FAQ

Why does a thin wire melt and a thick wire glow when put up to the terminals? Explain in terms of resistance and current. Thanks=]

Sorry but that's not exactly the case. The thin wire actually burned thru because you exceeded it's ability to carry the current of the circuit that you connected to it. The thick wire glowed for the same reason. You probably have a short circuit in the device that the terminals are on. It would be impossible to address the resistance and current with the limited information that you have given us.

I have 12/3 wire running from the breaker box on a 20 amp breaker that powers a bathroom (2 lights and 2 receptacles). I want to splice into this and run 14/2 wire into the living room to run 6 recessed lights. Is this OK to do?

No you should either use a 20 amp breaker and 20 amp recepticles or if you use a 15 amp breaker then use 14/2 or 14/3 wire. Too heavy of wire creates a fire risk. If your new home was wired to code, this seems quite odd.

I recently purchased a used car already wired for an amplifier, however, when I looked at the wiring i found that the installer ran 8 gauge wire and then crimped it to a 12 gauge wire (with fuse) that connected to the battery is this bad? should i change it to 8 gauge? Or does it not matter?

As long as the middle of the wire is not grounding at all. You will be fine. You can run any size gauge wire as long as it connects at each end real good and gets a good connection. The best way instead of crimping anything at all is to get a 100amp fuse where one wire end goes into a slot on each side and a screw holds it tightly. You can run the eight gauge to one side and run the twelve out of the other and thats the best way and safest way to do it so you have no crimped hack jobs on it. -Shawn

hey im wiring up a headunit to my L300 van. The factory headunit wasnt there and im having trouble connecting which colour wires to the factory colour wires. if anyone knows which coulours go to what would be much appreciatedcheers.

Hi, okorder /

I just bought a remote starter/keyless entry/alarm system, i'm looking to install it myself... I'm just wondering what gauge wire that most cars use.I'm assuming power wires are lower gauge then others, Could I use 16 gauge for power lines or would i need something larger?Thanks in advanced.

i use 16 gauge wire for my car alarm and stereo and ive had no problems so far.

Why is thin strand wire better for powering car audio?

Thin strand wire is more flexible and so stands up to the flexing and vibration in a car application better. May not be an issue in the short term, but over time the thinner strand should hold up better

My starter I replaced has 3 wires, two red and one black. Where does each wire go? Pictures would be very helpful if possible

based upon the gauge you have... i do no longer think of you're placing it to a mustang yet i detect genuine low-priced air stress gauges are very deceptive.. your 5.0 may well be 50 psi (if it relatively is prolonged each and every of how out) and is a great way overinflated. the properly suited tire stress is the two interior the glove container on a plaque interior the door or is a sitcker on the rear door section.. yet stress could desire to be form of 32 psi (220 kps for our metric friends) on your motor vehicle in case you haven't any longer pushed it for greater effective than 8 hours...

I recently re-wired my house with 4 wire telephone wire. They all meet in the attic. How do I wire them together and is there some kind of junction plate I can use? Additionally, I did also wire my house with Cat6 wire, but would like to keep it strictly for Internet.
