Allowable ampacity of 10 copper thin wire rated at 75 degree Celsius?
Isn't it 35, according to the NEC 310.15(B)(16) Table.
Which screw does the black wire go on 20 amp plug?
This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself, or call a professional electrician. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.
Will a 1000 watt generator operate a sump pump?
That depends on the power requirement of the sump pump. A 1000 watt generator (if this is running watts) will produce 1000 watts continuous. Through some simple math, this is equivalent to 8.33 amps at 120 volts. Current (in Amps)=Power (in Watts)divided by Voltage (in Volts). On your sump pump, there is something called a nameplate which lists model number, serial number, manufacturer, and power requirements. The power can either be listed in watts directly, or in amps (at 120v). If it lists watts directly, this number is either higher or lower than your 1000w generator. If it lists amps, your generator will supply 8.33 amps continuous, as figured above. Likewise, you can find out if your generator can power any given load by using this method. Just divide the listed wattage by 120 to get amps. Also, motors do pull higher current when they start, so it is usually recommended to size the generator larger than you would otherwise when you are running a motor, such as your pump. If the sump pump is right up there at 8 amps, it would be pushing the limit to expect it to run the pump. Some smaller generators too are so-called "inverter" units, and many of these are not recommended for motor starting duty. Check the generator's manual to be sure.
700 watts at 110 volts equals how many amp?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What is four core electrical cable use for in UK?

Do you have to Connect both fixture and house ground wires?
If you're asking whether you have to connect the fixture ground to the house ground, you do. The idea is to connect any exposed portion of a metal fixture to ground, keeping anything you would be able to touch from having a hazardous potential on it. The way to do this is to connect the fixture ground (which is connected to the metal chassis) to the building ground (which comes from your electrical panel).
The difference between a 4-wire and a 3-wire is a separate ground and neutral. That being said, all you have to do is connect the ground wire to chassis ground, and the neutral wire directly to the neutral connection. The phase wires are made up the same as the old cord. You must also remove the bonding jumper, but if there isn't one... IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
How many recessed lights for a 11x22 kitchen?
That would depend on the wattage of your lamps used and your personal tastes. There's no hard and fast rule for this type of thing.

What causes your kitchen halogens lights to flicker or dim?
Assuming there's nothing wrong with the light circuit itself, usually a large load on the same branch circuit (circuit breaker) will cause this. Is your refrigerator on the same circuit? When the compressor kicks on, it will drag down the voltage on the entire circuit. This is most easily noticed by flickering or dimming lights.
How do you get electricity from the house to the garage?
If the garage is detached, have a subpanel installed.

Convert oil furnace to electric?
"Converting" an oil furnace to electric will not be economically practical. You'd be far better off getting a "ground source heat pump" and having someone install it for you. They're much more efficient than the older style electric heat that uses resistor heating elements.
What gauge wire for 240 v 60amp to heat pump?
A #6 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 65 and 75 amps respectively.
What does a 3 pole circuit breaker do?
It provides power to 3 conductors simultaneously, and more importantly, disconnects all three conductors simultaneously in case of a fault. A three pole breaker is used with a three phase power system.
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
Electric range wiring specifications?
The most common size wire for an electric range is 3C - #8 connected to a 40 amp two pole breaker for operation on 240 volts.
<<>>
Wiring specifications are located on the unit nameplate, where the serial and model number are.
How can you construct a device that can convert electrical energy to heat energy?
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma. However, a simple resistive load will dissipate heat, thus changing electrical energy to heat energy.
How do we do the Layout for 1200 amp service?
HIRE AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR. If you're not an electrician and you're thinking you can put in a 1200 amp service yourself, you can't. If you need to ask how, you shouldn't even be thinking you can. This is a large job which needs to be completed by an electrical contractor. Period.
How do you check the plugs in a home?
Use a readily available plug tester. You can get these at Home Depot or Lowe's. The plug tester will tell you if the plug operates properly, or if something is wrong with the wiring. It will also tell you what is wrong with the wiring. I would recommend having any issues repaired by a professional electrician. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

How deep should a temporary electric service pole be set in the ground?
There is no specific depth stated. Two to three feed deep with staked angular support from the pole to the ground will do the job fine.
Can you get a solar outlet to hook up a solar street light for outside and where can you get one?
There isn't a Solar outlet to speak of although you could build one with pv panels/batteries etc.
There are Solar Street lights directly available with their own panel however, see the link I added.

Comcast will install the wiring for you. They do not allow homeowners to run their own wire because they lose quality control. Typically Comcast will run a 1 inch conduit for underground installations. The wire most commonly used it RG-6 quad. comcast doesnt install conduits anymore because it was just too costly so it is upto the homeowner to have have that installed by a general contractor and then comcast will have pull in the new line for you.
