Q:home, thermostat, wiring

green wire is 24 volts from the t-stat to the indoor fan relay, i promise! unless it's a trane. trane has their own wiring codes and i don't remember trane wiring at this time. i can look it up but don't want to. green goes to the indoor fan relay, for real. the fan relay energizes 110 volts and turns the indoor fan on. be careful jacking around with that stuff. remember, you have low voltage from the transformer and t-stat and high voltage everywhere else. the outside stuff is 220 volts. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Q:All household socket have two wires.Plese do not mention grounding, the ground would act as de-facto second wire

You don't need any wires at all. It can be done easily with electromagnetic waves. But since it can be done even more easily with two wires, we prefer the two wire method. One wire would be as good as no wires, so that's just a waste. :-)

Q:the plug only has room for black,red,ground wire.. what do i do with the white wire

There okorder /... is a 3 wire plug used for 208 or 240v (there is no 220v in the US). It has two hots (gold screws) and a ground (green screw). A typical 10-3 cord has a black white and green white, connect the green wire to the green screw and the black and white wires to the gold screws. An L6-30 is not compatible with devices that have a 240/120v configuration that use both 240v and for 120v and need a neutral connection, for this you would need to use a 4 wire L14-30. Also be aware there are some special rules about ranges and clothes dryers, please update you question if that's what you are dealing with.

Q:When I am wiring my sub to my amp, what gauge of wire should I use? The sub is 750 rms and the amp is 700 rms. And how do I wire a 2 ohm sub DVC to a 2 ohm stable amp?

the present passing for the duration of the wires will reason the wires to warmth up if no longer sufficient guage. think of of the hundreds of thousands of little electrons pushing and shoving returned and forth, all this action motives friction on a molecular point and of direction all of us understand friction equals warmth. In a bigger guage twine there is extra area for the comparable form of electons. it truly is truly that straightforward. Use as heavy a guage speaker twine which you would be able to. you will have no sign loss and little warmth.

Q:Me and a buddy took the 305 out of the car. I have a 350 to take its place, but was wondering what are the only wires i need to have a clean engine bay. the old engine has a million wires hooking up to everything. Some muscle cars only have spark plug wires, the starter wire and battery cable. What must i do to get mine like that? i dont care about emissions. what must i change or add to the new engine?

I have an '84 Monte SS and wanted the same thing. Here's what I have: the 2 wires that come from the harness and go to the starter (1 Positive, 1 S terminal), oil gauge wire, temp gauge wire, the alternator wires, the wire going to the distributor cap, and the tach gauge wire going to the distributor cap. That's pretty much it, as well as your battery cables, and spark plug wires. You really don't need to do or add anything as long as it runs and everything works that needs to work, it'll be fine. I'm going by memory, so if I forgot something I apologize, but that's the best of my recollection right now. If you have anymore questions you can email me.

Q:I have an old house with old wiring. I have no colors to go by.

By electrical code (not sure how old this code is, but I think very old) if there are 2 wires for a circuit the one with any type of marking is the neutral or negative wire. For instance, it is common for a cord to have 1 smooth wire and 1 ribbed wire (there are raised grooves that go the length of the wire), the ribbed wire is the neutral. Or in outlets the larger plug hole is the neutral. Testing the continuity to ground is the best method, but make sure to turn the breaker off before you test it, as you might break your meter if you test continuity of a hot circuit.

Q:My home is wired for the thermostats with two wires (red and white). I have acquired a new thermostat that requires a Red, White, and Common wire. Using the white wire in that position will power the unit up but it won't trigger the heat. Is there something that can be put in line that will allow this thermostat to work without rewiring the house?

2 wire is milivoltjust scrap off varnish off wires and try again dc voltage produces varnish on wires prevents heater from firing

Q:where also is fourth wire hooked in?

If it is coming from the box at the street into your circuit breaker panel, I'll take a guess. Earth ground (Usually connected to a copper water pipe or a metal pole driven deep into the ground) Neutral (0V) +120 V (Most household circuits) +220 V (Dryers, stoves, possibly air conditioners and other devices needing lots of power. These have special plugs.) Unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure you know what you are doing (and it sounds from your question like you may not be) DO NOT mess around with mains wiring in your house and especially wiring coming into your house, since that isn't even on a surge protector to keep you even remotely safe. If you mess around with this stuff without knowing what you are doing, you could wind up DEAD or in the hospital VERY easily. I can't stress enough how dangerous electricity in large quantities is.

Q:Is high quality CAT-5 ok to wire surround sound speakers to the receiver?

No. CAT 5 is made for data transfer and not for something where interferences are likely to cause trouble. I would recommend using speaker wire, and only speaker wire. Speaker wire contains more stands or finer wire. This reduces the rick of line static and feedback to generate. Also, the insulation on speaker wire is much better than that of CAT 5.

Q:So I know that the neutral wire is the 'return wire'. But why does my textbook say that it has the potential to have the same amount of electricity as the live wire (if the wiring is faulty)? But essentially, if the wiring is not faulty it is technically safe to touch it, it has 0 volts.Could someone explain this to me?

a million. whilst that is working regularly, Voltage could be present for the time of stay and independent twine. cutting-edge could flow from stay to independent twine. 2. whilst there's a fault, The voltage would be present interior the stay twine and since the circuit isn't closed, No cutting-edge could be flowing. 3. No that is no longer ultimate. yet at times, the earth twine could be transmitted to the sub station the place in its joined with the independent. 4. green 5. The Casing could be linked to earth. for this reason the independent is shorted with earth.
