Why do Electricians always insist on working on live circuits when rewiring something instead of turning off the power first?
EcclesJordanTrigger
1. They don't "always" insist on working on live circuits. Sometimes they feel confident enough that they don't want to take the trouble; but it's never a good idea. Just as any trade dealing with hazardous conditions, people often become complacent, and push the rules of safety.
2. Not all electricians work on live circuits unnecessarily.

Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
Should electricians use a fiberglass ladder instead of medal?
Would be a good idea you prick
What does it take to get your electrician certification in Missouri?
Missouri does not have state-wide licensing standards for electricians. Instead, it is left to the individual counties and municipalities to establish standards. St. Charles County, for example, only licenses experienced electricians who have passed the Master Electrician Exam from the ICC: http://www.iccsafe.org/Accreditation/Pages/default.aspx In your city/town, check with the Mayor's office to find out which agency licenses electricians and proceed from there.
Why are MOSFETs used in motor control circuits instead of bipolar junction transistors?
Actually either can be used.
What happens when you don't protect your circuits?
Instead of blowing a fuse you'll blow up a light bulb if there is a surge.
Why leds are used instead of bulb in circuits?
Smaller Longer Lifespan/More reliable Less power used
Why modern devices use integrated circuit instead of vacuum tubes?
Modern devices use integrated circuits instead of vacuum tubes because integrated circuits occupy less space than vacuum tubes, are more efficient, consumes less energy and are more reliable than vacuum tubes.
How do you rewire UK lamps to work in Canada?
you need a transformer (instead of rewiring) from 220v to 110v The above answer will work but it is not correct. All lighting fixtures installed in Canada have to be CSA certified. If you really like the design of the lamp then you could consider rewiring it with certified CSA components You can buy replacement lamp parts at any DIY outlet. Change out the lamp cord and plug end along with the lamp (bulb) holder and you will have a certified fixture.
Why many modern electronic devices use integrated circuits instead of vacuum tubes?
Integrated circuits consume less power, are smaller, can be more complex in a much smaller space and are cheaper to make for similar functions than vacuum tubes.
How do you make a series circuits?
The components are not connected directly across the power supply. Instead they are 'daisy chained', the output of one leads into the input of the next.
Why is H2O is what it is and not something else?
Because if it were something else you'd be asking why it is that instead of what it is.
What is time in leu?
Time instead (of) something.
