Can you splice a240v 30amp receptacle to move it further?
Yes, but you have to do it correctly. You should use 10 AWG wire. The splice should be in an approved electric box using the right size wire nuts. You secure and protect the extended wire and you should not "bury" the splice box in the wall, but cover it with an approved cover made for the purpose. If it is a surface mount box, cover it with a blank metal cover.
When using a copper split bolt connector on 120V wire what is the best way to protect it when it needs to be waterproof and underground?
Split bolt connectors are a mechanical connection and are not approved for underground splices. Use an approved C clamp or butt splice hypress connection for the splice. Install heat shrink over the wire before making the splice, to seal the connection for underground waterproofing.
Can a Lincoln Electric Handy MIG Welder use flux wire?
Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.
Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?
we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity
How and why do i use a 2 way spliter to wire up my new electric furnace?
how and whydo iuse one wire to run my new electric furnace that says to use a spliter to attach to the 2 circuit brakers on the furnace. I cannot get it to work properly when I do
Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.

What is the procedure for splicing home service wires?
The electrical code states that any splice in a wire, the insulation over the splice has to be equal to or greater than the insulation on that of the rest of the wire. So what ever type of splice that you use make sure that you insulate it well.
What is a wire splice box?
Wires are not to be spliced or otherwise connected except in an approved electrical box. The box should be accessible, such as an electric outlet or switch box. If you decide to NOT use the box as an outlet or switch box, make certain that you use a blank cover.
What do you use wire strippers for?
To strip wires surrounded by an insulator, like rubber for instance. That way you can splice them etc.
What does wire splicing mean?
Electrical wire splicing is the act of removing the outer shell of a wire, exposing the inside and connecting to another wire that is also spliced. This also allows you to add length to wiring.
What metal are use to make electric wire and why?
copper plated aluminum wire
How to connect two wires together?
You can solder them after using a western splice connection. You can use a mechanical butt splice and you can connect the wires together with a wire nut after twisting the wires together. All you have to remember is that the insulation of the splice has to be equal to the wire insulation or greater.
Can the cord on an electric heater be lengthened?
Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.
What is the main use of lad wire?
The main use of lead wire is as connection to an electric pole of an electronics component.
