How do you wire contactor for two light circuits through a time clock?
How do you wire a time clock with a contactor with a override switch
Can you plug a motion detector light into an outlet?
Yes of course, power is power, all 110volt, what ever the source in your house (except a dryer circuit that is usually higher).
The difference is the amperage of the circuit. Lighting circuits have amperage controlling breakers that are usually 15amp, power circuits are usually 20amp but excepting a very very unusual condition you would not need to worry about it.
Is there a device that will alarm if power goes out to a refrigerator outlet?
Don't know about a ready made device, but, it can be easily done. All you need is a relay, the coil of which is fed from the same power supply as the refrigerator outlet. Take a feed from a different circuit than that of the refrigerator outlet (eg a fed from a lighting circuit) and wire that through the Normally Open contact of the relay and then on to a simple sounder or alarm or electric bell etc, or even a warning light. An electrican could easily whip something like this up, i would think for minimal cost. Or if your keen u could do it yourself.
Another answerJust Google "refrigerator alarm" and you should get some good results. Refrigerator alarms are available from as low as $9.99How much should you pay for and electrician?
Depends on where you are located. If you have a specific job in mind, call around and ask if they charge by the job or at an hourly rate. Pay may range from $30 to $100 and hour.
Clear wiring which one will be hot?
Even though it is a clear wire, there will be a tracer of raised or indented rib on the wire to identify the neutral. You may have to run your thumbnail around the wire to feel it rather that see it. This ribbed identified wire will be the neutral leaving the other wire to be connected to the hot side of the circuit.
What is the maximum allowable conductor fill of any trade size conduit used as a raceway?
It depends on the wiring, the current load in the wiring , and the distance. The NEC Code book has the charts for this.
And the size of the conduit.
Does lubricating end of light bulb help?
If you are referring to the removal of lamps from the lamp-holder then yes a very light coating of a high temperature grease will help. This problem arose when the lamps came with aluminum screw bases and the lamp-holder manufactures decided to use aluminum on their screw shells instead of the old brass ones. Aluminium screwing into aluminum creates a condition called spalling and the two surfaces tend to weld together. By applying a very light coating of lithium grease to the lamp when installing the bulb will help when removing the bulb when its life is finished.
What size transformer do i need for a dazor floating fixture model?
The sizing of transformers without knowing the input supply voltage and output fixture voltage can not be done. Also needed is the amperage of the floating fixture.
Contactor chatter can be caused by a broken shading ring winding on the pole face of the contactor. Low voltage to the coil can be another reason for contactor chatter. A constant hum on a contactor will be caused by misalignment to the two pole faces. Check for rust building up on the two surfaces.
Can a circuit breaker go bad just by turning it off and on?
A breaker is a mechanical device and certainly would wear some with manual on and off usage, but it should be minimal and should not cause a problem unless it were defective. There are many commercial applications where the breaker is used for daily on/off use for lighting and other functions. The breaker can fail by having a mechanical part malfunction or perhaps arcing between contacts that would corrode or fuse mechanical contacts.
What is the height of an electrical outlet for a washing machine in the Philippines?
In the Philippines, the standard height for an electrical outlet for a washing machine is typically around 1.2 meters (4 feet) from the floor. This height ensures accessibility while minimizing the risk of water exposure. However, it's important to follow local building codes and regulations, as they may vary. Always consult a licensed electrician for specific installations.

What is the position of the ground pin on wall receptacle?
In North America on a 120/240 volt home electrical system, the ground pin on a duplex wall receptacle is on the bottom.
What is the recommended wire size for installing a 1800 watt amplifier?
If you are talking about an amplifier to be installed in a vehicle with a 12 volt system then you would use the formula to find the amps. I = W/E. 1800/12 = 150 amps. A 1/0 copper wire is rated at 150 amps.
See relate links below.
Why use 277v light fixtures instead of 110v light fixtures?
277v light fixtures are more efficient to operate and less expensive to install than a 110v fixture of identical wattage. 277v light fixtures are typically installed when 480V 3 Phase primary electric service supplies a commercial or industrial facility. 277v lighting circuits are single phase circuits using one of the 480v primary phases (A,B & C) to Neutral. The higher voltage allows more fixtures per circuit using smaller conductors and longer runs typically required in warehouse lighting applications.
( Amps = Watts/Volts: 400W/277V Fixture = 1.4 Amps, 400W/110V fixture = 3.6 Amps)
With 480V 3 Phase primary service, 110V Single Phase power is created using a Step-down transformer. The voltage transformation process consumes power (kWh) and the 277V fixture will consume less kWh than a 110V fixture if identical wattage, especially in fixtures with ballasts such as fluorescent or High Intensity Discharge (HID), like Sodium, Metal Halide or Mercury Vapor.
Where do you put light switches to control the light to your basement?
In any situation you want the switch located so you can have light before entering the space. With basements you might use what is called a 3-way switch with one at top and one at bottom of stairs. Think about how you are going to use the space. You wouldn't want to put a single switch at the top of the stairs and then have a TV room downstairs and have to go up the stairs to turn off the lights and then go back downstairs to watch TV. The more control you have over the lighting you use, the better you can tailor lighting to the activity being performed.
What is Copper Grounding Strap?
It is a device that is used to ground vibrating machinery to the ground wire of the device's feeder wire. The strap has extra flexibility that will take the bending and flexing from the machine to the ground terminal. If a wire is used, most times it will stress fracture and break due to the vibration, leaving the device ungrounded.
How you can be able to store charge after switching off the fan?
An electrical device can still be on and charging if the fan is off. If the device is plugged in to the wall, or connected to a battery, chances are it is charging.
If you don't ground equipment that requires it what will happen?
It depends on the equipment. The problems can be anything from a risk of electrical shock to semiconductor failure.
600 volts equals how many amps?
Volts by themselves are 0 amps. Volts cause current to flow, which is measured in amps. But there has to be a circuit, which is essentially a circle for the current to flow in. And current is usually limited by a load, which is any device that utilizes electrical energy. Without a load you have a short circuit which can allow hundreds or thousands of amps to flow until something burns up or a protective device trips, like a breaker or fuse.
No, on a service change all the wires have to be able to carry the current of the highest rated device.
There are tow cables associated with your question. The one from the pole to the meter and the one from the meter to the main electric panel. The one to the meter is the responsibility of the power company and may well be large enough. Since it is in free air its current carrying capacity is not de-rated in the same way as the cable from the meter to your main panel. Since you will have to likely upgrade your main panel it is a good idea to replace the service entry cable to 100 A rating.
