What is difference between core cable and pair cable?

The term core represents each individual conductor within a cable, and a pair is two cores (or two conductors) within a cable. For example if you have a 3 core cable, then the cable has 3 separate conductors in it (3 separate cables within the PVC coating). A 3 pair cable would be 3 sets of 2 cores, so this would have 6 conductors within the cable.


Why does a CAT-6 cable have plastic core?

because you touch yourself at night.


When you clamp a single core cable carrying about 500A with an aluminum cable clamp do you have to take care of any effects due to Eddy currents and If so what can you do to minimise these effects.?

Assuming the single core cable forms part of a three phase circuit (i.e. you are clamping three single core cables) it is best to install the three cables close togther in what is called "trefoil" formation. This harmonises the Eddy currents of each phase.


Which wire is the most dangerous in a plug?

The Active wire is always either Red (in a 3 core Red, Black and Green cable) or Brown (in a 3 core Brown, Blue and Green/Yellow cable). You can also be electrocuted by the neutral (Black or Blue) wire if the active is still supplying current through a device. The only truly safe way to handle mains wiring is to completely isolate the circuit at the fuse board.


Why would four core armoured cable be used in a single phase circuit?

Four core armoured cable would be used in a circuit carrying 240 Volts 60 Hz AC that is installed in a location where it could get damaged, such as underground or under water. The 4 cores in the armoured cable would be used as the following conductors for the 240 V 60 Hz circuit: * "Red" hot (120V above Neutral)* "Black" Hot (120V below Neutral)* "Neutral"* "Ground" to protect the circuit, connected to the main incoming supply panel which feeds the circuit.

Why does a CAT6 cable have a plastic core?

The plastic core keeps the twisted pairs separated allowing less crosstalk than CAT-5 cable.

What is the difference between 2 core and 3 core wire?

A two core cable is used where an earth is not required. A three core cable is used where an earth is requred. Specialised three core cables are available for 3 phase and two-way switching applications.
