The earth conductor is not normally used for communications, but the line conductors frequently are. Often 'communications' has nothing to do with telephone conversations, but more to do with data transmission - usually related to protective systems for the lines themselves. To prevent these communications signals from straying to other parts of the electrical transmission/distribution network, the ends of the conductors used for this purpose are fitted with inductors which offer a high impedance to the high-frequency communications signals, effectively blocking the signals from going further into the network.

A wire is placed on the top of a transmission line to?
Ground wireAnswerIt's a (lightning) protection wire, designed to protect the line conductors from lightning strikes.
When charge are able to flow directly from the circuit into Earth a ciruit electrically?
That is what the Earth wire does. Normally it does not carry current but it has this important safety function.
Can you connect a 6mm earth wire to a 2.5 mm earth wire?
A 6 mm earth wire can be used to replace a 2.5 mm earth wire, but if there is an existing 6 mm earth wire it must be 6 mm all the way to the earth, and not replaced by a smaller wire between it and the earth connection.
Is instead of neutral wire can you ground it by putting the wire in to earth if yes then why is extra wire used for neutral by eleminating netrual wire cost of transmission can be reduced?
Transmission lines do not use a neutral conductor, so your question isn't actually relevant. Neutral wires are only necessary where imbalance may be large, and under some conditions current may be flowing in the neutral. Under these conditions a low impedance path (the neutral wire) is more desireable than a high impedance path (the ground). In many overhead transmission lines, a fourth or fifth wire are placed above the current carrying conductors; these are shield wires (not neutral wires) and are used to minimize outages on the line due to lightning (the lightning will strike these instead of the phase wires, these will flash over to the structures and the energy will be shorted to ground without the line having to be removed from service). When you're dealing with things that cost ~$100,000 - 2M/mile, it may be worth the added expense of a shield wire to keep it in service as much as possible.
What is a lossless transmission line?
A lossless transmission line is when no energy is lost during transmission of energy from a particular source to destination by a certain material, ie. copper wire. In other words, this material that transmits energy, absorbs none of the energy transmitted. No energy is lost to the material during transfer of energy. It is like saying it is an absolutely perfect conductor having no resistance.

What is feeder wire?
The feed line is the cable or other transmission line that connects the antenna with the radio transmitter or receiver
Where is the transmission temperature sensor located at on a 1995 dodge ram 3500 diesel?
In the transmission cooler line. Two wire connector

What is the brown wire on my house wiring?
If you live in Europe, then the brown wire is the line ('hot') conductor; a blue wire is the neutral conductor, and a yellow/green striped wire is the protective (earth) conductor.

What is difference between nutral and earth wire?
A neutral wire provides a return path for the hot lead while an earth or "ground" wire is provided as a safety function only that is not normally intended to carry current except for the purpose of operator protection.
How do you remove the quick connect on the transmission line?
there is a tool yo do it or you can use a very small screwdriver to pull the retaining wire out. be carefull not to bend it so much that it permanitly distorts. then the line just pulls out. all the wire does is hold the line in place there is a bulge in the line that it catches on then an o-ring that makes the seal. one last note if you have to replace the transmission fluid use atf+4 or you will destroy it.
Why don't birds get electricuted while on a electric line?
To get electrocuted you need to complete an electrical circuit. That takes two wires or a wire and an "earth". A bird on a wire is not making a connection to a second wire or to the earth. Therefore no electricity flows and they are perfectly safe.
Ive got red wire and black wire plus earth does red go to L2 or com?
The red and black wires are Line wires in a 3 wire service and includes a common (neutral) wire.
What is a function of earth wire?
The earth wire connects the metal frame of the electrical appliances to the ground. The convention is to have green colour for earth wires. The purpose of earthing is that in case of an insulation failure in some appliance, this wire connected to the metal body will provide a path for the current to flow on the ground. In absence of earth wire, this fault current would have flown through the body of the operator, causing electrical shock.
Can you use a 96 ford winstar transmission in a 98 ford winstar?
No the wire harnas is differant, trying to make it function isant worth the effort.
