I'm planning to install some cabinet that will be covering some pre-install wall receptacle. Is it enough if I cut the cabinet open to allow access to that outlet? Or do I have to bring the outlet...

I'm planning to add a new switch for recess lighting. I've located the hot source for the switch not too far on the same wall where the switch will be. If I cut up the wall where the source is and...

That would be the alternative. But still want to see if there's no problem. You don't imagine that contact Insulation is any different than contacting the air duct. My concern is the plastic...

I recently started a project to install recessed light in my family room. Everything was checked and planned. All holes were cut and align properly... until the last hole.

It appear that I have...

There appear to be 2 version, side wire only vs back + side wire only. Does the side wire works only on solid or can it be used with stranded? I imagine it would be hard to keep the strands...

I'm just simply trying run 4 dedicated 20 AMP circuit for whole house Audio and Video. So it's nothing compare to any industrial grade. While I'm sure I won't be spending $140 for a each Wattgate...

I tried to search around but does not seem to find any place that talk about this. Hope this is the appropriate forum.

Being tech/net savvy, I often do a search (google) on just about anything...

In a 240V circuit, the red and black are the 2 hot wires. When connecting these 2 wires to a receptacle or plug, does it matter which wire go to which of the 2 hot prongs? I have a Hubbel NEMA...

I have a 240V line with max load 20Amp. If I split each of the hot 120V leg sharing the neutral and ground to 2 individual 120V outlet/receptacle, what would the max amp load of each? Does it sill...

I meant rail as in running it against the wall... using the wall the rail with some cable nails to hold it in place.

So if I just staple them separately, even next to each other, it should be...

Are there any gotcha or restriction in laying multiples wires along a rail, 120V 15 amp 14-12AWG? Concern on interference/shield? Can they be tie together or they have to be separate? How far...

In my house, there's a gas fireplace that is housed in a 5'(W)x3'(D) wall enclosure. Poking into the enclosure, there's nothing around it. Just empty spaces.

Now on the opposite side of that...

Your concern/opinion is invaluable. So I want to understand this further.
The transformer(tx) has 2 separate legs of output receptacles... each being 120V. Each leg will have 3 cable (hot,...

Thank you for your input. The reason why I'm leaning toward this approach is preferring the Powervar unit is because it has the conditioning -- this will save me to get additional power conditioner....

I don't have room in the panel. So I have to add a sub-panel... which mean no longer cost effective.

I have 2 30-amp circuit breaker in the main panel that is serving ONE outlet 240-Volts that is intended for charging Electric Car?? So the switch is bridged together as one. The outlet is in the...

Yes, after reading more about this, the key is that the half-size breaker must on on the opposite leg of the panel.

I think I will weight the option of where to just stick with double pole or 2...

I was trying to simplify my wire run. I want to have 2 separate 120V/20am circuit to 2 separate outlets(devices). Hence my thought to use 1 run of 12/3 wire into a 240V/20am double pole... and I...

I have a similar situation. But regarding the separation of circuit, my understanding is that with 20Amp 240 Double Pole breaker, you can break the tie that separate the 2 lever/switch into 2...
