Connecticut Electric & Switch Thqp115 Circuit Breaker Questions & Answers
I have a 55 year
after 55 years service I think it would be wise to renew the whole box with a more up to date safer and more sensitive breaker unit. the more modern breakers are more likely to trip quicker if they notice an issue reducing the chances of shock or electrical fire. speak to a qualified electrican about this as the main breaker will have to be switched off before working on the breaker units. they should be able to advise if your present breakers are still safe to use.
Pushomatic Double Pole, 20amp problem. When I
Most two-pole breakers have a small plastic bar that connects the two switches allowing them to be synchronized and used as a single breaker. However there are some two pole breakers that are intended to be used as two separate breaker and lack the need for the bar that synchronizes them, this is because they are not being used to power a single circuit or item, but separate circuits, or items. so no the breaker is not bad, and yes can be used to power single circuits or items.
How would I connect 3 different wires to a plus to receive power one wire is from 3 outlets one is from a spotlight one is from a shed ?
Assuming Chuck, you are speaking of three separate circuits and you want to connect them into a power panel. If that is correct, I also assume you have along with the three hot conductors (wires), three neutral (white) wires. If these assumptions are correct, install three breaker into your panel and attach each circuit into these new breakers. A word of caution, Ensure the white conductors are connected to the neutral bar where all other white wires are connected. Saying all of this, I now suggest you either get an electrician to do the job or at least get someone with more knowledge than you have to help. Improperly installed electrical service is hazardous not only to the structure but it is DEADLY. Good luck.
I need more power in my kitchen, what would it involve?
Most probably if you ask here. The main electrical grid should have 3 incoming cables you can use as a power source. So usually you have 3 banks with fuses in there. You need to change part of the kitchen with something you do not use so often.
If there is one outgoing wire for the whole kitchen you need to put a new one in- this is some work.
Can 40mp dryer and 40 mp range be computable
Hi - I'm an electrician an would like to help you with your question.But - Umm.. huh?By "40mp" Do you mean 40 amp? They are both "computable" but I suspect that you meant compatible. If so, yes, 40 amps is 40 amps regardless of what it supplys, as long as the wire is the right type and size. I haven't seen a 40 amp residential dryer though. Residential electric ranges and electric dryers are both 240 volts - but the dryer is usually a 30 amp circuit (#10 copper) and protected by a double pole 30 amp circuit breaker. The range is a 40 amp circuit (#6 aluminum) and protected by a double pole 40 amp circuit breaker.If this doesn't answer your question, please explain in greater detail.
