have its own dedicated circuit. This would consist of 3C #8 wire cable fed from a two pole 40 amp breaker located in the distribution panel.


My 110 washer will work my 220 dryer will work. why will it throw breaker when both are plugged in on separate breakers?

Your 110 volt washer receptacle sounds like it is not a dedicated circuit directly fed from the distribution panel as it should be. It sounds like someone has tapped off of one side of the dryer receptacle hot and neutral terminals and run them to the receptacle for the washer. If true, this would have been done in the back side of the dryer receptacles which is located in the wall. You best get it checked out because it is likely the wire feeding the washer receptacle is a #14 rated at 15 amps and is undersized for a 30 amp breaker. A #10 wire has the capacity to be connected to a 30 amp breaker which you should find the dryer's connection to be.


How can you tell if your GFCI outlet is 15 amp or 20 amp?

I'm guessing you mean 120 volt, 20 amp receptacle. Look at the receptacle. If the grounding prong is down, the flat slot on the left is your neutral. In a 120v/15 amp receptacle, this slot will be parallel to the hot slot next to it. In a 120v/20 amp receptacle, this slot will be shaped like a sideways 'T'. The reason it is designed this way is so you are able to put either a 15 or 20 amp plug into a 20 amp receptacle, but you can not put a 20 amp plug into a 15 amp receptacle.


Can you explain house wiring using electrical symbols and identify two simple circuits within a home?

Electrical symbols are used on electrical prints to show the location of devices that the architect would like located at specific spots. Two simple circuits in house wiring would be a receptacle circuit and a lighting circuit.

How do you extend the electric outlet at the basement?

Parallel connect the new receptacle to a receptacle in the existing circuit. Black (hot) existing to black (new), white existing to white (new), ground existing to ground (new). Make the ground wire coming into the new receptacle box longer so that it can be looped around the ground screw located in the receptacle box first and then connect to the receptacle without having a break in the wire.


Can you replace an ungrounded circuit breaker with a GFCI circuit breaker?

Yes but it's redundant and may cause unnecessary "tripping" of the circuit. The GFCI circuit breaker is intended to protect an entire receptacle circuit whereas a GFCI receptacle is designed to protect only that receptacle and any which are provided power from its load side. (downstream)

Why is the fuse always on the 'live' side of the appliance?

If there was a fault to earth the casing of the appliance would remain live otherwise. Also there could be a large current from live to earth which could heat the wires to the extent that your house burns down. This is expensive! Neutral is near earth potential anyway. <<>> The fuse should be the first device in any circuit. When a fault occurs the potential across the circuit should become zero to ground. If the fuse was located on the downstream side of the load it would still open the circuit but every part of the circuit upstream from the load would still have a voltage potential to ground. Any one working on the circuit upstream from the load has the potential to receive a shock even though the fuse has opened the circuit. So to answer the question the placement of the fuse in a circuit is for safety reasons.
