"Put back something(ex:the electricity) on(ok to use on?)?"

Teachers!

Can I say something like "put back something on" especially for electric devices?

Plus, is there certain regulatory grammar rules for using propositions like "on," "up,""down," after a verb?

Thank You!

-- I would like a sample sentence, but I don't think so: it should normally read 'put something back [on (something else)]' . -- No-- just that they usually represent a movement in that direction, either physically or figuratively.
