Urgent elec help please
This is quite urgent. One of my vacation projects was this elec deal and vacation ends at bedtime, so help please and fast.
The project was to put 2 DPST (double pole single throw) timers in. I want all my lights on 2 timers instead of all the differant ones, also this will put all the lights on 1 circuit and frees up several outlets, and bla bla bla. So here's the problem, wiring these timers, excluding the ground there are 5 wire ports A Line 1 Load 2 Line 3 Load 4 with the wiring diagram it is clear that the load is 2 and 4 (plus the ground of course) The line is suppose to be a 3 wire supply, neutral to A, then 1 and 3. The braker is a 2 wire. The question, is there a way around the 3 wire? I am no electrition, but could I put the white wire in A, splice the black and hit 1 and 3 or do I need to switch to a 3 wire supply? Thanks for the help (if it is fast that is

I see, now, you have a double pole, so you can hock 2 circuit, one per Line/Load combo.
If you use both on the same, you double the capacity

No idea how to scan it, and get it here. If it helps it is an Intermatic 103
What do you mean double the capacity?

here how to wire it. You plug the load on 2/4 (hot wire, black) and wire the neutral from the white (A). What I meant for the double capacity is the relay is rated for 40A per pole (2, 4), but if you wire 2/4 together you now have a single pole that is rated for 80A.
