Best Adding A New Circuit

In this video i will show you how to properly add a new circuit with a current of up to 10a to your car s electrical system using an add a fuse adapter.

Adding a new circuit. A pigtail back to the switch the black wire running to the new light and the black wire running to the existing light. In this example an additional 120volt circuit would be required. The switch will now control both.

Punch out a blank on your breaker cover panel and install it. If you follow our safety steps in order and to the letter you ll be fine. But if at any point you re unsure how to proceed or feel uncomfortable with the project call an electrician.

Running a new electric circuit is a pretty simple task that can be accomplished with a little bit of effort care and the right tools. Opening the main circuit breaker panel box and adding a circuit is actually pretty easy. You only have to connect three wires to add a circuit and each circuit wire is color coded.

This wiring illustrates how to add a new light fixture from an existing switch instead of from the light fixture. The black wire running to the light is taken from the switch and spliced with. You should only use this method to add circuits that use less than 10 ampere of current because it partly uses your car s original wiring.

For circuits that operate at higher current s such as audio. You can also watch it as a video on my new youtube channel. Determining the circuit size the size of the electrical circuit the will depend on the existing overloaded condition.

The same principals apply to all 110v circuits and slightly modified instructions can be used for 240v circuits. In this circuit the neutral and ground wires running to the new light are spliced in the switch box with the wires running to the existing light. The wire type or electrical cable type is determined by the type of structure and if the wiring will be enclosed inside a wall or if the wiring will be protected by electrical conduit.
