Why are high tension electricity wires called that?
The high tension does not mean mechanical tension, it means high voltage, generally in the hundreds of KV
A sentence for tension?
The tension in the room was so high, I had to get up and leave.
Wires with high resistance change electrical energy into what?
Heat.
What causes the high surface tension and low vapor pressure of water?
Hydrogen bonding causes the inward force that minimizes the surface area of water, and the tendency of water molecules escaping this bond to become vapor is slim and/or slow, thus creating it's low pressure.
Do liquids that have higher tension produce drops that are flatter or more nearly sperical ttan liquids with lowersurface tension?
Surface tension causes molecules to hold to themselves more tightly. Therefore high surface tension liquids, like pure water, will form a taller drop and low surface tension substances, like oil, will spread out and be flat.
What is insulator strings?
Insulator strings are normally used for high tension wires. They work as the main insulators for wires and assure a smooth connection between the conductors and the poles.
When was High Tension Wires created?
High Tension Wires was created in 1989.
Why are high tension electricity wires called that?
The high tension does not mean mechanical tension, it means high voltage, generally in the hundreds of KV
How are electrical insulators made?
The insulators used on high tension transmission lines and on distribution lines are made of either glass or ceramic shaped in a mold. On high tension lines several are typically stacked to create a compound insulator that can avoid arcing at the voltage on the lines.
What does power line mean?
High tension electrical wires
Are the high tension wires going to be removed?
yes but 3 yrs
Why are high tension wires always a silver color?
That is the normal colour of aluminium.
Is there a word to do with electrics starting with h?
A word relating to electricity is high tension wires.
WHY IS BALLS SEEN IN POWER LINES?
They are to make the high tension wires visible from a distance.
What are ceramic insulators used for?
Ceramic and porcelain insulators are used in conjunction with wires that may generate a large amount of heat. Ceramics have a very high heat tolerance, especially higher than plastic and some metals.
Are marshmallows insulators or conductors?
Yes, most certified electricians use candy bars to insulate high voltage power lines. If you look at the wires on high grade medical equipment you will notice they are always insulated with the finest candy bars.
What two features of a high tension cable are designed to ensure electrical safety?
High-voltage cables are usually placed high above the ground. Also, where the cables touch the posts, special insulators are used.
