I am trying to put up a light fixture but it has three wires a white one a black one and a Coppertone where does the coopertoned wire go?
The bare copper wire is a ground wire. if your old electrical system only has black and white, then you don't have a ground wire to hook the new fixture's ground to. Safest bet is to run a ground wire to that junction box (or hire an electrician to do that). If the box in the ceiling (I'm assuming its a ceiling fixture) is metal, the home's electrical system ground wire may be attached to the metal box itself. If that's the case, you simply need to attach your new fixture's ground wire (the bare copper one) to the metal box. If in doubt -- have an electrician look at it.
How do you fix a light switch after two live wires touch?
There has to be more to this question for a good answer. For the most part a light switch has two contacts, with a wire at each one. One live wire and another going to the light itself. There is also a neutral wire return (from the light to the electrical panel). There is only one live wire in any electrical circuit. [Please, don't flame me with examples of multiple electrical sources in circuitry. We're talking about home lighting.] If somehow you shorted the live wire from the switch to the electrical box (ground) or to another wire in the box, it was only momentary and you can just proceed with replacing the switch. It's a good idea to turn off the power first.
What property determines the material used for the inside of an electrical wire?
The materials conductivity will be one factor of an electrical wire.
Into what should electric wire sheathing not project more than one inch?
Electrical wire sheathing should not project by more than one inch into where the wire terminates into a specific device. An example is a junction box or branch circuits terminating into a distribution panel.
How does one install pendant lighting?
The most important step is to make sure that the electricity is turned off to the project being worked on. Put a mounting bracket over the electrical box and tighten the screws. Twist the grounding wire to the grounding screw. Put the pendant together as per the instructions provided. Hold the canopy section near the electrical box. Using wire nuts, connect the wires from the canopy to the electrical box, keeping like colors together. Put the wire connectors in the electrical box. Using the hardware that the light came with, affix the canopy to the bracket. Turn the power back on and test to make sure it works.
Will a man get electrocuted if he sits on one electrical wire?
if he had bunyans
How do you use NiChrome wire?
One use for NiChrome wire is to make electrical heating elements.
Why is wire needed to make a circuit?
Wire carries the electrical energy from one part to another
Can you replace a two wire with a one wire alternator?
Yes. Instructions come in the box.
How could you get more than one electrical circuit in the garage?
Run another wire from the electrical panel.
How do you make a bulb glow with one wire?
This is usually done by passing an electrical current through the wire.
How do you complete a sentence that begins with 'Electrical wire sheathing should not'?
Electrical wire sheathing should not project more than about one inch into the electric panel.
