A 6 mm earth wire can be used to replace a 2.5 mm earth wire, but if there is an existing 6 mm earth wire it must be 6 mm all the way to the earth, and not replaced by a smaller wire between it and the earth connection.

What is LPT1?

LPT1 is a port found on older computers and some newer ones that you can connect a printer to. This port is a female connector with 25 pinholes.


What does the voltage rating on a battery mean?

Voltage rating usually refers to the insulation of the wire but could be terminology for electrical equipment also. In North America standard voltage ratings of wire are 300, 600, 1000, 5Kv, 15 Kv and 25 Kv.


How can you get 25ohm total resistance from 100 resistors having 1 ohm resistance?

Connect 50 of them in series. This would have 50 ohm as equivalent. Same way have another 50 pieces in series. This again would have 50 ohm as effective value. Now connect these in parallel to each other. Now the effective would become as 25 ohm.


What sezi cable can you use to connect 10amps motor 3 phase?

14/3 copper with ground on a 25 amp breaker Before I get chastised for recommending that 14 gauge wire be protected with a 25 amp breaker, which would be in violation of standard wiring requirements, Sec. 240.4(G) of the NEC tells us that the standard wiring requirements, i.e. 15 amps on 14 gauge wire, does not apply to motors. Table 430.52 tells us that an inverse-time circuit breaker (that's a standard type breaker) can be set to 250% of the FLC of the motor and 430.22 tells us that the branch circuit conductors are sized at 125% of FLC. The question does not say that 10 amps is the FLC. The nameplate rating of a motor is not the FLC. FLC is determined by using the tables in Sect. 430. The name plate rating is used only for sizing current overloads, called "heaters". For my answer I have assumed 10 amps is the FLC.


What cable size to use for a 1 kw motor for a 400v 50 hz 3 phase supply?
