It used to be, but now the ground wire (which replaced the aluminum strip) in the BX cable is used. The ground wire is now used to complete the grounding of connected devices rather that the sheath of the BX.

What is a BX connector?
A BX connector is a special type of box connector used for securing a BX cable to a junction box. BX is a type of armoured cable that is used for specific locations where ordinary Romex cable could become damaged. Before the connector is installed onto the BX cable there is a small PVC collar to be installed. In the trade it is called an anti short. It slides between the outer sheath of the BX and the conductors inside the sheath. It adds protection for the inner conductors from rubbing against the outer sheath if any vibration is involved in the installation. There is usually a small hole in the BX connector and the red anti short can be seen through this hole. This makes it easy for the electrical inspector to see if the anti short bushing has been installed during an inspection, and they do check.

What are the test for 132 kv cable?
1. phase identification test. 2. Insulation Resistance Test. 3. Conductor capacitance. 4.Conductor Resistance. 4. Outer Sheath Test.
What is the advantage of connecting the outer conductor of a coaxial cable to ground?
To prevent the outer conductor, or shield, from radiating, it is connected to electrical ground, keeping it at a constant potential.
How do i tighten the clutch cable on a 1983 rabbit?
the cable is adjusted at the gearbox end. at the bracket on the gearbox where the outer cable ( cable sheath) ends there are two locknuts. slacken these, and turn the adjuster. undo it to shorten the free play, screw it in to increase free play. two people make the job easier one to check the measurment one to do the adjustment.

Why MICC cables are meggering?
since the MICC cable the isolation between core is less as well as the outer sheath has probability of getting damaged during installation so meggering is important Any clarification mail to amal_elias@ymail.com
