How do you wire 3 lights with 3 individual swithes from one junction box?

Power coming into the box powering all 3 switches. A 12/2 or 14/2 wire going to each light from each switch depending on the size power wire you are using. They must be the same size wire. All the whites tied together and pushed back in the box. All the grounds tied together with a long jumper wire going to the ground screw of each switch. The black power wire connected to all three switches (bottom screw) with a long jumper wire. The black wires from each light connected to the 3 individual switches (top screw).

How do you find the length of wire used to form a cuboid?
You add up all the individual pieces. That would be 4 times the length + 4 times the width + 4 times the height.
What is 12-4 wire?
12-4 wire = 8
A scientist is working with meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters?
A scientist is working with 10 meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters
How many syllables are in the word wire?
The word wire has one syllable.
What is the formula to calculate length of the wire?
There is no formula to calculate the length of a wire. The length of a wire is determined by the distance from the power source to where the load is situated.
Do wire nuts have to be inside junction box when installing porch lights?
The wire nuts do not have to be inside the junction box. They must, however, be as tight as possible to keep moisture from inside the light fixture.
Have 120 volts going to outlets and lights but yet the plugs and lights don't work?
Check with a reliable voltmeter on the wire into outlets. If no power then it's disconnected in a junction box somewhere.
How do you wire license plate lights on a gas scooter?
to wire the license plate lights you must have lights and wire them to the scooter.
Can you mix aluminum wire with romex in a junction box?
No, do not mix aluminum wire with copper wire.
Can copper wire be used for thermocouple extention?
No. A thermocouple is made from two dissimilar wires. At the junction of these two wires, an electrical signal is generated that is measured in millivolts. If you insert another type of wire, such as copper, then you have introduced another electrical junction. Your signal will be (millivolt from junction 1 + millivolt from junction 2). <><><> Maybe. A thermocouple measures the temperature difference between the sensing junction (where the two different metal wires meet) and the other end of the wire, the reference junction. If you extend a thermocouple with copper wire, you will measure the temperature difference between the junction and the location where the copper extension is spliced on. If the copper splice is the same temperature as the reference junction, or if you can measure the temperature at the splice, then it will be fine. In general, it is better to run the thermocouple wire to the reference junction.
Can a 240V wire be run from the junction box and not the service box?
Junction box for what? Do you mean a sub panel?
Do you need to use TC extension wire to connect a thermocouple or can you use shielded cable?
You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.
How do you extend an 240v wire circuit 2 feet longer?
If you do not add a junction box it looks like new wire all the way from the old junction box with new wire that is longer. It's a tough place to be.
How to extend a wire if an existing wire is short in the junction box?
The answer depends on what type of access you have to the junction box. The wire external to the box may have some slack that can be brought into the box. If everything is tight you will probably have to install one or more additional junction boxes or rerun wire from electric panel. As an example assume that the short wire has no external slack, but you can install a new junction box near the other box and in the path of the short wire. 1. Pull the short wire from existing junction box. 2. Install new box in path of short wire so more slack will be available in the additional junction box; and pull wire into new box. 3. Run a wire of the same size from new to old box and re-splice any connections for original short wire or new connections; and connect this new wire to the original short wire in the new box. Make sure you follow all code requirements for your locale.
How do you wire brake lights for Honda cbr 1000?
how do i wire my brake lights on my Honda 1000
Park avenue dash lights go out and gauges go backward when head lights turned on or brake lights go on?
The solution that I found was with the red wire from the positive battery post to the terminal junction on the fuse box that is located near the battery. The other wire that connects to the same bolt terminal is from the alternator. I cleaned the corrosion from both wire ends and also the base of the fuse box terminal where they bolted together. Everything works well now! Not even a flicker on the dash lights. I would suggest checking all wires and wire ends and cleaning or replacing to clear up any issues with lights or dash gauges flickering or acting irradically.
Can you junction box 8ga wire with 10ga wire?
There is no restriction on different size wires being spliced in the same junction box. If your question involves splicing 8ga. to 10ga, this also is not a problem so long as the circuit allows for 10ga wire.
