By asking this question you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task. You may or may not get lucky and receive some information in an answer here! If you hope to get enough information on this site to be able to do this job properly and safely, please do not rely on getting accurate information about such a potentially dangerous subject. Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you put just one wire in the wrong place you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire.
How to do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/State) and on the exact location of the junction box you wish to install. If it is anywhere that is subject to water splashes or spray - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, bathroom, shower room, etc., or in a pool-side area - in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician. If you don't want to go to your local library or bookstore - to find and read some books about electrical wiring and appliances and how to install them safely, and to find out about your local Wiring Codes and Regulations - then the best advice anyone should give to you is to call a licensed electrician either to do the job for you or to advise you what you may be allowed to do yourself. : ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL WIRING SAFETY OFFICE BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANYTHING : - BREAKERS, CABLES OR OUTLETS - :
: ON ANY ELECTRICAL POWER CIRCUITS
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
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 much electrical wire loop be left on wires before entering the outlet and switch box?
From where the wires enter the junction box there should be 6 inches of wire left for the electrician to complete the splicing of the circuits. NM cables must be supported within 12 inches of a box. There is no loop of extra wire allowed such as you might find with data or low voltage cables. Most conduits must be supported within 36 inches of a box.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What is the difference between a number 12 wire and a number 6 wire?
# 6 will carry about 40 amps more than a number 12
What gauge wire should be used with a 60amp circuit breaker?
Use AWG # 6 wire.
What wire gauge is needed for a single phase 60 amp circuit?
#6 wire is good for 65 Amps as long as it is type THHN.
Can a 240V electric range outlet be extended by adding a junction box with 6 3 wire?
Yes. Just make sure you keep the junction box accessable to meet code. Also if you are extending the outlet to more than 75 feet away from the panel you should run 4-3 wire.
What size wire do you need to wire a 200 am breaker box?
6

What is the volume of a 6 multiply by 6 multiply 6 metal junction box?
Volume of a box = lbh= Length x Breadth xHeight= 6 x 6 x 6= 216m³ assuming the dimensions you gave were in meters
Can you connect a 6mm earth wire to a 2.5 mm earth wire?
A 6 mm earth wire can be used to replace a 2.5 mm earth wire, but if there is an existing 6 mm earth wire it must be 6 mm all the way to the earth, and not replaced by a smaller wire between it and the earth connection.
Can you use 4 AWG wire with a 6 AWG ground wire to a sub box 100 feet away?
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.
What are the release dates for Petticoat Junction - 1963 Wings 6-6?
Petticoat Junction - 1963 Wings 6-6 was released on: USA: 9 November 1968
How do you change a 6 wire three phase motor to a 3 wire?
The six wire motor is probably a two speed or a dual voltage motor. Look on the underside of the motor's junction box. Here is where the wiring diagram of the motor is pasted. Look on the motor's name plate to see if it is a two speed motor. There will be two sets of amps and RPM and maybe voltages. It could be that six terminals are brought out to terminal box so that it can be connected either in delta or star configuration. As stated above the name plate details would indicate the correct connection.
Why is there No junction 6 on the M27?
Junction 6 was reserved for the M273 motorway to join the M27, however it was never built (I dont know why not).
Know how to wire up a 7.5 signal phase motor 240 volts 6 wires?
do you mean a 7.5 amp 240 volt....there is no such thing as a 7.5 signal phase motor that i have ever heard of...but this may help if you can't locate the plate on the side of the motor for the wiring diagram, look on the inside of the (junction box)
Why would an electric receptacle have 3 hot and 3 neutral wires With one set of wires screwed into the sides of the outlet and the other two sets pushed into the back?
no you have to improperly install it....... :P Shut off the power to the receptacle. Now remove the three black wires from one side of the old receptacle and twist them all together with your pliers. Make a short pigtail 6 inches long, same colour and wire size. Now twist this pigtail into the other three wires. Hold all four wires together with the appropriate size wire nut. Do the same with the white wires. Push all the wires into the back of the receptacle box. Connect the two pigtail wires to the new receptacle black wire to the brass coloured screw, white wire to the silver coloured screw. Screw the new receptacle back into the box, install cover plate, turn the power back on. Done deal.
