chandelier Installation?
I have an older home built in the 50's. My new chandelier has a metal cord that is the ground which connects to a screw. My house has thick copper ground sticking out which I think is the ground. Should I connect the house ground to the chandelier ground under the same screw? There is a burnt mark next to the screw and now I am worried. Light will not turn on. Maybe I burnt up the fixture???? Please help!
the best thing to do is let a licenced professional look at it.but if you insist on do it yourself,heres your anser. In the 1950's the type of wiring was called nob and tubing.Which didnt have a ground.if you can still see the color on the wire, white for nutrel and black for hot (in most cases).If your wire has a jacket around a three wire configuration,with one being a bare,the bare is your ground. BUT IF YOUR HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN THE LAST 15 TO 20 YEARS,YOU REALY NEED TO GET IT LOOKED AT call around generaly a good electrician will not charge you if he thinks he has a rewire. if he says you need it get him to show you why.(i.e. brittel insulation on wire in attic. splices in wire not in boxs and the like)its mostly commen since. good luck.
