I installed a motion sensor/light in my carport.if switch is on it trips the circuit braker, if off its OK.WHY - screw in light sensor
I caught a slight movement felt in my garage. I connected the black wire to black wire, white wire to white wire and ground wire to the grounding screw. I turned on the switch again - all OK. When I switch (wall) triggers the switch. This works well when the switch is "OFF", but through turning. On the wall is a double change (0NE garage light, a) for the ceiling fan. Who knows why it has worked well?

Screw In Light Sensor I Installed A Motion Sensor/light In My Carport.if Switch Is On It Trips The Circuit Braker, If Off Its OK.WHY

You have a switch and connected incorrectly.
In the control panel, you will find that the amendment of a black and white wire in it have. The white wire should band have identified comply with the NEC. In reality, it is necessary to control panel, open to change something. I only say that you know what is right and should be identified by the NEC.
This type of activation of the loop is completely legal and recognized by the National Electrical Code requirement that the driver again identified as white. This is only legal to do with wires and NM (ROMEX) and power will only son in black and white in the case of 12-2. If there is a wiring method, such as the installation does not comply with the code.
A backup in the light box, you will find the switch.
Take the white wire thats cable and connect the switch directly on the white thread of your motion sensor.
Take the black wire of the switch and connect directly to cable WHITEfor the change. The white wire must be identified with tape or a marker to comply with the NEC. Tuck this context, black / white again back in the box identified.
Now take the black wire of the switch and connect directly to the black wire from light.
It is a very common mistake when people involved in the switch loops.
To understand the effect that you see is what the above statements are electric. CC to use only general examples for simplicity.
Energy flow from the switch on the light box on the black wire. Which is then connected with re-identify the white wire and power supplied to the switch.
However, the black cable channel power to the light switch and the circuit completed fed through the white wire from the breaker panel.
What he did when he connected with the colors, the colors are as follows.
When the switch from the power flows in the light switch, ignition, electric currents, which is also eliminated.
The Power of WHite cable through the light.
However, if the switch is the power directly from the command Cable black to white and back to the breaker box and practically ignored the light. There is very little resistance in this circuit too much current to flow and activate the switch.
What is actually being created, a little dead. In essence, if the switch connecting its like black and white, the son directly. Not good.
Since you are a fan even in combination, you should get the same as above, if this circuit is connected on the same route, and a breaker. Re-identifying as white fan switch must be connected to the black switch. Then the black switch on the fan in order to connect the fan to turn black.
I hope this explanation helps and can begin soon. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
Sensor could be a bad decision. The quality control is not what it was so often defective products, and headaches. Try a normal light in touch and make sure it works and if you do not receive a refund, in the light of the movement.
Check the wiring, some electricians "throw the whole thing the color of the window. Really son crossed wires somewhere. If you have any doubts, call a qualified electrician. - IC
Bigfoot answer to this - you say that the motion sensor works off the light, it means that goes to the light? - Okay. But the switch and the switch Tripp is a "hot" to be, the motion sensor and when to send the switch to another "hot" lamp. Most of the time a motion has 4 son Bare copper = mass = NETural white, black = hot, red = other. Red is ligkt for use with individuals who have a sensor that is deal with the Senseo, the red light that the other will offer to do without sensor, together. If you have connected both the red and black bear to separate black and red only.
in my mind, was what he did - sounds like you say, still have a hot and understood that some of the ground color output - a son and an electrical grounding can be removed
