Your wiring is correct for a fan/light combination.Since you know your fan works with the switch, take the black wire from the switch and connect it to the blue wire from the fan. If the light works...
-
Did you check how each recept in wired? If you look at the front of your recept you will notice that one slot is longer then the other. When you look at the wires on your recept the white wire...
-
Did you run the neutral from the hot tub to the neutral connection screw on the 240 volt breaker? Any neutral feeding from a gfi breaker to what ever your feeding has to be connected to the breaker...

What kind of bulbs are you dimming?
-
Looking at your pictures the panel beside your meter is your main service. These old fuse box panels of this size are usually 60 amp services. Make sure things are off in the house and pull the...
-
Why would you want a 200 amp subpanel in your garage?
-
Unless you have 4 wires (white/neutral, bare/ ground, black/ 1 switch, red/ 2nd switch) coming into you ceiling box you can only turn the light and fan on and off separately by the pull chains you...
-
Test each wire to ground and tell us what you get
-
Your saying black is negative and white is positive which tells me your saying black is neutral (negative) and white is Hot (positive). The black wire should always be the hot connected to the hot...
-
I am assuming you replaced the upstairs switch and the downstairs switch with 3 way switches. If so,somehow you have crossed the wires connected to the switches. You should have 2 wires called...
-
Are these existing switches that you had a problem with or are you installing switches to new new wiring?
-
Something on that circuit is on sending power back through the neutral to the panel and trying to make a solid connection at the neutral bar. The sizzling sound is the load constantly going on and...
-
I think what you are calling the ground bar is actually the neutral bar and is not part of the metal panel. Since this is a sub panel the white will go to neutral bar and you will need to install a...
-
If the panel is the main panel feeding from the meter then the green would go to the ground block and the white would go to the neutral bar with a ground screw or ground strap bonding the neutral bar...
-
What is the reason you want to use a 3 way switch instead of just using a single pole switch?
-
You will need to install a 200 amp disconnect by the meter before you go to the house because of the distance from the meter
-
If you are having that problem some of your other neighbors may be having the same problem due to voltage drop through your feed wires.
-
Is this a new 200 amp service or is it a 200 amp service to your house? What size service are planning to have in your shed?
-
Not sure why someone would tell you not to break the neutral wire in the meter base. Every residential meter that I have wired always has 2 connections in the center of the meter base. One for...
-
What would be the reason you are trying to add a 200amp sub panel from your 200amp main panel?
-
Could be the clothes dryer, a water heater, the air conditioner, stove,baseboard heat,well. Depends what amp the breaker is
-
Tk, I am aware of a 600volt system, I was just trying to get a clarification from the poster as to what he had. To me if someone ask that kind of questions he should have the knowledge of knowing...
-
HOw did you come up with a 600 volt electrical system? Your conductor size would not only depend on the amount of amps but also the distance you will need to run these conductors.
-
According to my calculation a 7 1/2 hp 230volt single phase motor pulls 40 amps and would require a minimum size 2 #8 wires
-
You probably need to have your electrical panel and breakers checked. If you hit trhe breakers or turn them off and on to make them work you might have a bad breaker or burnt connection in panel.
-
2 things you need to have and know before you can power the recepts to a switch. 1. which line to your dimmer is the constant hot line and 2. Do you have a neutral in that box to connect that would...
-
If you just have a single pole switch, it should say on and off on the switch. When you flip the switch you can see what it says on it. If you see the word no on the switch then you have it upside...
-
What do you mean by 3 gang outlet? Did the outlet already have power to it before you decided to put it on a switch?
-
Connect constant power to black, one white to neutral, other white to white from fan,red to black from fan, black/white to blue from fan.
-
People have to remember that remote's for ceiling fans only work when there is constant power to the receivers in the fans. When fans have more then one switch controlling it any time the switch is...
-
If the dryer is electric it would require 240v power, if it is gas it would require 110volt power and the washer would be 110 volt power
-
Why do you have 240volts going to the mirror light? Is the ballast rated for 240volt power?
-
Since it's a church camp you probably have a single phase service. On a single phase service you would only have 120/240 volt power. Each incoming hot line to neutral should be around 120volts and...
-
Need more info. What kind of socket are you wiring ? What was wired at this location before? How many wires are in the junction box?
-
Disconnect the fixtures from the wires in the junction box. Cap each wire separately from the junction box and then flip your switch on and see if the breaker trips. If so you may have a nick in the...
-
It will be on the receiver in the cover up by the junction box.
-
Your patio outlet is protected by the gfi outlet in the basement. It is wired to the load side of the gfi recept and makes the patio recept gfi protected
-
You can have up to 3300 watts on 208v, 20 amp breaker. Lighting is usually considered a continuous load ( 3hrs or longer) and can only us 125% of the breaker amperage. 20 amp divided by 125% = 16...
-
Scott, the picture of the breaker helps a lot. You originally called it a 2 pole breaker. But the picture of the breaker you show is actually called a piggy back breaker. It acutally takes the...
-
If your led light says transformer input 120v and transformer output 12v DC then it probably already has a built in transformer. The led light uses DC (direct current) power (input=12v dc) your...
-
You should have other places where you lost power.Check for lost power at other places and see what you find
-
If you used the bare bulb socket with the two wires and touched them to the wires on the switch then the bulb would not! Light anyway. One of the wires has to be touching the neutral/white wire and...
-
How do you know they are gfi recepts if they do not have a reset / test button on them?
-
Did you try the pull chain on the fan and make sure that the up/down switch on the fan was pushed to the up or down position?
-
Any combination you use will work as long as the setting on the remote matches the setting on the receiver. Example: remote: switch 1 up, 2 up, 3 down, 4 up receiver: switch 1 up,2 up, 3 down,...
-
If you are going to run new wire to a new 100 amp panel in your building then you should be able to change the 200amp breaker at the pole service to a 100 amp breaker. The breaker at the pole is...
-
What did you use to check for power? Need to check to see if you have the right voltage at junction box before it connects to the fan.
-
-
First determine if the black or red wire in the juction box is hot when the switch is on. That wire goes to the black/hot, white goes to white/neutral . Fan side= Black to black for fan, red to...
-
[The big problem is the ground wires should not be connect to the white wire. Apparently whoever ran the wires for 3 way switching used 2 14/2 wires instead of the 14/3 that you mentioned. He must...
