Describe the purpose of the red wire.
This wire is the second conductor in the circuit, usually used when there is a three-way switch.
200
Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to prevent the circuit from being overloaded. TRUE or FALSE?
True
200
I make sure wires are secured in their junction boxes.
what is box clamp.
200
When talking about a three way switch what is most important to remember about the common screw when wiring.
The source coming in (black wire) is always attached to the common screw.
200
Define watt....
The measure of energy available for use from amps and volts
200
How many wires can attach to one screw?
ONE-only ONE
300
Name the two hazards associated with electric current.
1. Shock 2. Fire
300
I am crucial to making sure wires are the proper length inside the junction box. This allows me east when moving wires around inside the box.
What is Cable ripper.
300
Clearly define using a lot of detail the wires included with 14-2
14 is the gauge of wire. 2 meaning # of live wires. 1 black/ hot 1 white / neutral 1 bare/ground
300
Find the voltage, if A=120 and W is 400.
volts=3.3
300
What direction do wires need to be attached to the terminal....why?
Wires need to be attached to the terminal in a clockwise fashion. As you tighten the screw the wire will work its way tight around the terminal providing the most direct connection and best safety practices.
