As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed and to advise you what you may be allowed to do yourself. 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-energized.

Why window space factor decrease on the voltage rating of transformer increase?

for given power,High voltage transformer requires more insulation in window from phase to phase and phase to core.Amount of insulation in window increases and net copper area will decrease,Window space factor=(Net copper area in window/window area)Kw = Ac/AwHence, with increase in voltage rating,net copper area decreases and ultimately window space factor reduces.

What is the correct light switch distance from a window?

In the United States, I am unaware of any minimum distance required from a window. There may be a local code where you live or work that establishes a requirement.


Can you use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt dc system?

No, you cannot use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt DC system. This is because the switch would not be able to handle the current necessary to power the window motor. The amount of current required to open a window in a 12 volt DC system is typically much higher than 10 amps, and so the switch would not be able to cope with the load. In addition, the switch would not be able to sustain the current necessary to keep the window open, which could lead to the window becoming stuck in the open position. Furthermore, the switch would not be able to handle the circuit protection requirements necessary to keep the window safe. For these reasons, it is not recommended to use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt DC system.


How far are electrical services required to be from windows on a residential home in USA?

In the USA the National Electrical Code prohibits the "point of attachment" of an overhead electric service to be within 36 inches of an openable window, doorway, or porch... in other words they do not want a person to be able to reach out of a building opening and be able to touch exposed live power wires. I believe this rule applies to all buildings not just residential. The "point of attachment" is the area near the top of the building's electrical conduit where the building wires are spliced to the utility company wires. This is the only area where there should be exposed power wires. There is no distance limitation from windows and doors for the remainder of the electrical service that has no exposed power wires, such as the conduits, meters, panels
