Disconnecting Beds???

VTanner · 04-15-2006, 01:13 PM

I have 6 beds. I am removing 2. If I disconnect 2 from the hardwiring and secure the ends with electrical tape, will it disconnect all my beds? Each bed has a dedicated switch in the electrical panel. help please!

No each bed is on its own breaker. but i woulld use wirenuts to cap off the wires not tape

Good advice to use wire nuts and I'd even put some electrical tape around them just to make sure. It's also a good idea to turn off those circuit breakers at the panel.

anyone that does not know what a wire nut is should not wire anything. and yes these beds could have a 60 or 80 amp breaker at 240 volts ,this could easly kill.

Of course I will turn off the electricity at the electrical panel....just wanted to know what to do with the wires.

Ummm, a 240 volt feed consists of two, 120 volt lines in this case. Doubtful that either leg alone could kill. Painful? Yes, if one comes in contact with either leg. A circuit with a 15 amp or a 60 amp breaker wouldn't really make the difference should someone come in contact with it. However, I'll agree that if he/she is not that familar with electricity, they should find someone who is.
