Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
What metal is used for conducting electricity in houses and buildings?
Copper
Which are the materials or metals used for making pipe?
Before copper and plastic pipes became available people used to use lead, iron or steel to make water pipes. Nowadays main water supply pipes for fresh water coming into buildings are made of plastic and pipes within buildings - delivering water to sinks, baths, showers and toilets - are made either of copper or plastic. Within buildings, pipes which take away waste water - which are also called drainage pipes - are usually made of plastic. Outside buildings, modern drainage pipes are mostly made of plastic but older drain pipes may be made of glazed earthenware (which is baked clay) or iron.
Can copper be used as a roof covering because it can be made into sheets?
Not only can it be used as a roof covering, it often has been - albeit an expensive one. Many domed buildings, like state capitols, have had their domes covered with copper sheeting, which then oxidizes over time to form a distinctive green patina.
Can DC power interfere with the Ethernet?
In extremely high amperages it can(as it will be radiating energy), but most normal installations of DC will not affect ethernet copper cabling. AC will almost always due to its alternating states. I'm not 100% sure on this, but in my office (Telecom Provider Central Office) we run ethernet and DC copper close to each other, but with AC with put them in a different tray and run them in plastic electrical tubing to help shield.
Fiber preferable to copper cabling for interconnecting buildings?
depend on how much budget, you can do fiber and multiplexes , or just cooper , depend is for data or phone? how much is the traffic?, this is a too open question that is more related to the bugdet that anything.
What is a hazard of working with copper cabling?
der, electrocution?
What are the different types of cabling used in the maintenance activities?
copper cable
Gigabit Ethernet what type of cabling?
There are different types of gibabit Ethernet; the cabling can either be some kind of copper cable, usually UTP, or fiber optic.
What is one advantage of using fiber optic cabling rather than copper cabling?
Fiber optics carry vastly more information than ordinary cables, for a given thickness of cable.
Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
Why is a cooking pot made out of copper cooks faster?
Copper is a conductor, which means it conducts heat more quickly, hence heating up faster. The same reason is for why copper is used in electricity cabling.
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal cabling?
Vertical Cabling - Runs between floor to floor. It is used for Core to Distribution (or Access) switch connectivity. Usually consists of fiber cables Horizontal Cabling - Runs on one floor. Runs from Distribution or Access switches to the end user. Usually copper.
Why is copper better than gold for buildings?
It's Cheaper
What metal is used for conducting electricity in houses and buildings?
Copper
Why is copper vessel is covered with the green coating in rainy season?
This is copper's version of oxidisation. It occurs very visibly on buildings with copper trim on the roofs.
You want to implement a network medium that is not susceptible to EMI which type of cabling should you use?
Any shielded copper cable or fiber optic cable.
