its casing will dry out, crack and catch fire, or it will crack off and cause arking, which can cause a fire... ultimately, check the gauge size of the circuit and make sure it corresponds to the proper amperage of breaker, if this is all good, you need a bigger cord(the gauge size must be sufficient for the intended tool/device.. a drill that has a 16 amp rating needs a 12 gauge cord whereas a 12 amp drill needs only a 14 gauge cord.
What else can I help you with?
What is the wire that heats up an electric heater made out of?
copper?
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
Can the white wire be used as a switched leg?
No, not in the North American electrical system. Opening up a neutral on a three wire circuit could create a series circuit if two devices are plugged into the same receptacle. This is how kitchen counter receptacles are wired in all new homes.
How much power is a hair dryer using if it operates at a voltage of 110 volts and has a current of 6 amps?
About 660 watts. A hair dryer has a small blower motor and a resistance winding that heats up. The formula is watts = volts x amps x power factor. In the case of a resistive load like the wire that heats up the PF = 1. However, the blower will have a lower PF of about .8.
What is draw wire?
making a twisted up, sometimes useless piece of wire into a straight piece again.
What is the wire that heats up an electric heater made out of?
copper?
If you tie piece of copper wire a end of a exhaust.. what will happen?
If a person ties a piece of copper wire at the end of the exhaust pipe on a vehicle the copper is going to heat up. When the copper heats up it will turn a rainbow of colors.
What is the source of energy in pop up toaster?
The energy in a pop-up toaster comes from electricity. When the toaster is plugged in, the electrical current heats up wires inside the toaster, which in turn heats the bread or other items placed inside.
What forms of energy does a kettle have?
A kettle has electrical energy when it is plugged in and heating up water. It also has thermal energy, as it heats up the water inside.
Do you hook up the ground wire first to an amp?
No. Hook up the power wire first, then the ground wire. The ground wire is what acutually draws the power to the unit. As you will notice the power wont turn on if just the power wire is plugged in..
What metal or material is used in the rear window defroster?
A High resistance wire, such as NiChrome; the wire heats up when amperage flows through.
When the engine of a car heats up what happen to the spark plug gap?
It decreases
Does anything happen when a laptop heats up?
Yes, the fan spins to cool it down
Why do power lines sag lower between telephone poles in summer than winter?
the metal inside the wire heats up leading to the expansion of the wire.
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
What heats up inside a kettle?
Water heats up inside a kettle when it is placed on the stove or plugged into an electrical outlet. The heat source, whether it be gas flames or an electric heating element, transfers energy to the water molecules, causing them to move faster and increase in temperature.
What are you hearing when you shake a light bulb?
The piece of coiled wire made of Tungsten (Wolfram) that heats up and glows in the lamp.
