Q:Who sells just 4 gauge power and ground wire so I can do the big 3 upgrade?

You okorder /... It's also available with black insulation and in 2 gauge. Parts Express also sells appropriate ring terminals.

Q:What does insulated wire do?How does it differ from regular wire used on breadboards?

Insulated wire is .... insulated. That is, it has a layer of plastic or rubber around it so that there is no exposed metal (except at the ends) and thus minimizes the shock hazard, and also helps prevent accidental shorts between wires. Non insulated wire is bare, it has no insulation, it's just a thin copper bar. You can use either on breadboards, so I don't know what you mean by regular wire. .

Q:Quick question with hopefully an easy answer. I had a dimmer switch go bad on a light in a dining room. I bought a new switch and put it in. It was working fine, so I thought, then I noticed that when the dining room light is off, the dimmer works on everything else on the circuit, for example outside lights, hall lights, etc. I can dim all of those things when this switch certainly didn't do that before. Also, if the dining room light is on, all of the other things on the circuit I mentioned before do not work at all. I've obviously incorrectly wired the switch somehow, any thoughts on what I did incorrectly and how to fix?

Your switches are wired so that they can both control the light. That is: you can turn it ON with switch 1 and turn off with switch 2, and vice-versa. These are called two-way switches. They have three wires connected to each switch to enable this clever stuff to happen. Your dimmer switch has two terminals because it is a conventional one-way switch and intended to be used all on its own. It not possible to convert the conventional dimmer switch into a two-way switch and it would be almost impossible for you to convert the circuit to use a 2-way switch in conjunction with the dimmer. You won't be able to buy a two-way dimmer for domestic use. Sorry, but you want to do is impossible without some very specialised knowledge and expensive kit, It's not practical for domestic circumstances. The best thing you can try is to get an adaptor to plug into the light socket which will act as a dimmer. The bulb plugs into the bottom of the adaptor. The pair of two-way switches will operate as normal and the adaptor device will do the dimming for you. These things usually have a remote control to work the dimming circuit. Cost about ?15-?29. Try the better electrical shops such as Maplin or John Lewis. EDIT. They are not three-way switches like TJ suggests. These are different things entirely. You would have three of them and even more wires behind them. The dimmer switch does not operate by reducing voltage like another person suggests. They are not simple variable resistors. Dimmer switches contain special circuits which modify the alternating current waveform. This is one reason why they cannot be used with energy-saver bulbs or transformer-fed low voltage bulbs.

Q:How do you attach light wires to boat trailer frame?

There are a couple of safe ways to attach the wires. First is to run the wires through the inside of the frame rails. this protect the wires from abrasion and from being cut, pinched, or severed easily. The next best is to get a bunch of Electricians Zip Tie mounts. These have a sticky foot so that they can be mounted anywhere. Then you install small ZIP ties into the slots and form a loop. Run the wires through the loops to where you need them to go. Once you have the wires placed and connected, snug up the wires and clip off the extra ZIP tie and work toward the front of the trailer doing the same as the last. Once you reach the tongue of the trailer, be sure to leave plenty of wire for the connector plug to the tow vehicle (usually about 4' beyond the coupler). Then your done.

Q:do i need a wiring harness or can i use wire crimps and do it w.o on a 2000 blazer 4wd if u think i need it plz tell me thanks

unless you known what each wire does get the wiring harness or you very well may destroy your head unit

Q:Replaced the old fan in my bathroom (about 10 years old) with a new fan. Trouble is this. The fan and light each work on a seperate bathroom switch. I have two spots to install the wire on the new bathroom fan/light. One for the fan and one for the ligth. However, the wiring has one white, one black, one red and the ground. Anyone know what the red is? Can I just cap it off? According the bathroom fan wiring it says something about connecting red to blue. I am slighty confused. I think it was originally only wired between the white and black. I am not sure if I have to get some extra wire and connect the black and red to the light and the white to the fan? Extra wire is confusing.

the black is one switch leg and the red is the other switch leg connect black to fan and red to light and ground the green or bare wire it will work just fine and connect white to white neutral

Q:The coiled wire is for making bucktails and i would like to buy it in bulk.

lowes maybe or home depot.

Q:I removed a dishwasher and now the wires are exposed. I turned off the circuit to that outlet. I am planning on waiting a while to replace the dishwasher. I want to turn the circuit back on so I can use the other outlets, but don't want to leave the wires exposed. Any ideas?

N.E.C. code requires the wires to be placed in a box with a blank plate. use wire-nuts or black tape on the wires

Q:From one website I withdraw thru bank wire its 50 dollar fee.What ranges are it for bank wire? Internationally from private person to business.

The bank wire fee varies depending on the individual policies of the bank. Some banks charge for wiring, or receiving. Others charge of international wires. Still others may waive wire fees if you have a special relationship with the bank, such as a Premier Customer, or a senior citizen, etc. Check with your bank.

Q:What's the best kind of wire to use that can stand being kilned?

that really depends what you want to do and how high you are going to fire. Generally nichrome 80/20 wire should be OK until cone 9. Then there is Kanthal which will withstand even higher temperatures but is more expensive than nichrome. You could get either probably in electronics supply houses. If you do lowfire, maybe up to cone 06 or lower steel will probably be OK. The surface of the steel will oxidise and so get clearly thinner, keep that in mind. Generally your wire and the clay should not be in direct contact because they have different thermal expansion coefficients. Depends how rigid your wire is if it will lead to major damage to your piece. But if you wrap your wire with paper before you put clay around it it is probably OK as long as you don't enclose the entire thing with clay into a hollow space. But it also depends on what exactly you are trying to do, e.g. what kind of clay you are using. Mostly people use wire with clay for making beads. If that's what you are doing you can also look up bead making techniques.
