Why copper and aluminum are used in electrical cables?
Because they have low electrical resistance, good enough mechanical properties and aren't too expensive.
Why energy is lost from power transmission cables?
Energy is lost from power transmission cables due to resistance in the materials used to make the cables. When electricity flows through the cables, some of the energy is converted to heat as it encounters resistance, causing a loss of efficiency in transmitting power over long distances.
How do you remove electrical cables without damaging existing cables?
How do you remove electrical cables without damaging existing cables?"
What is meggers?
A megger is an electrical instrument that is used to measure the resistance of insulation by applying a DC voltage to the conductor. One lead is connected to the conductor and the other lead is connected to ground. Safe insulation reading to ground should be above 2,000,000 ohms or 2 megs.
What form of energy does electrical cables?
Electric cables carry electrical energy in the form of electricity.
In electrical installation why do you need to ensure the cables are not twisted or plaited?
Because it would affect the Cross sectional area of the conductor therefore altering the resistance.
Is rubber a bad insulator?
Rubber is actually a good insulator due to its high resistance to the flow of electricity. It is commonly used in electrical cords and cables to help prevent electrical shocks and short circuits.
Why. Are metals used for making electrical cables?
aluminium is used for making electrical cables as the metal do not melt easily
Why are electrical cables set to sag?
because of heat cables expand
What is the purpose of a conductor shield in electrical cables?
The purpose of a conductor shield in electrical cables is to protect the conductor from electromagnetic interference and to prevent leakage of electrical signals.
What is RTD sheathing and how does it contribute to the overall performance of electrical cables?
RTD sheathing stands for Resistance Temperature Detector sheathing, which is a type of protective covering used in electrical cables. It helps to maintain the stability and accuracy of temperature readings within the cable, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the electrical system. The RTD sheathing contributes to the overall performance of electrical cables by ensuring that temperature-sensitive components are protected and that the cable can effectively transmit data or power without being affected by temperature fluctuations.
What is a Continuity test on Electrical Cables?
Continuity of electrical cables must, because it is the process of inspection to found any discontinuity in the cable
