Which wire is not present in a 2 pin plug?
In a 2-pin plug, the wire that is not present is the grounding wire. This type of plug only has two prongs for the live and neutral wires, unlike a 3-pin plug that includes a grounding wire for added safety.
In electrical terms what does 2p3w refer to?
2 pole, 3 wire.
When at a 2 pole light switch and the wire colors shown are black white and green which is the hot wire and which is the common?
the black wire is the hot wire
A guy wire is attached to an upright pole 6 meters above the ground. If the wire is anchored to the ground 4 meters from the base of the pole how long is the wire?
The guy wire, pole, and ground form a right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where a = 4m and b = 6m, we can solve for the length of the guy wire (c). Thus, c = √(4^2 + 6^2) = √(16 + 36) = √52 meters, or approximately 7.2 meters long.
3 wire to 2 wire plug?
To convert a 3-wire plug to a 2-wire plug, you would typically remove the ground wire from the circuit. This is not recommended for safety reasons as the grounding wire serves to protect against electrical shocks. It is safer to use a 3-to-2 prong adapter if you need to plug a 3-wire device into a 2-wire outlet.
On a 3 wire plug is the wider blade hot or neutral?
On a 3 wire plug (NEMA 5 configuration, 125v 2 pole 3 wire grounding) the narrow blade is the "hot" lead, the wide blade is the neutral lead, and the U shaped prong is the equipment grounding conductor (EGC). Most 2+G non-metallic-cables (NMC) are color coded for Black = "hot", White = neutral, and Bare = EGC
Where are the 2 hot 1 neutral and 1 grn placed on a 6-30 3 prong female plug?
In a 6-30 3 prong female plug, there are two hot wires, which are usually black or red, and these connect to the two hot terminals. The neutral wire, typically white, connects to the neutral terminal, and the green wire, which is the ground wire, connects to the ground terminal.
Can a double pole circuit breaker be used for 2 different circuits I have a 20 amp double pole breaker want 2 circuits running 14 gauge wire?
can a 20 amp double pole circuit breaker be used for 2 different 120 v circuits using 14 - 2 wire
Why do I get Shocked by a spark plug wire?
1) because spark plugs work by getting a huge blast of electricity delivered to them through the wire 2) because the insulation of the wire isn't perfect, so part of that electricity can jump to you.
How do you properly wire a 2 pole switch in a circuit?
To properly wire a 2 pole switch in a circuit, connect the hot wire to one terminal of the switch and the load wire to the other terminal. Make sure to connect the ground wire to the switch's grounding terminal for safety. This setup allows the switch to control two separate circuits simultaneously.
How long is a guy wire that reaches from the top of a 15-ft pole to a point on the ground 10 feet from the bottom of the pole?
The guy wire forms a right triangle with the pole and the ground. Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), we can calculate the length of the guy wire. In this case, a = 10 ft, b = 15 ft, so the length of the guy wire (c) is √(10^2 + 15^2) = √(100 + 225) = √325 ≈ 18.03 ft.
Can a double pole 20 amp breaker be used with 12-2 wire for a single 220 circuit?
The term "double pole" usually means a breaker with 2 handles that attaches in the space as a normal single pole breaker. If this is what you mean, no, you cannot. There is no potential, or voltage, between the wire terminals. If by "double pole" you mean what is usually called a 2-pole breaker, which is a breaker with 2 handles that attaches in the space of 2 single pole breakers, then yes, you can use this breaker and 12/2 wire to produce a 220v circuit.
