Why are most electrical wires surrounded by non-metallic materials?
Wires have to be insulated from each other to confine the current inside the wire. Most wires are insulated with a pvc sheath surrounding the copper wire.
Which type of transmission medium consists of a number of individually insulated copper wires?
Twisted pair
Why is an insulated ground wire used in a 3 phase 4 wire system?
A three-phase 4-wire system has three live wires and a neutral, which is earthed at at least one point at the transformer. All current-carrying wires are insulated in this system, for safety. The voltage on the neutral might be zero or only a volt or two, but under fault conditions its voltage could be much higher.
Wires used for electrical connections in a rotisserie should be insulated with?
Heat-resistant, high-temperature materials.

Why aluminium wires are not insulated?
Aluminum wires are insulated.
Are wires insulated to keep then warm?
Most are insulated to keep them from grounding out or interference.
What are insulated wires made out of?
An insulated wire is made of a conductor surrounded by an insulating 'jacket'.
Can you run insulated wires in a conduit pipe?
Except for the ground wire they must be insulated.
What cases eletricity?

Which does not state a principle related to why ground wires are in effective safety device?
Electronic devices are protected from power surges by having insulated wires
Insulated fittings can be used to splice wires thus eliminating the need for?
Soldering the wires together
What is the difference between insulated wire and ordinary cable?
Insulated wires and cables are commonly used conductors in power engineering
Can you mount a flat screen tv on an exterior wall?
Yes. The only complication might be that, if you need to run the wires to the TV inside the wall and the exterior wall is insulated, it may be difficult to fish the wires through the wall cavity.
What are the two wires inside the cable of a hairdryer made from?
Most likely insulated copper.
