Dedicated circuits are ones that originate at the power panel and supply power to a pre-determined device(s). You test them with a multimeter, or other such electrical test equiment.

Which size wire and breaker do you need for a dishwasher?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.A dedicated circuit of #14 copper wire fed from a 15 amp single pole breaker is all that is needed for a dishwasher.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
In the United States is a neutral wire used in 120 VAC circuits?
Yes, in most cases it is the white wire. (the black or red wire is the hot and the bare wire is the ground.)
Why is a red colored wire in a 120 volt circuit and what does it do?
It is used as a hot wire. <<>> In a three conductor cable set the third wire colour is red. In home wiring a three wire cable is used in a couple of locations. If the circuit involves a three way switching circuit, the cable between the two light junction boxes is fed with a three wire cable. Check the Internet for three way lighting connections. The other location a three wire cable is used is in split circuitry. Your kitchen counter receptacles use this method of wiring. The tie bar in the receptacle is removed on the hot (brass colour) side of the receptacle and the red wire is connected to the top brass screw and the black wire is then connected to the bottom brass screw of the receptacle. The white wire, as always, is connected to the silver coloured screw of the receptacle. Another example of using a three wire cable is to take two circuits from the distribution panel to two separate circuits on the other side of the house instead of running two, two wire circuits. The three wire cable is terminated in a junction box and two two wire circuits are feed from this junction box to the circuits that require power. The two two wire circuits will use the white wire of the three wire cable as a common neutral.
A safety device for circuits with a piece of wire that melts to break the circuit?
It is a circut breaker.
What is a constant wire?
Constantan wire is a resistance-wire made of 42% nickel, 1.25% manganese, 0.25% iron and the rest is copper. It is mainly used in making wire-wound rheostats and potentiometers in electrical circuits.

How do you connect motor from battery?
There are two circuits on the battery and motor. One wire is take which have four ends. The wire is connected on the desired circuits.
Can you wire lighting fictures to receptical circuits?
Yes as long as you stay within your local code. Usually a combination of lights and receptacles cannot exceed ten total. Do not wire any light to a circuit that requires a dedicated circuit, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.
What is blaniers test?
Blaniers Test is used in electronics to establish and locate short circuits and/or open circuits in cabling systems. It is a simple continuity test.
How do you wire Resistors required for led combination circuits?
in series
When did NEC require 3 wire circuits in a home?
1960
What ampacity should branch circuit conductors have?
Branch circuits wire sizes are governed by the connected load amperage of the circuit. The wire size ampacity then governs the size of the breaker that is used to protect the circuit from overloading. For general home wiring circuits the conductors used are, receptacles and lighting #14 - 15 amps, dedicated circuits load dependant, hot water tank and baseboard heaters #12 - 20 amps, clothes dryer #10 - 30 amps, range #8 -- 40 amps.

What causes circuits to short?
A live wire coming in contact with a ground.
When is white wire hot?
In residential wiring, if it is used as a switch leg or in 3 wire 240 volt circuits.
