If the exposed wire grounds out and a great amount of heat is produced then yes a fire could start under this condition. Remember overhead transmission wires are exposed wires but are well insulated from ground so as not to have the above scenario happen.

Which electrical wire to cut black or white?
Black is hot and white is neutral. If you are switching something you switch the black, so that is what you would cut.
Can a cut Grounding wire will starts a fire?
No. Get is connected as soon as possible for safety's sake.
What fire extinguisher do you use on a electrical fire?
Water is good as it will cut off oxygen and cool the heat source. Powder and foam will smother to cut off oxygen. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will cut off oxygen but blast of gas may spread ther fire by blowing light material such as paper causing it to set fire to other things. Don't use water on oil, or a chip pan fire.
How can you cut an energized conductor?
With an insulated handle wire cutter.
How EDM wire cut machine works?
in wire cut, a wire is passed through a metal or is placed next to it. the wire works as one of the electrodes while the work piece would be the other one; using andielectric liquid to isolate the wire from the work piece. the electricity is conducted in the wire. as the wire gets closer to the work piece the electricity (electrons) tend to jump from the wire to the work piece in order to create a complete electrical circuit that's when a spark is formed. the dielectric helps us by isolating the wire from the work piece as long as it can, so we can have enough difference in potential between two electrodes before the spark is formed, it works like capacitor stopping the current from going through it until it collapses at a potential and enough current passes through at once. A collateral effect of this passage of current is that material is removed from both the electrodes.
Why the fuse wire reduces the danger of fire in a building?
A short in an electrical circuit could cause the cables to become red hot, causing an electrical fire. Before the cables begin to heat up, the thinner fuse wire will blow, or a breaker will trip, and the circuit will become open before any damage occurs.
Can a cut cable wire cause a fire?
If by 'cable wire' you mean Coax cable for the TV, or Internet, then the answer is no. The power/voltages in the cable are way to low to produce a spark which is usually what triggers flame. If by 'cable wire' you mean a cable carrying an electrical service such as 120V or 240V, then, if the cable is damaged by an accidental or deliberate cut which causes a short circuit from a hot phase wire or wires to other wires in the cable - such as to other hot phase wires in a 3-phase circuit, a neutral or a ground wire - then the resulting heavy current could result in the cable becoming very hot and could cause it to catch on fire unless there was some overcurrent protection device to prevent that from happening. That is why fuses and/or circuit breakers should always be included in any electrical service wiring to cut off the supply of current before a fire can be caused by such damage.
What would cause starter relay fuse to blow when trying to start 1997 expedition?
An Electrical Short Cut somewhere would cause it to blow the fuse. A pinch wire would ground the system, and cause a shortcut.
Which electrical wire to cut black or white?
Black is hot and white is neutral. If you are switching something you switch the black, so that is what you would cut.

No. Get is connected as soon as possible for safety's sake.
Is it safe for me to cut a cable wire?
Not enough information. If you mean an electrical cable, no it is not safe unless you have isolated it and verified that it is no longer "live"!

When was Cut the Wire created?
Cut the Wire was created in 1987.
Should you cut the red wire or the blue wire?
You Should Cut The Yellow Wire! : D
Can you cut yelow wire 2001 Malibu?
you can cut any wire you choose to cut. i, however, would not cut it.
When did Katniss shoot an arrow at the force field in Catching Fire?
right before the hovercraft came and lrt them escape, however this wasn't the cause of the force field. beete cut the wire and blew it up with the lightning tree carrying an electric current through the wire useing the electricity to get rid of the forcefeild
Is electrical tape good for a cut?
No. It may serve as a very temporary measure but it is not sterile and may cause infection.
