What else can I help you with?
Can one convert a two prong outlet to a three prong outlet?
Yes, provided that you have a ground wire in the box and that the ground wire is properly connected in the electric panel.
Can you box in an electrical panel in an open room?
That depends on what you mean by "box in". You must always provide access to an electrical panel.
What is a sub panel?
A sub-panel is always fed from a main panel. The main panel is situated where the electrical service wiring first enters the main structure on a dwelling plot or building site.A sub-panel can be situated within the same building as the main panel or it can be in a subsidiary building or structure (such as a garage, garden shed or workshop) that is separate from the main building.More informationA sub-panel is another name for a secondary breaker box, just as "the main panel" is another name for "the main breaker-box"."Breaker-box" and/or "panel" are just alternative short names that are used instead of the full name "circuit breaker box".
Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.
Can you run a 240v wire from the electrical panel then put a junction box to run it where you want?
A 240 volt wire is the insulation factor of the wire. If you mean a 240 supply source from a distribution panel to a junction box then the answer is yes. You have to keep in mind that the box has to be accessible, meaning that you can get to the box to check the splice within the box. Don't bury the junction box behind the wall board.

Where is the electric box located outside the house?
The electric box is typically located outside the house, near the meter or on the side of the house.
What is the wire that runs from the electric meter to the breaker box called?
The wire that runs from the electric meter to the breaker box is called the service entrance cable or service wire. It is responsible for carrying the electricity from the meter into your home's electrical system through the breaker box.
The electric meter for a new house is furnished by the?
The electric meter for a new house is typically furnished by the local utility company responsible for providing electricity to the property. They will install the meter to track the amount of electricity used and bill accordingly.
Where the circuit breakers are located?
Circuit breakers are typically located in a centralized electrical panel, which is commonly found in basements, utility rooms, or garages of homes and buildings. The panel is usually a metal box with a hinged door that can be opened to access the circuit breakers inside.
What is the minimum distance allowed between the electric meter box and the liquid petroleum gas regulator?

Why would your electric meter to house turn slow if you have the main turned off?
If your main breaker is open and the utility meter is still measuring current, you probably have another circuit tapped ahead of the main. Usually there will be some sort of junction box with a breaker or fuse in it that is located close to the main panel and probably connected to the main panel with conduit. If you do not see a junction box in close proximity to the main panel then carefully remove the front cover of the main panel and look for a couple smaller wires that are tightened into the cable side of the main breaker. Either that, or check for a few wires that run out of the panel through the same conduit that runs to the meter. Those would be the two most likely terminations used by somebody (previous owner) trying to add a circuit to a full panel. If you can locate that tap, you should be able to follow the wire to determine what the load is. Although I've never heard of a meter measuring current when there is no load on it, you will need to call the utility company if you cannot find a circuit tapped ahead of the main breaker. They own the meter.
What are switches in a circuit box called?
Generally relays or contactors If you are talking about an electric panel in your house, they are called breakers.
How do you disconnect service from an electric meter box?
To disconnect service from an electric meter box, you will typically need to contact your utility provider to request a service disconnection. They will send a technician to physically disconnect the service at the electric meter box to ensure it is done safely and in compliance with regulations. It is not recommended to attempt to disconnect the service yourself.
How long it takes to install a domestic electric meter for a new customer?
The installation of a domestic electric meter for a new customer typically takes around 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the setup and any existing infrastructure. This can vary based on factors such as accessibility to the meter location, type of meter being installed, and scheduling availability of the utility company.
How do you wire a 100 amp breaker box and a 100 amp safety switch right from the power meter?
To wire a 100 amp breaker box and safety switch from the power meter, you will need to connect the hot wire from the meter to the main breaker in the breaker box. From there, you will connect the individual circuits to the breakers. The safety switch should be connected after the breaker box to provide an additional level of protection. It's crucial to follow all local building codes and regulations when performing electrical work.
