How do you wire 3 lights with 3 individual swithes from one junction box?

Power coming into the box powering all 3 switches. A 12/2 or 14/2 wire going to each light from each switch depending on the size power wire you are using. They must be the same size wire. All the whites tied together and pushed back in the box. All the grounds tied together with a long jumper wire going to the ground screw of each switch. The black power wire connected to all three switches (bottom screw) with a long jumper wire. The black wires from each light connected to the 3 individual switches (top screw).

How do you find the length of wire used to form a cuboid?
You add up all the individual pieces. That would be 4 times the length + 4 times the width + 4 times the height.
What is 12-4 wire?
12-4 wire = 8
A scientist is working with meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters?
A scientist is working with 10 meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters
How many syllables are in the word wire?
The word wire has one syllable.
What is the cost of wiring a 1500 square foot home?
The average cost to wire a 1500 square foot home can range anywhere between $ 9,000- $12,000. Price depends mostly on number of light fixtures, recessed lights and choice of finishes. For more info visit www.albrightllc.com
Do wire nuts have to be inside junction box when installing porch lights?
The wire nuts do not have to be inside the junction box. They must, however, be as tight as possible to keep moisture from inside the light fixture.
Have 120 volts going to outlets and lights but yet the plugs and lights don't work?
Check with a reliable voltmeter on the wire into outlets. If no power then it's disconnected in a junction box somewhere.
Can you mix aluminum wire with romex in a junction box?
No, do not mix aluminum wire with copper wire.
How do you wire license plate lights on a gas scooter?
to wire the license plate lights you must have lights and wire them to the scooter.
Can copper wire be used for thermocouple extention?
No. A thermocouple is made from two dissimilar wires. At the junction of these two wires, an electrical signal is generated that is measured in millivolts. If you insert another type of wire, such as copper, then you have introduced another electrical junction. Your signal will be (millivolt from junction 1 + millivolt from junction 2). <><><> Maybe. A thermocouple measures the temperature difference between the sensing junction (where the two different metal wires meet) and the other end of the wire, the reference junction. If you extend a thermocouple with copper wire, you will measure the temperature difference between the junction and the location where the copper extension is spliced on. If the copper splice is the same temperature as the reference junction, or if you can measure the temperature at the splice, then it will be fine. In general, it is better to run the thermocouple wire to the reference junction.
Do you need to use TC extension wire to connect a thermocouple or can you use shielded cable?
You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.
How do you extend an 240v wire circuit 2 feet longer?
If you do not add a junction box it looks like new wire all the way from the old junction box with new wire that is longer. It's a tough place to be.
How to extend a wire if an existing wire is short in the junction box?
You can splice additional wire onto the existing wire using wire connectors. Make sure to match the wire gauge and use proper insulation for safety. Cut the new wire to the desired length, strip the insulation, then twist together and secure with a wire connector. Finally, insulate the connection with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.
How do you wire brake lights for Honda cbr 1000?
how do i wire my brake lights on my Honda 1000
Park avenue dash lights go out and gauges go backward when head lights turned on or brake lights go on?
The solution that I found was with the red wire from the positive battery post to the terminal junction on the fuse box that is located near the battery. The other wire that connects to the same bolt terminal is from the alternator. I cleaned the corrosion from both wire ends and also the base of the fuse box terminal where they bolted together. Everything works well now! Not even a flicker on the dash lights. I would suggest checking all wires and wire ends and cleaning or replacing to clear up any issues with lights or dash gauges flickering or acting irradically.
Can you junction box 8ga wire with 10ga wire?
There is no restriction on different size wires being spliced in the same junction box. If your question involves splicing 8ga. to 10ga, this also is not a problem so long as the circuit allows for 10ga wire.
Does anyone know why my rear tail light indicator came on and followed shortly by my check engine light since the rear tail lights and brake lights still work?
Check the wire which supplies energy for tail lights (the junction between the trunk and the car body). If it's broken it will cause the check engine come on.
