Why is a cracked plug socket can cause a potential fire hazard?
The cracked plug can cause the wires to spark and cause a fire. When the wires are plugged into it where the crack is the wires can touch the socket and cause the fire.
Would incorrect size terminals cause wires to burn out?
What causes wires to burn in terminal strips is the lack of tightness between the set screw and the conductor. A loose junction will start to arc. Minor at first but as the oxidisation from the heating and cooling continues the resistance of the joint becomes higher.As the resistance becomes higher the more amperage is needed to flow through the joint to operate the load. The heating of the conductor will get high enough to melt the insulation from the conductor. Once the insulation is gone this becomes conducive for a short circuit to occur.If the wire gets hot enough and the circuits breaker does not trip, the wire can completely burn off from the terminal strip and the circuit will open.
Can a cut electrical wire cause a fire?
If the exposed wire grounds out and a great amount of heat is produced then yes a fire could start under this condition. Remember overhead transmission wires are exposed wires but are well insulated from ground so as not to have the above scenario happen.
What do you do with extra wires to a light fixture?
Extra wires to a light fixture are dangerous. It can cause electrical shock when having contact to people therefore it must be guarded to avoid physical contact.
What causes choke in a fluorescent tube light to burn?
There is a coil which converts ac/ to d/c in some models. Sometimes the insulation fails and the wires gets shorted. The wires are covered with a very thin layer of shellac to reduce the size of the ballast and increase inductance.
If a over sized fuse is used instead of the correct fuse what could happen?
if you use the a fuse that is larger than the amount of current that the wire can safely carry you could cause the wires to get hot (even possible melt) and cause a fire You could burn your house down.
Why would bundling spark plug wires 2 3 and 4 in '91 Mazda B2200 quickly cause them to literally burn up?
cheap wires
What causes a defective Spark Plug Wire in 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer?
The insides of plug wires are made with carbon. bent to tight or handled ruff will cause the carbon to brake & you have a bad wire. that will cause a miss. Old wires or wires to close to exhaust will cause outside insulation to burn or get hard.
Could hitting a pothole cause electrical damage to your car?
It could loosen wires. Yes.
Could driving at high speed cause a fuse to burn out?
anything can cause a fuse to burn out. it's not anything to be worried about just replace the fuse and move on
What would cause the coil to burn out on a 03 Mazda 323f Sports I have had 5 burn out in 18 months not the same coil?
if u are runing i hot or one of he wires have a cut and its touching metal
What can you do to fix the starter plunger switch for Jeep Cherokee that sticks?
if your talking about the one on or in the starter, you have a bad solinoid. This could be or come to be very serious, very quickly, for instance, if it sticks while the gears are engaged it will burn out the starter and maybe a feed back that could burn wires. A starter uses a lot of juice and the wires could get very hot if the starter sticks
Could your starter be burnt up by the large ground wire touching one of the smaller wires on the top of the solenoid after being tightened down?
A ground wire touching smaller wires can burn out your starter. It is more likely that it will burn out the solenoid before burning out the starter.
Could crossed wires cause timing to jump?
No. A worn timing chain or belt would cause timing to jump.
Why do you get chest burn and can't breathe?
You could have heart problems that cause you to have chest burn and make it difficult to breathe. You could have also eaten something that doesn't agree with you.
What causes laptops to burn out?
Various things could cause a laptop to burn out. For example, if the cooling system is not working correctly or is blocked.
Why does wiper fuse keep blowing?
If your wiper fuse keeps blowing, there is either a short or a "dry connection" in your wiring, or the earth/ground wire isn't making a good contact, try getting a wiring schematics/ diagram and check your wires for any sign of shorting out or corrosion damage. Never put in a larger fuse as this will cause your wires to burn and can cause insulation on your wires to melt and possibly cause a fire! Mice can also get into your car to nest and they could also chew your cables. this happened to my brother.
