If live is kept open could it trip circuit breaker by connecting neutral to ground?

Yes, keeping a live wire open can potentially trip a circuit breaker if the neutral and ground are connected. This can create a potential difference between neutral and ground, leading to a fault current that may trip the breaker. It is unsafe to have a live wire left open and in contact with other conductors.


Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?

A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.


How do you fix a light switch after two live wires touch?

There has to be more to this question for a good answer. For the most part a light switch has two contacts, with a wire at each one. One live wire and another going to the light itself. There is also a neutral wire return (from the light to the electrical panel). There is only one live wire in any electrical circuit. [Please, don't flame me with examples of multiple electrical sources in circuitry. We're talking about home lighting.] If somehow you shorted the live wire from the switch to the electrical box (ground) or to another wire in the box, it was only momentary and you can just proceed with replacing the switch. It's a good idea to turn off the power first.


How do you connect 4 wire timer model tmdf702zh2?

To connect a 4-wire timer model TMD-F702ZH2, first identify the wires: typically, two for the power supply (live and neutral) and two for the load (common and normally open or normally closed). Connect the live wire to the timer's live terminal and the neutral wire to the neutral terminal. Then, connect the load wires to the appropriate terminals based on your desired operation (NO or NC). Finally, ensure all connections are secure and power on the timer to test its functionality.


Is black or grey wire live?

The black wire originating from a breaker box or fuse box is the live wire. However, in certain cases, the grey (or white) neutral wire can also be live. For example, the black wire may feed a lighting outlet, and if the neutral wire is broken on its way back to the neutral bar in the panel, then the neutral wire from the lighting outlet will be hot, because there is an electrical path from the black wire, through the light, and to the neutral. The point is, always check with a voltmeter before assuming the white or grey wire is not live.

How can I fix open ground with no ground wire in my electrical system?

To fix open ground without a ground wire in your electrical system, you can install a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. This device can provide protection against electrical shocks even without a ground wire. It is important to consult a licensed electrician for proper installation and safety precautions.

If the isulation on the live wire wears through the can become live but it wont stay live why?

The "can" or metal case of an appliance is supposed to be grounded so if the "live" wire touches it then the breaker or fuse will trip open and remove the power to the wire to prevent the person touching the appliance from being shocked.

How can I fix an open ground in an electrical circuit?

To fix an open ground in an electrical circuit, you need to identify the source of the issue, which could be a loose wire or a faulty outlet. Once you locate the problem, you can reattach or replace the wire to ensure a proper connection to the ground. It is important to follow safety precautions and consult a professional electrician if needed.

How can I fix an open ground on an outlet?

To fix an open ground on an outlet, you can first turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker. Then, check the wiring connections to ensure the ground wire is properly connected to the outlet. If the ground wire is loose or disconnected, reattach it securely. Finally, test the outlet with a multimeter to confirm that the ground is now properly connected.

Why won't 89 Chrysler new yorker headlights turn on?

First. Check the fuse. Second, make sure the headlight doors open. If the doors won't open, the headlights may be on, behind the doors. If it's the doors, a quick fix is, wire them in the open position, till you fix or replace the headlight door motor. (a whole different matter) You could wire them in the open position but you don't have to. If you look under the front of the car you will see where the wire plugs into the motor that operates the headlight doors, unplug this wire. Then look below each headlight door and you will see a rod hanging down, this is there to operate your headlight doors in case the doors don't open. Turn these rods until your doors open and they will stay open until you plug your wire to motor back up, or you close them yourself.
