The electrical code states that there shall not be more than 12 outlets on a two wire branch circuit. Such outlets shall be considered to be rated at not less than 1 amp per outlet.Where the connected load is known, the number of outlets shall be permitted to exceed 12, provided that the load current does not exceed 80% of the rating of the over current device protecting the circuit.
What else can I help you with?
Are lights onor off in an open circuit?
If the lights are the load of the circuit, then the lights will be off if the circuit is open.
In an closed circuit will the lights be on or off?
In a closed circuit, the lights will be on, assuming there is a power source connected to the circuit and the switch controlling the lights is turned on. This is because the closed circuit allows the flow of electricity from the power source to the lights, completing the circuit and causing the lights to illuminate.
When a home circuit breaker opens the lights in some rooms go off but the lights in some rooms stay on. Explain why.?
The circuit breakers in a panelboard feed separate circuits. The lights that stay on are on a different circuit than the ones that go off. To fine the circuit that feeds the lights that stay on, go to the panelboard and turn off the breakers one by one until the lights go out. This is the circuit that feeds that circuit of lights. Remember that lights and receptacles can be on the same circuit together.
Are the lights and outlets in this room connected to the same circuit?
To determine if the lights and outlets in a room are connected to the same circuit, you can check the circuit breaker panel. If the lights and outlets are on the same circuit, flipping the breaker for that circuit will turn off both the lights and outlets. If they are on separate circuits, turning off the breaker for the lights will only affect the lights, and the outlets will still have power.
If the lights in a room are off the circuit is?
If the lights in a room are off, the circuit is open, meaning there is a break in the flow of electricity and the lights cannot receive power. When the lights are turned on, the circuit is closed, allowing electricity to flow and power the lights.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
How many lights can you have on a circuit?
15 amps at 80% = 12 amps continuous. Watts = Amps x Volts.
How do you make a circuit so the lights can be turned on and off separatley?
To design a circuit so that lights can be turned on and off separately, we connect the circuit in parallel.
What is a circuit that lights up even if one bulb is out?
A parallel circuit lights up even when one bulb is out.
What type of circuit off all lights when you take on bulb out?
If you remove one light from a chain of lights, and the other lights turn off, then it is a 'series' circuit.
How do you make a light circuit flash?
Wire in a turn signal flasher in series with the circuit you wish to flash. The flasher has two terminals. Just insert the flasher anywhere in the circuit. It will make/break the circuit to make the lights flash. This is considering that the circuit is 12 volts and not 120 volts.
Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
