Can a cut cable wire cause a fire?
If by 'cable wire' you mean Coax cable for the TV, or Internet, then the answer is no. The power/voltages in the cable are way to low to produce a spark which is usually what triggers flame. If by 'cable wire' you mean a cable carrying an electrical service such as 120V or 240V, then, if the cable is damaged by an accidental or deliberate cut which causes a short circuit from a hot phase wire or wires to other wires in the cable - such as to other hot phase wires in a 3-phase circuit, a neutral or a ground wire - then the resulting heavy current could result in the cable becoming very hot and could cause it to catch on fire unless there was some overcurrent protection device to prevent that from happening. That is why fuses and/or circuit breakers should always be included in any electrical service wiring to cut off the supply of current before a fire can be caused by such damage.
What are the causes of high water temperature?
Shallow water Waters that runs off in hot ground and water that are used in factories
What causes the fracture of the ground?
Earthquake causes fracture of the ground.
Why is it hot under the ground?
it is hot under ground because volcanos are under ground
What does hot ground mean?
When a ground that is not bonded correct to the main disscomect get energized by a hot lead
What cable is the ground on a car bat?
The black cable is the negative or ground. The red cable is the hot or positive calbe.
When you jump your car it want start cable get hot?
Electricity passes through the cable. As it passes through the cable, the electricity will encounter resistance. This is what causes an electrical cable to heat up.
What causes hot spots on earth?
The flow of molten magma is what causes varying hot spots on Earth. Hot spots are also known to heat water beneath the ground.
Why do your hot water fausets make noise in the winter?
Frozen ground and the ground expands and shifts which causes movement
Why does a hot balloon fly?
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.

Why would there be 9.8 volts on ground cable when tested from ground cable to battery ground?
Something is shorted to ground.
What causes the ground to shimmer on a hot day?
The shimmer is caused by the waves of heat rising from the road surface.

What is a bad ground cable?
In an electrical circuit, you'll have a charged circuit (the positive), and a ground circuit... a bad ground cable is a cable which is somehow not effectively completing the ground.. could be poor conductive material, a break or fray in the cable, an improper grounding point..
What causes a car to stall upon starting after a rainy day?
corroded braided ground cable off starter frayed and check dist. cap.
