Does ground wire need to be a solid wire?

No, ground wires do not need to be solid. They can be either solid or stranded depending on the application and the relevant codes and standards. Stranded wires are more flexible and are commonly used in areas where there is vibration or movement.


Do I need two ground wires -one for each socket- if I split an outlet?

No, you do not need two ground wires if you split an outlet. The ground wire can be shared between the two new outlets, as long as it is connected properly to both of them. Make sure the ground wire is securely connected to both outlets to ensure proper grounding for safety.


If there are two black and one white wire in ceiling light do I need to use both black for the switch to work?

If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).


What is the minimum size grounding conductor?

Sizing of ground conductors is based on the load capacity in amps of the generator. There is a table in the electrical code book which states an amperage and what size ground wire that is needed for that amperage.


How do you wire an older 2 wire 30 amp compressor to a 3 wire 30 amp dryer plug?

I am guessing that the dryer is 220-240 VAC as is the compressor. I also assume that the third wire on the dryer is a ground. You need to make sure that the metal chassis on the compressor is not connected to the two wires. You then need to create a covered junction box where you have the two existing wires and a ground wire that you connect to the compressor metal chassis with a screw type connector. Ground wire should be 10 AWG. Now you have three wires. Connect the two hot wires of supply to two original wires on compressor and ground wire to the chassis ground.

How do you reset a GFI?

To reset a GFCI you need to first correct any ground faults in the circuit - or some other other fault in the equipment and/or its flexible cord and/or its plug - being protected by the GFCI, which is causing an imbalance in the currents flowing in the hot and neutral wires. Ground faults are usually caused by wet electrical equipment. Then you need to press the RESET button on the GFCI.

What is reverse protectism?

All batteries have two terminals, one positive and one negative, and usually they need to be hooked up right for the equipment to work. Some equipment will be damaged if you hook the battery up the wrong way - reverse polarity. Equipment that has reverse polarity protection has something in them which makes them able to stand being hooked up wrong w/o being damaged.

What would you do if the equipment is grounded?

Well it looks like you are going to have to wait to play with the equipment. He can't come out today because he is grounded. But really, if it is grounded then the equipment is not going to electrocute you. You need to ground they equipment. If it is ungrounded then there is danger
