In the United States this is a violation of code.
Of course you can physically do it. But the code does not allow parallel conductors any smaller than 1/0 unless each individual conductor is large enough to handle the entire circuit. Using 14 gauge wire you would have to have a circuit no larger than 15 amps, regardless of how many wires you parallel.
What else can I help you with?
Connecting a 240v to 24v 40va transformer?
To connect a 240V to 24V 40VA transformer, you will typically have two input wires for the 240V side and two output wires for the 24V side. The 240V input wires will connect to your power source, while the 24V output wires will connect to the device or circuit that requires the lower voltage. Make sure to follow proper wiring guidelines and safety precautions to avoid any electrical hazards.
HOW DO YOU connect cut wires?
If you are referring to the connection of simple household electrical wires, and there is some slack in them, this is easy! You will need to skin the covering of the the wire with a knife first. The easiest way to do this is to carefully carve a small circle around the covering and then slide it off to expose the bare wire. Do this on both halves of the wire and then put the bare wire side by side and twist it. Now cover the twisted part with ELECTRICAL tape, making sure that NO bare wire is exposed. Wrap extra electrical tape around the spliced area to strengthen the repair. If there isn't any slack in the wires, find a piece of wire of the same gauge and just splice it into the gap on both ends as above. I hope this answers your question. If the wires are carrying a heavy load, replace the wire instead.... See discuss question.
How do you join stranded and solid wire in electrical wiring applications?
Depending on the size of the wire, you can use wire-nuts for the smaller gauges Do not twist solid and stranded wire together when you use wire-nuts. Just lay the exposed conductor side by side and apply the wire-nut. If you wrap the two wires together, it was found, some connections have pulled apart due to the wire-nut not biting into the solid wire as the stranded wire was wrapped around it. Split bolts for the larger sizes and Allen key wire lugs bolted together for big size wire.
Would you expect two wires side by side to conduct electricity better than a single wire?
They would not conduct electricity better but by running conductors in parallel of equal length from the source to the load will double the ampacity of the circuit. The electrical code specifies that only conductors of 1/0 copper or aluminum or larger can be run in parallel.
How do I wire a 220v ballast when it has only 1 wire labeled 220 when I have 2 wires coming off of my double leg breaker?
Your ballast should show two wires for supply side of ballast. Make sure that neither side of this is grounded to the light and connect the 220 V from your breaker to these two wires and then connect a ground to the chassis of the light from the panel.
When did crescent firearms make the peerless model side by side 20 gauge shotgun?
1901 till1930
What gauge is a Model 325 side by side dbl J Stevens t and a co?
"Gauge" is measured by the inside diameter of the "business end" of the barrel. Make sure it's unloaded first!
Where does the wires from side mirror plug into?
The year, make and model info would help.
Did Iver Johnson make a side by side 12 gauge?
My guide says yes...the "Hercules Grade Double" discontinued in 1946.
How do you repair the fuel gauge in a 1989 ford bronco II xlt?
Your best bet would be to go to oreillys or auto zone and get a small gas gauge and unhook the wires from the gauge in your dash and run it to the side and put it by the pillar... I did the same with my temp gauge and it did fine, although if you want it to light up run a power and ground from the stock gauge too and you'll be good to go.
Where does the rpm gauge plug in under the hood?
I guess my ? to you is what kind of car are you dealing with. most of the time you can fallow the wires from the back side of the fire wall to the the addapter under the hood.
The speedometer stopped working on your 1992 dodge 150 you couldn't find a cable for the gauge just wires is it electric how do you get it working again?
there is a speed sensor on the side of the trans, where the cable used to be. unplug the wires and replace the speed sensor. pretty simple to do.
An electricians side cutting pliers could properly be used to?
If they are real 'side cutters' then they have flat jaws for gripping, and a wire cutter on one side. You don't see these around much any more. People have taken to calling 'diagonal wire cutters' , side cutters now.
Did Richmond Arms make a 12 gauge side by side shotgun with curled hammers?
Yes. I just inherited a 12 gauge double-barrel with twin curled hammers. (I'm actually going to have them appraised.)
How do you repair the firing pins in a 12 gauge Stevens Arms Fox Model side by side?
A gunsmith should be able to make replacements.
Did Baker make a 16 gauge side by side Batavia Leader?
You bet. Available with 26", 28" or 30" barrels. sales@countrygunsmith.net
What year is your Ithaca side by side 12 gauge serial 188650?
The Ithaca side by side 12 gauge serial 188650 was made in 1927.
