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:Do wired controls work better than wireless? My hubby uses wireless and I wonder if wired would transmit quicker?

Nope. Wireless work great and there is no lag.

Q:want to get ready to solderis the fuzzy stuff the wire? or the shiny (positive green and negative red color) the wire? sorry i know its a noob questionlet me knowthanks

wire is metal and metal is orange or silver . The fussy stuff is string

Q:instead of using the wire its self could you put a terminal at the end of your audio wire and connect it to the amp, for your car audio. Because I just ordered 1/0 awg wire, but I don't think the wire will fit on the amp, so could I put a Y terminal at the end of my 1/0 gauge wire and connect that to my amp?

Depends okorder ... Another option would be a distribution block that allows a 0-gauge input and 4-gauge outputs. You could use this to reduce the wire size before the amplifier connection.

Q:How can u do a wire transfer? Is there anything extra that is needed to do this? Are you able to make a wire transfer from your home computer?

Most people go to the bank and arrange for wire transfer from there. You will need to have the funds to wire, the account where you want it transfered to. it is possible, but it would have to be prearranged.

Q:Like I hear people say If you have good Wires you will have good bass. What is good wiring. What is the best wires I can get. Help me I'm new at this. Post some links or Something. 5 stars for best. Thanks!

high strand count for the wiring to the subs since current actually travels on the outside of the strands of wire. and ya have to get good rca's so as to avoid buzzing and humming and all sorts of noise in a system. mostly humming

Q:what size of wire do i need and is the new fuse box/trip box kept in garage.or where can i get wiring diagrams from

Lots of wrong answers. Don't take electrical advise from untrained and unqualified people. Is the wire overhead or direct buried? Either way, there are underground rated, direct burial, splice kits made that will splice the wires without the need for a box. They are a set screw terminal aluminum tube with 2 pieces of heat shrink tubing. Buy them at a electrical supply warehouse. One for each conductor. Tell them what you are doing so you get the correct ones. They must be rated for wet locations. So must your wire. I assume you are using a XHHW type wire for direct burial or a THWN for inside buried conduit? Your number 3 copper wire is large enough for 100 amps with no problem at 100 feet. Article 310.16 for the rest of you. You will need to drive a ground rod at the garage and connect it with a number 6 copper wire, and bond the neutral and ground together in the panel the same as in your house. You will need to do this before January 1st when the new national electric code takes effect. In the 2008 code you will need to run a 4 wire feeder to the sub panel in the garage. Your installation will comply with the 2005 National Code. State and local codes may vary. If you need more help, email me.

Q:2 wires and ground to oven with 3 wires and ground

You need to replace the cable with a three wire plus ground.

Q:Which internet is faster and quality?

wired is more secure. for the net, speed is not much different but for transferring files or playing games over LAN, 1GB cards and crossover cable is far superior. I use a ZOOM adsl which is both wired and wireless, purchased from PC world. I bought an asus wireless card for the PC in my bedroom but would not recommend the asus, tricky as hell to get working properly. you may need an areal with some level of gain depending on how far the wireless PC is from the router.

Q:plzzz let me knw tis !! GRADE 10 PHYSICS- importance of live wires neutral wires !!!!!!!!!!

In a typical power generation system for a town, city, state or country, the circuit consists of a generator, wires from the generator ('active' or 'live' wires), switches, loads (heaters, lights, motors, etc.), neutral wires and an earth return. Everything on the generator side of the load is live. Everything after the load is 'neutral'. The importance is that with the switch off, the 'neutral'carries no current, while the ?ctiveor 'live wires carry current at all times.
