What type of conductors shall be used for wiring on fixture chains?
The type of wire you are looking for is called lamp cord. It comes in different colours usually to match the fixture. Fixtures hanging from chains use a clear insulation so as to blend in with the fixture chain colour. Remember that the smooth wire of the lamp cord connects to the hot wire and the ribbed wire on the lamp cord connects to the neutral wire in the ceiling junction box.
What happens when you disconnect the wire from the battery?
Disconnecting a wire from a battery would break the circuit. If the battery was powering a bulb, the lamp would go out.
What is a Gone With the Wind style lamp?
Hurricane Lamp
How do you open up a magic lamp in Aladdin?
You rub the lamp.
When was Lamp in the Desert created?
Lamp in the Desert was created in 1922.
What is the minimum wire size for desk lamp cords?
Most lamp wire is parallel #16 conductors.
Where can one find out how to rewire a standard lamp?
eHow is a great resource for topics like this, with articles like "How to Re-Wire a Lamp," "How to Rewire a Lamp with a Rotary Switch," "How to Rewire an Old Lamp," and "How to Wire a Floor Lamp."
What size wire needed to power 100 watt bulb?
In a floor lamp or table lamp a #16 wire is what you need.
What is the lamp black wire with white stripe?
If you are asking about the electrical cord on a lamp, the black wire with the white stripe is the neutral conductor.
Can I use 18 AWG speaker wire to rewire a lamp?
No! Most lamp cords are made with 18 guage wire, some speaker wire is made with 18 guage wire too but the insualtion of the wire is very different. Both wires have insulation for their intended uses. Supplying a lamp with line voltage and supplying a speaker with low voltage are very different. The speaker wire is not meant to carry line voltage and may overheat and or melt.
How do you identify the NEUTRAL wire on a 2 wire very old electrical cord of a goose neck lamp?
The best way to find the neutral wire on any lamp is to ring the wire out. Before there were polarized plugs and receptacles a lamp could be plugged in either way. All new lamps have polarized plugs where the neutral is connected to the shell of the lamp holder and the "hot" wire is connected to the center pin deep in the lamp socket. Back to your goose neck lamp, you will need a meter that reads resistance and use it as a continuity meter. With the lamp unplugged and the lamp's switch in the off position connect one lead of the meter to the shell of the lamp holder. Take the other lead and touch it to one of the plug cap blades. If the meter gives a reading it is that blade that is the neutral wire. If there is no reading then that blade is considered the "hot" wire. If you are changing the plug (cap) out for a new one connect the newly established neutral wire to the silver coloured screw and the newly established "hot" wire to the gold coloured screw. Now when ever and where ever the lamp is plugged into a voltage source the polarity will be correct and the lamp will be much safer to use.
When you are wiring up a lamp what does the grooved wire mean and what does the smooth wire mean?
grooved wire mean earth wire smooth wire mean suply wire
Which is hot ribbed wire or smooth wire?
In North America the neutral has to be identified as such. On a lamp cord the ribbed insulation side is the identification of the neutral wire. The "hot" conductor of the lamp cord is the smooth insulation.No. Screw material is no safe indicator because they would be too easy to swap round.
Do yo connect black wire to smooth wire or ribbed?
Connect the black wire to the smooth wire. The ribbed wire is the identifier for the neutral wire which is connected to the shell of the lamp holder. The smooth wire connects to the center pin in the lamp holder. Using this configuration the hot wire is kept away from your fingers as far as possible when changing out the light bulb.
Is ribbed wire black or white?
The ribbed wire on a lamp cord is the neutral wire. On an extension cord there is no rib but the neutral wire is white in colour.
How do you wire an outside lamp with a four wire cable of blue brown earth and yellow?
You call an electrician.
Why would a neutral wire and a hot wire have continuity?
You could have a short or it could just be that you are reading through a load. Take a lamp and check for continuity at the plug, with a bulb in the lamp you will get continuity, take the bulb out if you still have continuity then you have a short in the wire or the lamp. Same thing happens in the wiring of your house on a larger scale.
