The current can be monitored at either the head end of the under ground run or at the downstream exit point adjacent to the load. A clamp on portable meter is usually used for this job.

Answer

In Europe, underground power cable conductors are measured in square millimetres; in North America, they are measured in circular mils or multiples thereof.

Is a dynamometer used to test electrical safety?

No, a dynamometer is not used to test electrical safety. A dynamometer is a device used to measure mechanical force, torque or power. Electrical safety testing is typically done using instruments such as multimeters, insulation testers, and ground resistance testers.


Is a monitor grounded through a computer as well as through its own power cable?

A monitor is typically grounded through its own power cable, which connects to the electrical outlet. While it can also receive a ground reference through the computer via the connection interface (like HDMI or DisplayPort), the primary grounding path is through the power cable. This ensures safety and minimizes electrical noise. Proper grounding helps prevent electrical interference and protects both the monitor and the computer from potential faults.

Would you recommend coax cable for running power to an outdoor lamp post?

No, coaxial cable is not suitable for running power to an outdoor lamp post. Coax cable is designed for transmitting data signals, such as cable television or internet, rather than electrical power. For outdoor electrical applications, it's better to use outdoor-rated electrical wire, such as UF (underground feeder) cable, which is specifically designed to handle power and withstand environmental conditions.

What is three core cable?

Three core cable is an electrical cable that consists of three conductors: typically one for live (phase), one for neutral, and one for ground (earth). This type of cable is commonly used in power distribution and electrical installations to provide a complete circuit. The ground wire enhances safety by providing a path for fault currents, reducing the risk of electric shock or fire. Three core cables are often used in residential and commercial wiring applications.
