What is the Color of neutral wire in 120 volt circuit?
For wiring in the USA the Neutral conductor is required to be white or gray by the National Electrical Code.
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, you cannot wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit. The ballast is designed to operate at a specific voltage, in this case 120 volts, and connecting it to a higher voltage circuit like 347 volts can damage the ballast and pose a safety hazard. It is important to match the voltage rating of the ballast to the circuit it will be connected to.
Which color wire is normally hot on a 120 volt system?
black
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
How do you wire a 120 volt gfci into a 240 volt three wire?
You can't. The 120 volt GFCI is probably just a 2-wire (hot, neutral and ground) You would have to run a new 3-wire (2 hots, neutral and ground). The two hots are how you get the 240 volts (120+120=240). Also you must make sure the wire is gauged properly. #10 wire for 30 amps, #12 wire for 20 amps, etc.
Will GFCI work properly if 240 volt split into one 3 wire 120 volt circuit?
No, a GFCI outlet is designed for use with standard 120-volt circuits. Attempting to use a GFCI outlet with a 240-volt split circuit could cause damage to the outlet, the circuit, and could present a safety hazard. It is not recommended to use a GFCI outlet in this manner.
Why do white wire mark 120v?
Because the white wire on a 120 volt circuit is the neutral wire that is connected to the silver screw on outlets and switches. It is connected to the neutral bar in the service panel.
Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?
No, you cannot simply cap one leg of a 240-volt circuit and change the breaker to convert it into a 120-volt outlet. This requires rewiring the circuit to provide 120 volts, including changing the outlet and possibly other components to be compatible with the lower voltage. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to properly convert the outlet.
Can you wire a 347 volt ballast to a 120 volt fixture?
Yes, but it will not work.
240 volt what is loop is it neutral?
A 240-volt circuit typically consists of two hot wires and a ground wire, with no neutral wire. The hot wires each carry 120 volts, while the ground wire is used for safety purposes. In a 240-volt circuit, the hot wires complete a loop by connecting to a load or device that requires the higher voltage to operate.
How many watts can 14-2 wire run?
14 AWG wire normally supplies 15 amps. Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. Power Factor has a maximum value of one. If you have a 120 volt circuit that would be 15 x 120 = 1800 watts or 1.8 KW. For a 240 volt circuit 3.6 KW.
Can a 240 circuit with red black white and bare ground be changed into two separate 120 volt circuits using the same neutral white wire for both 120 volt circuits?
Yes but it is not compliant with the NEC you can use a 240 volt circuit, (Ground, Hot, Hot) you would use a (either) hot wire with a ground wire and that will be a 120 volt circuit. I strongly advise you not to do this though because a ground wire is not trully meant to carry current and it will not be approved by any inspector.
