When a GFCI senses a fault the ground-fault current can originate from what either the hot or neutral wire on the line side of the GFCI either the hot or neutral wire on the load side of the GFCI?
In a very real sense, a "ground fault" cannot come from the neutral side, since, if your wiring is performing as designed, there should be little potential between the neutral and ground. A ground fault is said to occur when the current OUT, through the "hot" side is not equal to the current BACK, through the neutral, meaning that current is leaking to somewhere else... such as through your body. Having said all that, it is certainly possible that you could cause a GFCI to trip by introducing current to the neutral from a circuit that does not go through the GFCI breaker; but that would involve non-standard wiring practices.
Why would a GFCI trip with no load connected?
Are any of the outlets OUTDOORS? If so, and if an outlet is getting wet, it will trip the GFIC immediately. If that's not it, unplug everything, reset the GFI and see what happens. If it still trips, make certain that the wires aren't getting wet somewhere. If THAT'S not helpful, replace the GFI.
How do you change an outlet to a GFCI outlet?
come in your line side of the gfci and out the load side and onto the next device,which will make it gfci protected.You can go as far as 3-6 depending on the inspecter having juridiction and the manufacture specs on the gfci device you bought.keep in mind that if it trips then all connected devices in that series will also trip
Could a gfi power outlet go bad and not let power on in that run?
Yes, a GFCI outlet can go bad and prevent power from coming through. If the GFCI outlet is faulty or has tripped, it can interrupt the flow of electricity to the entire circuit. In this case, replacing the GFCI outlet may be necessary to restore power to the affected area.
Can you plug a GFCI plug into an extension cord?
If this question is asking if, by using a GFCI, you can protect some equipment controlled by an existing switch, the answer is Yes. My first guess would be that you probably don't need to. A switch that is controlling lighting in an area with a GFCI, such as a bathroom, should - if it was installed correctly - already be controlling a proper lighting fixture. By this I mean if the fixture is above the shower it will be of a type that is safety-listed 'for use in wet locations'. That type of light fixture does not need to be protected by a GFCI since it is designed for use around water. How to feed a switch from a GFCI: Without GFCI protecting the switch: Connect a hot (usually black) wire from the "LINE" side of the GFCI (which will be marked) to one brass screw of the switch. (Assumption is single pole switch.) Connect another hot wire from the other brass screw of the switch to the light fixture or load's hot wire. Connect a neutral (white or gray) from the LINE side of the GFCI all the way to the load neutral without stopping anywhere. Connect all grounds. To GFCI protect the switch: The procedure is the same except you will use the hot and neutral from the "LOAD" side of the GFCI. This will cause the GFCI to interrupt power should a ground fault occur on the switched load. 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 to wire a split capacitor motor?
Your two hot wires go to the load side of your contractor and the two brown wires go to your capacitor
Can you have two different size load wires that is unprotected on a transformers load side?
It is not a recommended practice. The secondary side of the transformer should go to a distribution panel where breakers can be used to protect the different wire sizes and load currents.

What wires conductors would go under x lug in a transformer?
The primary side of a transformer is identified as the H side, eg. H1,H2,H3,H4. The secondary side of a transformer is identified as the X side. Eg. X1, X2. Usually X1 goes to a fuse and then to the load, X2 is usually the neutral side and is grounded to the body of the transformer.
What do you do if your computer wont load adult swim games?
Get a life and go out side.
Do GFCI breakers go bad over time?
Yes, GFCI breakers can go bad over time due to wear and tear, electrical surges, or other factors. It is recommended to test GFCI breakers regularly and replace them if they are not functioning properly.
How much total load used in single phase?
Single phase loads can go as high as the connected device requires. Of course the higher you go with the load , so goes the equipment to support it. Larger wires sizes, breakers etc..
Do GFCI outlets go bad over time?
Yes, GFCI outlets can go bad over time due to wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or electrical surges. It is important to test GFCI outlets regularly and replace them if they are not functioning properly to ensure safety.
Why does the ignition wires on a F150 1998 with 4.6 go bad are they not heavy duty enough?
The wires are fine, they were engineered to handle the electrical load of normal operation. If the wires have overheated it's because something shorted out or someone connected the electrical wrong.

Where do the wires go on a pressure switch you got two wires from the panel then two wires out to the pump?
A typical pressure switch has 4 contacts. You are switching 220 volts. When the switch is open the supply side and pump side are not connected to each other. So you just need to connect the two wires from supply to one side of the switch and the pump to the other. It doesn't matter which wire on a given side is connected to which terminal on that side.
