What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
Is red or white neutral for electrical work?
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.
What size wire do you need to run 100 ft 75 amp 230 volt?
Depends on the size of the circuit which you did not list.
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.
3 things in a complete circuit?
battery, wire, and light bulb
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, not a good idea. You have to use a 347 volt ballast.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What size wire and breaker is needed via 20ft length for a Westonhouse 1500w floodlight?
If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.
Will GFCI work properly if 240 volt split into one 3 wire 120 volt circuit?
yes
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
# 3 gauge
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?
Yes, you can always have heavier wire than code requires.
What color is the hot wire in a 120 volt circuit?
In the US of A, it's supposed to be black.
How would a meter be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?
When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
Why is earth wire not needed in a light circuit?
A ground (earth) wire is needed in not just a light circuit but in all circuits that are now installed.
Describe how a meter would be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?
When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.
Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?
No !
