The ground wire in a two or three conductor #12 cable is a #14 bare ground wire.


How do you wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil?

To wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil, you need to connect the 110 volt power supply to one terminal of the coil and the neutral wire to the other terminal of the coil. Ensure that the contactor is rated for use with a 110 volt control circuit. Additionally, verify the wiring diagram provided with the contactor for proper connection details.


What size wire and breaker is needed via 20ft length for a Westonhouse 1500w floodlight?

If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.


Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?

No !


What gauge wire do have to have for 110 volt 30 amp service 200 ft away?

For a 200 ft distance, you should use at least a 8 gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe operation for a 30 amp, 110 volt circuit. It is important to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific wire size needed based on the load and local electrical code requirements.


Will a 117 volt led bulb work in a 110 volt circuit?

It should work okay.


Will a 240 volt lamp work in a 110 volt supply if the supply fuse size were increased?

No. The 240V lamp will pop the circuit or fuse because the draw is higher than the supply.


Can 110 volt apliance work on 220 volts circuit?

NO - that is dangerous.


Can you use 60 amp breaker for 110 V at 110 ft and what wire is best?

A breaker is based on wire size, as the breaker protects the wire and not the load. This is a voltage drop question. A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 110 feet on a 110 volt system.


Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?

No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.


What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?

The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.


Which wire is the neutral wire in a 110 volt system?

In a 110V system, the neutral wire is typically colored white in the United States. It is the wire that completes the circuit and carries current back to the power source. It is important to always follow safety guidelines when working with electrical systems.
