GFCI Breakers are quite a bit more expensive than a GFCI outlet. More often than not a typical residence will need only a handful of GFCI outlets that combined together will be cheaper than a GFCI breaker.
If you need to protect a series of outlets with GFCI protection you can simply connect the rest of the outlets on that same circuit downstream from the first outlet on the line and make that the GFCI. All you have to do is connect all the other outlets to the LOAD side of the GFCI outlet. If a GFCI fault occurs in any of the outlets down stream they will trip that very first GFCI plug you placed and keep you safe.
No, Cutler Hammer 1-pole breakers are designed to accommodate only one conductor per terminal. It is not recommended to install multiple conductors on a single terminal as it can lead to overheating and potential safety hazards. If you need to connect multiple conductors, you should consider using a different type of breaker or a junction box.
A residence is where you live. Here are some sentences.Her residence caught fire last night, but she got out without injury.The president's residence is called the White House.I would like to be able to afford a better residence.
It is better to install a handicapped stair lift.
You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.
DON'T re-pipe a home using PVC. -Use PEX instead, cheaper, better quality and easier to install.
A little formal-drop by is better and substitute place or house.
#8. It is better to error on the next large size. # 8 THHN 90 degree wire is rated at 45 amps. If there is a possibility that the breaker is connected to a 50 amp load the wire will be undersized. A #6 wire is rated at 65 amps. For continuous use, a load factor of 80% has to be applied. 65 x .8 = 52 amps. The only time the conductor can be smaller than the breaker size is on a motor feeder. Then the breaker is sized at 250% of the nameplate full load amps (FLA) rating of the motor. This is to allow the motor's starting current, which is about 300% FLA, to not trip the breaker on start up.
Window shades are fairly easy to install yourself.
Something in between. Something in between. Something in between.
No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.
Vehicle headlights are protected with circuit breakers instead of fuses because, when light bulbs fail, there is an ionizing arc internally that causes high current. You see that at home - when a light bulb fails you see an instant of very bright light.This pulse of high current can blow a fuse. It also can trip a circuit breaker, but the circuit breaker is designed to reclose while, once a fuse is blown, it stays blown. Headlights are a critical safety device. It is better to attempt automatic reclosure following a fault, than it is to leave the headlights off, in case the fault was temporary.
iDeneb is better, iDeneb is also faster to install.
