Is the outer sheath on BX cable an adequate ground path?

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.


Can BX connectors be used with romex wire?

They can as they will support the wire into the box. The deciding factor should be the cost. A BX connector costs about four times the price of a romex connector. Also to keep in mind is that most junction boxes these days have their own built in clamps.


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 is the difference belts b vs bx belt?

B is a smooth inside where the BX is grooved or notched style, according to some websites the BX last longer and is better for a small diameter sheave.


How do you you change a two wire recepial without a ground to a two wire with a ground?

Shut the power off to the recepticle. Then take apart the old outlet. Wire up the new outlet. The only difference between the old and the new will be the grounding. If BX armour cable is used, then you will need to take a jumper wire from the grounding nut on the outlet and connect it to the box with a grounding screw. This wire must be green. If romex has been used, then there is a gounding wire that is in the bundle of the wires coming into the box. If it a metal box, then you must use a grounding screw and ground that wire to the boc and then connect that same wire to the outlet. If its a plastic box, then just wire the ground to the outlet. I also like to wrap the outlet in electrical tape, just incase the the wires were to come loose, they would note hit against the box shorting out. Finally, put the pieces back together. And your DONE!

What does BX 925 stamped on a gold piece of jewelry mean?

925 is the mark for sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver. The BX is probably the manufacturer's mark. The gold jewelry is gold-plated sterling silver.

How do you glue bx cable to steel beam?

You don't glue BX cable to steel. If it has to go on a beam, you usually hold it on with plastic 'tie wraps'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wire ties are not recommended for mounting armored bx cables to steel beams. Wire ties are normally used for bundling wires together to keep them neat, though some glue on cabinet tabs are made to mount wires inside control cabinets. These are not meant for external wire mounting. Cast aluminum clamps are made that hold the bx cable to the beam. a hole must be drilled in the beam to mount the clamps with screws, OR specially made mounting clamps (similar to c-clamps can be mounted to the edge of the beam, then the clamps mounted to those. It is recommended there be no less than one clamp every 6 feet (~2 meters).

What is the integral of sin3ycos5ydy?

Best way: Use angle addition. Sin(Ax)Cos(Bx) = (1/2) [sin[sum x] + sin[dif x]], where sum = A+B and dif = A-B To show this, Sin(Ax)Cos(Bx) = (1/2) [sin[(A+B) x] + sin[(A-B) x]] = (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[-Bx]+sin[-Bx]cos[Ax])] Using the facts that cos[-k] = cos[k] and sin[-k] = -sin[k], we have: (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[-Bx]+sin[-Bx]cos[Ax])] (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[Bx]-sin[Bx]cos[Ax])] (1/2) 2sin[Ax]Cos[Bx] sin[Ax]Cos[Bx] So, Int[Sin(3y)Cos(5y)dy] = (1/2)Int[Sin(8y)-Sin(2y)dy] = (-1/16) Cos[8y] +1/4 Cos[2y] + C You would get the same result if you used integration by parts twice and played around with trig identities.
