What happens to insulation resistance when increasing cable length?
The insulation resistance remains the same throughout the entire length of the conductor.
What is insolation resistance?
I think you mean 'insulation resistance'. This is exactly what it says it is, it is the resistance between opposite sides of an insulator or dielectric. It is in the order of megohms and, in the case of a cable, is inversely proportional to its length -i.e. the longer the cable, the lower its insulation resistance.
Define the thermal resistance of a cable?
No. Conductor resistance is. Cable insulation resistance to ground is inversely proportional to its length. The longer the cable, the more leakage path to ground; therefore, the lower the insulation resistance to ground.
What is the difference between armored cable and flexible metallic conduit?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Metallic Conduit is a tube or pipe though which we lay electrical cable.(Most commonly lighting cables).
What is the formula for calulating test voltage for Insulation Resistance Checking?
Estimated Insulation Resistance of a cable:IR = K log (D/d)K = specific insulation resistance in megohs - 1000 feet at 60 Deg. F (K = 2000 for PVC; 50,000 for EPR; 100,000 for XLP)D = diameter over insulationd = diameter under insulationIR = insulation resistance in megohms - 1000 feet. Note that IR is inversely proportional to the cable length. So don't forget to divide the calculated IR for 1000 ft. by your Cable Length (L) then multiplied by 1000.Be advised that in the real world, the measured IR may not be anywhere close to the calculated IR due to extraneous influences such as humidity, temperature, dirt, etc.
What is the function of the wire stripper?
To strip the insulation of wires in preparation for making electrical connections with them.
What is mineral insulated cable?
Mineral insulated cable is a type of electrical cable that consists of a copper conductor surrounded by magnesium oxide insulation and a continuous copper sheath. This construction provides excellent fire resistance and thermal stability, making it suitable for high temperature and hazardous environments. Mineral insulated cables are commonly used in applications where safety and reliability are critical, such as in industrial plants, nuclear facilities, and commercial buildings.
What cable is used for electrical services?
Copper cable with PVC insulation

What property determines which material you would use to cover an electrical cable?
The material's electrical insulation properties and fire resistance are key factors in determining the suitability for covering an electrical cable. Additionally, factors like flexibility, durability, and cost-effectiveness also play a role in material selection.
What happens to the value of insulation resistance of a cable when the cable gets older?
Insulation resistance should be approximately one megohm for each 1,000 volts of operating voltage, with a minimum value of one megohm. For example, a motor rated at 2,400 volts should have a minimum insulation resistance of 2.4 megohms.
What is the trace heating or heat tracing?
Heat tracing can be of 2 types: 1] Electrical Heat tracing: 2] Steam Tracing: Electrical heat tracing can be described as an insulated electrical heating cable, which is spiralled around the process fluid pipe( or object that needs to be heated), after which the pipe and tracing is insulated with the appropriate type and thickness of insulation lagging material. In steam tracing, instead of electrical heating cable, small pile is spiralled which carry steam thereby heating the desired object.
What is LV cable insulation resistance acceptance value?
The minimum acceptable insulation resistance value is calculated using the following formula: Rinsulation= (Vrated + 1 ) x (304.8 / L ) Where: Rinsulation is the minimum acceptable insulation resistance value, in mega-ohms; Vrated is the rated voltage of the cable (typically printed on the cable), in kilovolts; and L is the length of the cable, in meters (if the cable length is in feet, replace the number 304.8 with 1000).
What is the relationship between insulation resistance and length of conductor in transformers?
when length is increased insulation resistance of cable is decresed i.e.,R is inversely proportional to L where R is resistance L is length
Are electrical cords and cable wires for computers TV cable boxes insulated?
Yes, of course they are insulated. If they were not the signals would short out and be unusable. If electric power cords were not insulated they would short out and blow the breaker (or worse start a fire)!
