Does earthing wire carry current?
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
Does thin wire carry more current than thick wire?
No. The larger wire can carry more current.
Current carrying capacity of cable?
what is the current carrying capasity of 16mm cable
Why can wire sizes be smaller when higher system voltages are used?
It has to with the fact that when voltages go higher the current goes lower. The lower the current a device draws, the smaller the wire size needs to be to carry that current.
Why neutral wire does not carry current in closed ac circuit?
The neutral wire does carry current in a closed AC circuit. Clamp a clamp on amp meter around the neutral wire directly after the circuit load and it will read the same current as is on the "hot" wire.
What size wire for 250 amps?
15mm approx.
Does earthing wire carry current?
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
Does thin wire carry more current than thick wire?
No. The larger wire can carry more current.
What is the use of wire gauge?
Wire gauge is used to determine the size wire needed to carry the correct amount of current for the job. It must be sized appropriately for the current in the circuit you are building.
In selectecting the wire size for a line cord you should remember that?
The wire size is large enough to carry the load current and that the cord is properly voltage rated.
Current carrying capacity of cable?
what is the current carrying capasity of 16mm cable
What happens to the current carrying capacity of a conductor when you change the frequency from 50hz to 60hz?
The current caring capacity of a wire is based on the physical size of the wire. The larger the diameter of the wire the more amperage the wire is allowed to carry.
Why can wire sizes be smaller when higher system voltages are used?
It has to with the fact that when voltages go higher the current goes lower. The lower the current a device draws, the smaller the wire size needs to be to carry that current.
Can the size of wire affect an electromagnet's temperature output?
An electromagnet isn't designed to output any temperature. If it does that, then you can be sure that the size of wire from which it's wound is too small to safely carry the current it is carrying.
Why thin wires are used?
Wires are sized depending on the amount of amperage they are expected to carry. High current required a large size wire and hence small amount of current only needs a small wire.
What size of copper wire can carry 30 amps?
Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.
