I’m leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn’t understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I’m learning via a handful of books
Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats’ automatic litter box.
I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a “dumb” doorbell but the chime won’t work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work…
Which books do you use? I’ve been wanting to get better at understanding home electricity but I’ll admit electricity scares me a bit
Black and Decker makes a series of books that are pretty good, I’ve been enjoying them so far. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring
I’ve also found various books from thrift shops to supplement as well as various resources from the internet
Is that book north America focused? In in the Netherlands so i expect things will be a bit different
The bidet outlet just needs to be on the load side of the GFI.
That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson
On the back of the GFI the ports will be labeled, line or load. Line goes to the breaker box, load goes to all outlets you need protected.
I don’t have a house. Wife and I lived in a car for almost 4 months, now we have an RV.
Currently sorting rocks by size to make gravel for foundations. Need to setup some foundation blocks for shipping containers, foundation for a huge water tank, then the foundation for our house will be gravel in large sandbags (Hyperadobe) and hopefully we can make enough gravel for the driveway too.
