What is wrong if you shut off the electricity at the circuit box and had to shut off a few to find the right circuit to change a fixture and now your pool lights and kitchen ceiling fan do not work?

== == Sometimes when you shut down a circuit breaker it doesn't go all the way back to the on position. Try shutting them off again, making sure they go fully to the off position then flip them on making sure they are fully on. If the toggle that you flip is wobbly or feels loose that is your problem and you can correct it by doing the above. <><><> It is possible that one of the circuit breakers you turned off is bad. I have turned off breakers before and had them fail to reconnect the circuit when it was flipped back on. I had to replace the breakers. <><><> Could be the electrical circuits in the pool area - which is very liable to get water spray and splashes - is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) as well as the main circuit breaker on the supply panel.
If that fixture you mentioned has been replaced incorrectly there could be a wiring error or a ground fault condition which is tripping the GFCI. As working on electricity in a wet area is now illegal in many localities - check the wiring codes or regulations in the town or state where you live - it is safest and best to call in a licensed electrician to fix this problem for you.

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

I am installing a kitchen light fixture in the ceiling. While pulling down the old fixture the green ground wire broke. The new Fixture has a green ground wire. Where do I ground it to now?
The fixture box should have a ground screw on the bottom of the box. Sometimes you have to move other wires out of the way to see it. Just reconnect the fixture ground wire to this screw.
Can a garbage disposal be on the same circuit as four outlets and a ceiling fan?
Yes, if the circuit breaker and the wiring is large enough to carry the sum of the amp draw of all. Without knowing what will be plugged into the outlets, there is no way to be more specific. <<>> It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit for a garbage disposal. It is best not to add any additional loads to kitchen counter receptacles as these are also dedicated circuits.
Should kitchen fluorescent light be earthed?
Yes, it is recommended to earth the kitchen fluorescent light fixture for safety purposes. Earthing, also known as grounding, helps to prevent electrical shocks in the event of a fault or short circuit in the electrical system. It provides a safe path for current to flow into the ground, protecting both individuals and appliances.
Why would using a small kitchen appliance trip the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet that it is plugged into?
If a small kitchen appliance is tripping the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet it is plugged into, it could be due to the difference in electrical load. The bedrooms circuit may already have a higher load from other devices plugged in, whereas the individual outlet might have a separate circuit with a lower load. The small kitchen appliance could be exceeding the capacity of the bedrooms circuit, causing it to trip. It is recommended to redistribute the load or use a different outlet on a different circuit.
How many watts does a light bulb in the kitchen use?
It depends on the lighting fixture and the layout of your kitchen, since most of the work in a kitchen is "task oriented" the wattage should be the same as for reading. To efficiently light a kitchen there should be several sources of light, at least 100 watt or equivalent (from each source), depending on the type of bulbs, would be my recommendation.

You only have one light source in your kitchen and need more can you wire another light fixture to the existing one?
It depends on if the existing light is on it's on circuit, or if it is attached to other electrical devices in the area and are all on the same circuit at the panel box, and if so is there any more room left on the circuit to carry That's really a question for an electrician. But I do know this much, you better not overload the circuit! Make sure the circuit can handle another light source before you do that.
Where can kitchen ceiling lights be bought?
Kitchen ceiling lights can be bought at the local hardware store. They could also be bought at big discount stores. They might also be bought at specialty stores such as a store specializing in lighting or kitchens.
