Is it safe to breathe in the fumes from heated copper wire?
Hot copper wire gives off no fumes.However if you are talking about insulated copper wire, the insulation will give off fumes. Depending on the type of insulation it can be anywhere from totally safe to deadly!
Is copper in electrical wiring number one copper?
No, number one copper is used in buss bars. "Number one copper" is a term I am familiar with from recycling copper. It does indeed include buss bars, but also includes any solid wire whose insulation has been removed, or large gauge wire with large strands (as opposed to small gauge stranded wire) whose insulation has been removed. -- Sparkfighter
How big around is copper wire mcm 750?
The diameter of an insulated 750 MCM copper wire is 1.25 inches. The insulated 750 MCM copper wiring has 61 strands and has a weight of 2.7 pounds per foot.
What is the plastic coating on the wire called?
Plastic or rubber is used as insulation around electrical wires, keeping them from contacting other parts of a circuit, and from grounding out to conductive materials. Where insulation is removed or damaged, a spark or short could cause fires or other damage.
What is the color of insulation over an earth wire?
The insulation will be green in colour. Also bare copper can be used as a ground wire.

What is the advantage of using insulated copper wires in wiring circuits?
Copper is : a good conductor, easy to work, and relatively cheap. And you use the insulation to help avoid shorts.
How can copper be removed from an electric motor?
Take it apart and burn the insulation out, if you can, in a pile of brush. Or you could also take a torch to it and see if that gets the insulation out. If you use flame to melt the copper, beware of toxic fumes from burning rubber and plastic insulation.
Is burning copper wire illegal?
If you burn off the insulation from insulated wire to make clean copper scrap the only problem is that starting that kind of trash fire may not be permitted. It is not the presence of copper itself that would be illegal.
What does 350 MCM copper weight per foot?
The bare conductor is about 1.05 lb per foot. Insulated wire weight varies by type of insulation.
Does insulated copper wire conduct electricity?
Yes, without the insulation on the wire you would have a hard time getting the voltage to the load without a short circuit developing.
Is copper in electrical wiring number one copper?

Why does die cast copper parts fetch a higher scrap price than bare wire?
castings made from copper alloy are a higher grade of copper than the copper in wire. Also, the insulation on the copper wire needs to be removed,
How do you use the word insulation in a sentence?
Heavy gloves keep electricians insulated from any live electrical circuits. The snow wall of the igloo insulated the family from the extreme cold outside. An insulated attic will prevent heat loss in the winter.
Is a copper wire a ground wire?
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
What is the melting point of the insulation on copper wire?
i believe the numbers on the wire will tell you some insulated wires need to go in warm areas my guess is approx 275-300 degrees Fahrenheit
Do ground wires have to be covered with wire insulation?
Not always, the electrical code is quite specific as to the type of installation where the ground wire needs to be insulated and in what type of installation the ground wire can use bare copper.
