WHY AN AIR CONDITIONER MAY CAUSE A HOT PLUG All of the circuit wiring and terminations should be snug and tight. Loose wiring connections can cause heating, arching and eventually this can cause a burnt and deteriorated connection and circuit failure. Many house fires start as a result of an overloaded electrical circuit which over heated. WHY DOES A CIRCUIT BREAKER PRODUCE POWER IN THE OFF POSITION There are two possibilities that would cause a circuit breaker to appear to have power when it is in the OFF position. The circuit breaker would be defective. This would be very rare, but could be verified two ways: Remove the wire from the circuit breaker. If the wire is still energized then the circuit breaker is OK and is not theproblem.
CORRECT ELECTRICAL WIRE SIZE FOR CEILING FANS AND LIGHTS The #14 gauge wire or 14/2 and 14/3 Type-NM is most commonly used for home lighting circuits because most switches for homes are rated for 15 amps therefore using a larger size would not be compatible with these devices and it would not be as easy to make the connections when using a larger wire size.

I think your site offers the the clearest and best electrical information for homeowners I have ever seen on the net.You have given me confidence to do my own projects which I never had before. THANKYOU!
Paul, from Foxboro, Massachusetts I wish I found this site earlier, it is by far the best electrical related resource I have found on the web. George, from Scranton, Pennsylvania I love this site for an office worker that does not know anything about electric wiring. Bill, from New York City, New York This site is so much better than the 3 books I just bought, I wish Icame here first.
Collin, from Grand Rapids, Michigan Thank you for answering my question. I was able to get this done. This site is perfect. I am glad I found it. Please keep it going. Mike, from Chicago, IllinoisREAD MORE COMMENTS
