Cable sheath current is a current induced in the sheath by radio, magnetic or other interference, or a fault condition. The cable sheath should be grounded at one end so that this current flows to ground safely.

∙ 8y agoMetallic sheathed cable is a cable that had a metallic outer protective covering that protects the inner current carrying conductors from damage. Examples for this type of cable is MI (Mineral insulated cable), shown in photo above. BX cable and Teck cable are two more examples of this type of cable.

What is the difference between Type AC Cable and Type ACT cable?
ACT has thermoplastic insulated wires. AC is old MC is the modern cable.
What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?
There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
What is the difference between a joint and a termination?
The cable joints inthe middle of the cable line are called middle joints and the cable joints at two ends of the line are called terminal heads
What is capacitive grading?
—By grading of cable meant the distribution of dielectric material such that the difference between the maximum gradient and the minimum is reduced — A cable of the same size could be operated at higher voltages or for the same operating voltage a cable of relatively smaller size could be used
What is the difference between armored cable and flexible metallic conduit?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Metallic Conduit is a tube or pipe though which we lay electrical cable.(Most commonly lighting cables).

What is the difference between thhn and romex?
THHN is a heat resistant thermoplastic insulated conductor, usually a single conductor. Romex is a brand name for a nonmetallic sheathed cable, it has multiple conductors inside, the insulated ones are insulated with THHN insulation.
What is the bare copper conductor found in non metallic - sheathed cable?
The bare copper conductor found in non metallic sheathed cable is the ground wire. On a wire count in a cable set the ground wire is never counted even though it is always there.
