What would be the correct wiring for 3 sets of wires into a GFCI outlet?

I'm assuming your 3 sets of wires are black or red, or some other color normally associated with the "hot" wire, a white for neutral and a green or bare conductor for ground. If your GFCI protects only itself and no other receptacles, you splice all the wires of the same color together and attach 'pig tails' to your splice to connect to the GFCI. If your GFCI protects other receptacles 'down stream', you connect only the hot and neutral feed from the panel to the line side of the receptacle. Then you splice the others together as described above and connect your pig tails to the load side. "Line" and "load" should be clearly marked on the GFCI. Your ground in this case is still all spliced together with a pigtail for connection to the GFCI. Line is from the panel. Load is to other receptacles. Getting these reversed will prohibit your GFCI from functioning properly.


Can you connect two fans and six outlets to one 20 amp breaker?

No, the six outlets are not amperage rated to be connected to a 20 amp circuit. A normal 15 amp receptacle can not be protected by a 20 amp breaker. Change the 20 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. This combination will pass code regulations. =============== In the United States, in a home, you can connect two hard-wired (not cord and plug connected) fans and six receptacles (outlets) to a single 20 amp circuit provided the 2 fans do not draw more than 10 amps together. If they are cord and plug connected, this limitation on the fans does not apply. In commercial and industrial installations, power to hard-wired equipment is provided on different circuits than receptacles.

How do you install multiple GFCI receptacles?

A GFCI receptacle can extend its protection to regular receptacles connected to the output side of the GFCI. Each actual GFCI receptacle should be directly connected to a breaker in electric panel.


Have 240v 30amp breaker need to connect a 240volt 40 amp cooktop can you do this I have a 103 600volt wire the cooktop power supply requires 240volt 4 wire 60 hz?

Yes you can. As long as you don't use 40 amps. The 30 amp breaker may kick off if you use all things at once. So you are well protected but not up to code. The 4th wire required for the new stove is probably a ground fault wire. So run a new cable or cook slower.

Can you use 40 amp breaker for your lights and plug ins?

If you are referring to house wiring then the answer is no. A breaker protects the wire size that is connected to the breaker. In home wiring most homes are wired with a #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. That is why the wire is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The correct wire size to connect to a 40 amp breaker is a #8. This size wire is too large to connect to receptacles an light fixture terminals.


Can dimmers control switched receptacles intended for plug in lamps?

You can wire a dimmer into any circuit. The issue is where you do it for a specific outlet. The dimmer would just have to connect to a single outlet and not all outlets on the same circuit. The issue is getting a dimmer that is compatible with the device you are dimming. Some lighting requires special dimmers.

These are not used by competent electricians, IMO.)
