Do you need a neutral wire for a light to work?
The neutral wire is the return wire back to the distribution panel from the load. Without this return wire no load will work.
When does a motor not need a neutral wire?
If the motor is operated from a three phase three wire distribution system the motor will not need a neutral wire.
How much does amperage drop with distance?
It is dependant on the voltage being used, size of wire, distance of the run from the distribution and load connected at the other end.
What is use 2 in copper wire?
Use 2 in copper wire refers to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard for copper wire used in electrical applications. AWG 2 copper wire has a diameter of 0.2576 inches and is commonly used for high current applications such as industrial machinery or power distribution systems. It can carry a maximum current of approximately 190 amps.
Symbol used for a connecting wire?
In a circuit diagram a connecting wire is shown as a straight line. <<>> On an electrical schematic where two lines intersect each other, a black dot represents a connection at that point. If there is no black dot, the intersecting lines just cross each other.
What size of earth wire can be used in wiring system?
You will need to look up cabling/wiring codes.Is it:Telephony,Audio distribution,110 volt power lines, orHigher voltage power lines?
How do you find neutral line among distribution lines?
US NEC: The neutral line is the white wire. Coming from the pole, it is the ground wire.
Why does power distribution lines have neutral?
They usually do not but very often high-voltage lines have an earth wire running along the top of the support towers as a lightning protection.
Why is secondary part of a distribution transformer connected in star while primary part is in delta?
This isn't always the case, although it is common throughout Europe. It is because high-voltage transmission and distribution lines are three-wire systems, while low-voltage distribution systems are four-wire systems.
Is orange the neutral wire in a plug?
No, the colour white is used to identify the neutral in electrical distribution systems.
What types of wire are used in transmission lines?
Stranded aluminium, with a steel core.
When lines of force are cut by a you have electromagnetic induction?
When lines of force are cut by a conductor you have electromagnetic induction. A metallic wire can be used as the conductor.
What are power lines used for?
Answer youtubeAnswerThere are two categories of 'power lines': 'transmission lines' and 'distribution lines'. Transmission lines comprise lines supported by transmission towers ('pylons') and distribution lines comprise lines supported by poles. In both cases, their function is to transport electrical energy from the generating stations to the consumer. Transmission lines are normally part of the grid system, a network which links many generating stations and load centres (usually located near large towns, for example); distribution lines link these load centres to consumers -factories, commercial buildings, residences.
What is a function of neutral wire?
to complete the circuit and back to power supply
What kind of transformer is used to change the voltage of electric current in transmission lines before it enters houses in a neighborhood?
It's called a 'distribution transformer', as opposed to a 'power transformer' which is used in the transmission and primary-distribution electrical systems.
Where do the electrons go in the common wire?
the electrons don't actually go anywhere, they move in a circular mode... the electrons bounce from one atom to another so that there is always balance... as soon as a valence electron moves to another atom another electron replaces the one just lost...
What line deliver electricity to your home?
Distribution lines
