Does one need to be certified in order to do residential electrical work? I don't think that Hussein doesn't know the difference between an electrician and an electrical engineer. But it's obviously silly to require the same amount of apprenticeship of someone who knows nothing and has no experience, and someone with electrical work experience and an electrical engineering degree. There should be some kind of credit. But anyway, the real question is why would you go through an EE degree program if you want to be an electrician in the end. Maybe not so many people want to go this route, so there isn't a process in place for those who do. |

How can I add lighting in my bedrooms without too many visible wires? Your question doesn't clarify the obvious: is it simply lights that are missing from the ceiling, or are there no receptacles there for lights? You know, there is a difference between "light" and "electrical/structural box that supports the installation of a light". |

Can I use the original drain line after I move my washing machine twenty feet away? Awesome. I'd like to see Google Sketchup do that! |

Can I use brake fluid or steering fluid to stop a fan from squeaking? Transmission fluids like Dexron III are lubricants. Don't be silly! |

Why am I getting 50V at a light when the switch is off? I want to repeat, do not measure the current of a 120V voltage source. It should be safe to measure the current of the receptacle in the 50V situation; the current is limited somewhere, which is why there is a voltage drop from 120. |

Why am I getting 50V at a light when the switch is off? If you measure AC current instead of voltage (only with the switch off, in the 50V situation!!!) how much is it? It may be useful to have an idea of how much current can this light receptacle deliver when it is supposedly off. This might not be a big deal. Suppose the hypothesis is correct: all wiring is good, except that the switch leaks. Since your multimeter has about 10 million ohms impedance, and is dropping 50V, the leaky switch in series with it has about 14 million ohms. Try disconnecting the switch wiring to see whether the problem persists. If not, it confirms the switch. |

Does Pex tubing have any advantages over copper? Yeah, but after some of these glowing answers, thieves will be craving PEX pipe. |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? See my comment above: Use a continuity tester or multimeter to figure out which wire colors go with which prongs of the plug so you know which is hot, neutral and ground. Don't trust the colors: confirm the actual connectivity. |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? Be careful around that line voltage, Kent! |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? Whichever wire connects to the hot prong of the plug would be cut. The plug-side of the cut would be attached to 1, and then the loads-side would attach to the loop terminal, from where it continues to the light. Whichever wire is neutral can go straight from the plug to the light, without being cut. The ground wire can be used to ground any metal enclosures, as recommended by the accompanying literature for the devices (switch and dimmer). Nothing like that is shown in your diagram. The piece of ground wire going out to the light won't do anything. |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? I do not understand that. I don't have your cable to see its colors, and your picture is black and white. Use a continuity tester or multimeter to figure out which wire colors go with which prongs of the plug so you know which is hot, neutral and ground. |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? What does the dashed box represent in your diagram. Is that a ready-made part, or is that just your junction box? |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? Okay, right, so the third wire is ground. |

How can I wire this dimmer switch? Can you post a URL to some kind of data sheet or user manual for this dimming assembly? |
