How do you use BS7671 and IEE wiring regulations when selecting wires and cables and when carrying out tests on systems?
Tense your buttocks, wait 5 seconds and push. The correct wire should appear out of your anus. Congratulations
Why does polystyrene melt when in contact with plastic electrical cable insulation?
AnswerIsn't polystyrene commonly known as "styrofoam" ?If so, why is it coming in contact with electrical wiring?In any event, if the polystyrene is melting, the wiring may be overloaded or has a hotspot due to a failure. The wire may be getting hotter than it should be.I am not aware of any chemical reaction that would occur if the two plastics touch each other at room temperature.I am:-Polystyrene is commonly used in loft and wall insulation, just the places that cables are run. The plasticisers used to make the PVC insulation on the cables flexible reacts with the polystyrene resulting in the polystyrene appearing to 'melt' and the plasticiser migrates out of the cable making it brittle and causing the insulating properties to break down. The cable will eventually fail, especially if disturbed and this is both a fire and electrocution risk.There is the added problem that the cables will get hotter due to the thermal insulation properties of the polystyrene preventing the cable from losing heat. If this hasn't been allowed for in the design of the circuit it too could be a fire hazard.The wiring regulations (BS7671 section 522.5.3) prohibits contact between PVC cables and polystyrene, but this is a common problem. An electrical engineer (or most electricians) can do a periodic inspection of your wiring system that includes insulation tests that will identify failed or failing cables. The only solution is to replace damaged cables and reroute them or provide conduit to protect them.PS Styrofoam is, I believe, an American brand name for polystyrene often associated with disposable coffee cups and similar products.
What type of documentation would help you identify patch cables?

What type of wiring system should be used for petrol filling station?
There are special regulations for wiring in filling stations that are more rigorous than those used on oil rigs, because petrol vapour can be highly explosive and filling stations are frequented by the public and by personnel not familiar with explosive hazards. There is a set of UK regulations in the 'Blue Book'.
What is the International colour code of AC wiring?
Sorry, don't know if there is any "international code" but there are separate European and US wiring standards which are known as "codes" or "regulations". Many countries around the world use wiring regulations similar to the European system.Most of the others use wiring codes similar, if not identical, to the US system.EuropeLive: BrownNeutral: BlueEarth: Green/YellowUSALive: Black for 1st "Hot" leg, Red for 2nd "Hot" legNeutral: WhiteEarth: Green or Bare Wire

What is a thin-walled steel raceway of circular form with a corrosion resistant coating for protection of wires or cables?
In electrical wiring it is a pipe called a conduit. Wire and cables are run through for protection of the wiring.
What does the site Cables To Go sell?
Cables To Go sell a number of household electrical equipment for a cheap price. They primarily sell cables for wiring like computer cables and other forms of cables you need to connect to your computer.
