Is it true that shield wires conductors located above the phase conductors protect the phase conductors against lightning?
Yes, but they're not 'phase' conductors, they're 'line' conductors.
Why plus 48V not use in telecoms?
To avoid the corrosion of the copper conductors under the ground.
If ther are more than conductors in the raceway the ampacity of the conductors must be derated?
Ampacity must be derated depending on the number of conductors and the ambient temperature. In the Canadian Electrical Code Table 5C denotes derating for the number of conductors. 1-3 conductors = 100% load 4-6 conductors = 80% 7-24 conductors = 70% 25-42 conductors = 60% 43 or more conductors = 50%
How to reduce tower footing resistance?
1. Use of short length radial conductors bonded at the injection point. rather than a single long length conductor. This produces the effect of having a number of conductors in parallel. 2. Terminating radial conductors with vertical electrodes. This measure is more effective in low to medium soil resistivity. 3. Using large bending radii when changing the direction of horizontal conductors. Sharp bends tend to increase the inductance. 4. The use of earth enhancing compounds to improve the soil resistivity in the proximity of the conductors which will reduce the tower footing resistance
Can you use a transformer to compensate the voltage drop in a branch circuit?
If the voltage drop is excessive, it is a sign that the circuit conductors may be undersized. Better to install larger conductors. If you try to use a transformer, under light loads the voltage will rise to unacceptable levels, possibly damaging equipment.
Are bad conductors of electricity used to cover electrical wires?
No, materials with a high insulation value factor are used to cover electrical wire to provide a barrier from the wire shorting out to ground. By using the term "bad conductors" states that there is conductivity to a degree.
Who uses conductors?
The electrical trade is one of many trades that use conductors for projects.
How many conductors does a POTS line use?
Each telephone line uses only two conductors.
What is the main use of long and spiked conductors?
Long, spiked, rigid conductors are usually used as ground rods.
Where might you use conductors or insulaters?

Why are the electrical plugs we use have metal?
Metals are conductors.
Is three phase transmission line is example of bundle conductor?
'Bundled' conductors describe a line in which two or more conductors are supported from the same insulator chain. In the UK, 275-kV transmission lines typically use two conductors per line, and 400-kV transmission lines typically use four conductors per line. The purpose of bundling conductors is to spread the electric stress on the conductors (e.g. for four conductors, the same amount of electric flux will be 'shared' between the four conductors, rather than concentrated on the surface of one conductor).
What word do musicians or conductors use to say hold?
Personally, I use "Hold"...
What is the designation on the conductors that are approved for direct burial?
USE, USE-2, and UF
Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
What is the production of electricity in conductors with the use of magnets?
It is electromagnetic induction.
