Can you use 10-3 wire instead of 10-2 wire for basic wiring?

Yes, you can use 10-3 wire instead of 10-2 wire for basic wiring. The extra conductor in the 10-3 wire is typically used for grounding or carrying an additional circuit, providing more flexibility for future electrical needs. Just make sure to properly connect and terminate the wires according to the electrical code requirements.

Explain the comparison between dc 2 wire system and ac single phase 2 wire system and ac 3 phase 3 wire system and ac 3 phase 4 wire system?

of all of dem 3 phase 3 wire is most economical as it uses less conductor dan in 4 wire system, 3 phase 3 wire is used in transmission and 4 wire in distribution as it has 3 live and one neutral wire. 3 phase needs lesser conductor size than 2 phase 4 wire for the same power. 3 wire dc feeder is more economical than 2 wire dc feeder for the same power. that was all i cud get..... hope u find it a lil helpful.


What are the advantages disadvantages of 2 or 3 wire deep well pumps?

2 wire pumps have the start controls inside the motor, 3 wire have a separate start panel that needs to be mounted in a dry location above ground. If there is a problem with capacitors or relays, the 3 wire panel can be repaired easily. Not so much with the 2 wire. 2 wire can be cheaper and quicker to install.
