Why are two ground bars required in a breaker box?
They are not required in a breaker box. NEC code requires that you have one 8' ground rod outside under the meter and another 8' ground rod around 6' to either side. Reason is safety.There are two ground bars in a distribution panel because the feeders to the load can come out of each side of the panel. The bar on the right side of the panel services the feeders that leave the right side of the panel. The bar on the left side of the panel services the feeders that leave the left side of the panel. This saves congestion of ground wires passing from one side of the panel to the other side, which is what would happen if just one ground bar was installed.
Can you read 120 volts line to neutral even with a severed neutral?
It depends on what side of the break that you are reading from. On the neutral load side of the break there will be no reading. On the panel neutral side of the break you will get a reading.
What is the definition of a load center in the 2008 NEC code book?
In the CEC there is no definition for a load center. In layman terms a load center is; A distribution panel that does not have a disconnect breaker in the same enclosure. A distribution panel that does have a disconnect breaker within the enclosure is called a combination panel.
Will a gfci breaker work when neutrals and grounds are together in main panel or will there have to be a separate ground bar installed and wires separated?
Yes a GFCI will work if the neutrals and ground are to together the main panel. This is considered the line side of feed side of the GFCI. Neutral and ground can not touch down stream from the GFCI or on the load side of the GFCI.
What is the length from the fulcrum to the load?
That is the distance between the load and the fulcrum. The load may be on the far side, or the near side of the fulcrum. One often overlooked fact, is that as the distance from load to fulcrum increases, the load on the fulcrum decreases.
Can you have two different size load wires that is unprotected on a transformers load side?
It is not a recommended practice. The secondary side of the transformer should go to a distribution panel where breakers can be used to protect the different wire sizes and load currents.
Should wires come in the top of a panel box?
They can come in the top or bottom whichever is the best. <<>> If the distribution panel is a load center (no Main disconnect) the above statement is true. If the distribution panel is a combination panel (main disconnect at top of panel) then the load feeds can only be brought in the two sides and the bottom. A combination panel has an internal barrier to separate the main disconnect from the load side of the distribution board.

What is the most likely location of a CD changer in a 2000 range rover?
It is located in the load space inside the left side panel of the vehicle.
Were is the air ride pump for the load adjusting rear shocks on a 1991 Chrysler new yorker?
the right rear side of the car, behind the tire, it is the rightmost side of the trunk of the car, there is a black plastic panel. it is behind that panel. you access it from outside the car.
What measured load can you put on an electrical panel?
If you have a measured continuous load of say 80 Amps, you would want to have a panel rated at 100 A. For continuous load you want to be at 80% of rated capacity.

How do you calculate the load for a dc panel board?
Summation of individual load connected on the board gives the total load. Power (Load ) = Voltage x rated current.
What is load compensation?
compensation of load by connecting a compensating device which adjust the real and reactive power in the distribution side or load side.
Where are all the controls on most circuits?
Power supply
