What is the difference between 12.2 and 12.3 wire?
The 12 refers to the size of wire in AWG - American Wire Gauge. 12 gauge wire can legally carry 20 Amps, and would be used if the circuit breaker is 20 A. 14 AWG can carry 15 Amps, used on a 15 A breaker. The 2 or 3 refers to the number of ungrounded conductors in a cable (such as romex or NM). 12-2 would contain a hot (black) and a neutral (white). 12-3 would contain two hots (black and red), and a neutral (white). Additionally, these cables are available "with ground," meaning a bare ground wire is added to the cable. So a "12-2 with ground" would actually contain three conductors including the bare ground wire. A 12-2 with ground cable would be used where you needed to run a single 20 A circuit. You are allowed to share a ground and neutral when running two circuits if the circuits are on different legs (phases) in the panel. 12-3 is used for this purpose. It can also be used where you need 240 volts (between the black and red) with a neutral (and ground).
Bear the load or bare the load?
Bear the load. Bare the load would be to uncover the load...
Low resistance on MICC cable how can it be corrected?
by design MICC has a very insulation high resistance. This is measured in Mega Ohms between conductors and between conductors to cable sheath. This high insulation resistance is provided by a highly compressed mineral keeping bare copper conductors apart all within a copper tube called the sheath. Each end of the cable is terminated on site by the engineer to the appropriate length. The termination provides a pot attached the the end of the cable to prevent the ingress of moisture and also a way or providing insulation to the bare conductors. The mineral insulating material in the MICC is quite absorbent so if any moisture is able to get into the cable it will reduce the insulation value of the mineral. Any breach in the integrity of the sheath will allow the cable to breath in moisture and will result in a drop in the insulation value of the cable. The breach can be caused by damage to the sheath by a sharp impact or by age where corrosion to the copper sheath results in a hole. Poorly fitted or damaged terminations can also cause a similar breach and consequent drop in insulation value. As a temporary measure if the damaged section of cable is identified. Isolating the cable from the power supply and providing gentle heat to the outside of the cable with a hand held hair dryer can often improve the insulation resistance value by gently driving out the moisture. It will of course be necessary to replace the damaged section of cable or re assemble the terminations as soon as possible.
What is a cable gland?
A cable gland is a connector which holds the end of a cable in place.
What is a load cable?
Load cable generally means the final cable before the actual load. So on a clothes dryer the "Load Cable" would be the cable running from the outlet to the actual clothes dryer.
What connector or connectors are used with Speaker Cable?
Speaker cable can be used bare or with pin, banana, spade or ring terminals.
What are the colors of conductors in nonmetallic sheathed cable for 2-wire cable?
The colours will be, black, white and a bare copper ground.
What are the colors of the conductors in nonmetallic sheathed cable for two wire cable?
The wire conductor colors in a non metallic sheathed cable are black, red, white, and a bare copper.
What is the bare copper conductor found in non metallic - sheathed cable?
The bare copper conductor in non-metallic sheathed cable serves as the grounding conductor. It is designed to safely carry and redirect any electrical faults or leaks to the earth to prevent electric shock or fires. This conductor is uninsulated to facilitate conductivity and grounding capabilities.
What color is the grounding wire in armored cable?
In older types of armored cable a aluminum strip was used as a bonding medium. This strip was wound back over the outside of the sheath and the connector on the end of the cable was used to secure it. Test were made to see how much short circuit current could be handled by this type of installation and it failed usually by burning open and leaving no ground at all. Now all armored cable has a separate, usually bare copper wire, embedded in with the current carrying conductors. This ground wire is now terminated onto a lug found in the junction box or on the device the cable is connected to.
Alternaitve negative battery cable connection point for a 1985 Nissan truck?
Ground? Any good bare metal point on engine or frame
Are there any cheap cable tv services?
Try checking www.moveutilities.com to compare pricing in your area from the different services. You other option might by to combine a bare bones cable subscription with a Netflix or Hulu subscription to have more shows available on command.
What is an ordinary wrapped cable splice?
It sounds like it is simply two cable wires twisted together and insulated by wrapping the joint with insulating tape. If so, it is better to soldering the twisted bare wires and insulating the joint with a length of heat-shrink tubing.
How do you charge a battery in a Pontiac Montana?
where can i attach the negative of my cable to jumpstart my battery for 1997 Montana van. Attach the negative cable to any bare metal within the engine itself, be sure to keep the cable clear of any belts or moving parts. There is a bolt in the middle of the engine that I used last week to perform the task.
What is the minimum ground wire size for a 20 amp 110 volt circuit?
The ground wire in a two or three conductor #12 cable is a #14 bare ground wire.
Who will bare the cost?
bare
What is correct bare foot or bare feet?
Well bare foot is "barefoot" with no spaces in. Bare feet is alright. we normally use barefoot as in " Can i go barefoot". Bare feet is "PE is done in bare feet"
