Q:My light switch has three sets of three wires (like conduit).. there are three black wires, three white wires, and three bare wires.. and I don't know how to hook up another light switch because it's near impossible to get three wires around a screw terminal. My boyfriend (works in maintenance) hooked a light switch up (one that you put the wires in a hole and then screw) except for the bare wire where two wires are under the screw terminal and the third is wrapped around the other two bare wires. The lights will stay on but when you turn the switch off, it kicks the breaker.. can anyone tell me why it's doing that? Thank you.

What it sounds like is happening there is that the switch box is the main feed for the room. You have a set from the panel, a set for the light fixture, and a set that are downstream, such as for an outlet. You need to determine which set is which. Then cut a piece of black wire and a bare copper about 8 long. This is how the connections are made: TURN THE POWER OFF. Then connect all of the whites together with a wire nut. Connect the new bare copper to the other grounds with another wire nut. Then connect the black from the panel, the downstream black, and the short black together with another wire nut. The black to the light fixture and the black pigtail (short wire) connect to the 2 brass terminals on the switch. The bare copper pigtail goes on the green screw on the switch. Reinstall the switch in the box, turn the power on, and check your work. If the light stays on at all times, but the outlets only work when the switch is on, those 2 wires are reversed. Turn the power off, switch the wires, and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

Q:It every download on lime-wire basic free and is the down load of lime-wire basic free is lime wire really illegal thanks

lime wire is completely free. and yes, it is illegal. but i've heard that you could only get in trouble if you share the files you download. so make sure you set it up that you can't share files. i'm not positive that's true, but i do it anyways. if you're using lime wire though, you have to be careful you don't download viruses, there's alot of them.

Q:I connected my wires in the morning and something aint righti put two wires incorrect but i dont see it... can some oneput them together for me cuz i really cant see where i did wrongmaybe some one else will find it ...

are you connecting this to an after market deck/stereo? well if so, it would have been a MILLION times easier to not cut the wires and just get a wiring harness, no need to cut any wires or anything... all you need to do is connect the wiring harness to the car stock stereo harness then plug it into the back of the deck so put your wires back to how they were, and get a wiring harness lol, only 5-20bucks i got mine for 5 off the internet.. my brother got his for 15 from wal-mart and they have them at best buy for around 20

Q:hi to all, pls try to help me,, to get the kawasaki zxr250 cdi color wiring diagram!?i hope that you help me..i really hope that i use my kawasaki big bike,.....thank you !!!!!rose,,

Wiring diagrams are always black and white. Do you need a wiring diagram for your bike, or do you just want one in color?

Q:A vertical straight wire carrying an upward 14.2 A current exerts an attractive force per unit length of 7.80E-4 N/m on a second parallel wire 7.60 cm away. What is the magnitude of the current that flows in the second wire?

For a current I1 = 14.2 Amperes and radial separation between wires r =0.076 m, the magnetic field at wire 2 is B =0.000037368 Tesla If current I2 = 21 Amperes then the force per meter is F/ΔL =0.000784 Newtons/m hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hba... Goodbye

Q:I have a 2 wire system in my garage and need to update to a 3 wire grounded plug. Can I leave my existed 2 conductor and just run a single 12 gauge insulated ground in the same conduit back to the panel/grounding rod. Or do I need to pull out the 2 wore replace with 3 wire ?

You can just add a wire. If you have metal conduit and metal j-boxes all you have to do is connect a ground to the box. NEC 250.118 Types of Equipment Grounding Conductors. The equipment grounding conductor run with or enclosing the circuit conductors shall be one or more or a combination of the following: (1) A copper, aluminum, or copper-clad aluminum conductor. This conductor shall be solid or stranded; insulated, covered, or bare; and in the form of a wire or a busbar of any shape. (2) Rigid metal conduit. (3) Intermediate metal conduit. (4) Electrical metallic tubing... But if not in metal conduit then you can connect it to the first 5 feet of metal water pipe, the ground rod, the wire leading to the ground rod/metal water pipe, or the ground bar in the source electrical panel. NEC 250.130(C) Nongrounding Receptacle Replacement or Branch Circuit Extensions. The equipment grounding conductor of a grounding-type receptacle or a branch-circuit extension shall be permitted to be connected to any of the following: (1) Any accessible point on the grounding electrode system as described in 250.50 (2) Any accessible point on the grounding electrode conductor (3) The equipment grounding terminal bar within the enclosure where the branch circuit for the receptacle or branch circuit originates (4) For grounded systems, the grounded service conductor within the service equipment enclosure

Q:do i need a different wire for in-wall speakers or a regular speaker wire

You will best be served by wire that is properly shielded. There is specific wire designed to be installed in-wall, and that is what I would suggest for you to use for that application. . .

Q:When you buy new earbuds/headphones there are usually two wires connected by a thin piece of rubber.Is it ok to split the two wires that are joined together when you buy them? Im wondering because i need the extra length.

there's a rubber cloth that shrinks once you warmth it up. yet you've got the means to slide the cord via a tube of the stuff. Then use a cigarette lighter to warmth it up. Ask in radio shack. or you may desire to easily wrap the cord in electric tape and use a cigarette lighter to gently soften the tape, it works, no longer nicely, even although that is going to never pull back up.
