How do you jump wires off three way switch?

Like any other switch: you fasten a pigtail to the screw terminal and use wire nuts to connect all other wires to the other end of the pigtail. Why you would ever want to do that in a 3-way would be a head-scratcher for a different question.


What are the dangers of pigtail surge protector?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.There are no dangers to using a pigtail surge protector. The installation of the protector must be done correctly though. The pigtails must not be installed on an existing circuit that has an existing load on it unless the breaker is approved for more than one circuit load on it. The protector must use a new two pole breaker with no additional load on it except the surge protector. This is the correct procedure to connect a pigtail surge protector to a distribution panel board.


Does it matter if a 30A dryer is plugged into a 30A outlet through a 50A pigtail?

for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service.If the current draw through the circuit is less than the rated current of the circuit then there is no problem. In this case if it is a 30 Amp dryer fed through a 50 amp outlet on a pigtail that has a 30 Amp plugplugged into a 30 Amp outleton a circuit protected by a 30 Amp breaker No worries! It is wise to place an over-current device (fuses or circuit breakers) in your pigtail, though.-EDIT- Only if it's a 50A outlet. If you have 50A wiring on a 30A breaker you are quite safe.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


How do you connect old home wiring to new wiring without a pigtail connection-There is not enough slack in the old wiring to pigtail and use a connector?

If there is not enough slack to create a pigtail connection, you can use a junction box to extend the old wiring. Cut the old wire short, strip the insulation, and connect it to a new wire with a wire nut inside the junction box. Make sure to secure the junction box properly and follow all local electrical codes.
