What is 4160 Volt electrical wire insulation rated for?
You can use an insulation rating 5000 volt to run 4160 volt supply.
What are telephone wires made of?
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.
Why does wiring have rubber around it?
The rubber is insulation; it is to keep the wire from coming in contact with another wire, or grounded equipment, which would result in a short circuit.
What s the meaning of xlpe cable?
It is the chemical components that make up the insulation on some types of wire. Cross-Linked Polyethylene Insulation (XLPE), High Heat Resistant, 90ºC Rating, Wet and Dry Locations.
What is amp rating of 14 gauge wire?
In normal residential use it is 20 Amps. That depends on alot of things such as the wire insulation, ambient temperature, etc. Standard NM 12/2 (Romex or equivalent, which is likely what you are asking as it is the primary type used to wire residential) is rated for 20 amps, 14 gauge is 15 amps, 10 gauge is 30 amps.
The term magnetic wire indicates a wire that has what for insulation?
Magnetic wire has a coating of varnish for an insulation.
What is the purpose of insulation on the electric wire?
So that the living organisms and other wires/metals are not affected by the current in a given wire. In the absence of insulation two wires coming in contact may cause short circuit and also there is a risk of death of the living organisms coming in contact. There is one more reason that insulation minimizes charge leakage from the wire.
What is the action of removing the insulation from wire?
The action of removing insulation for a wire is called stripping.
What are the different kinds of wire insulation?
Wire insulation (I think) is the kind which you put on MDF and stamp it for a key ring in acrylic plastic. Just to say, its just a guess. Bye you lovely love annabel meurier
Electrical wire with clear insulation which wire is hot?
By "clear insulation," I assume you mean the type of wire used in some lamp cords. If so, the hot wire is the one with the smooth (non-ribbed) insulation.
Does copper wire insulate?

What is it called when a wire is coated in plastic to surround the wire are called?
Insulation
What are the function of wire stripper?
They are for stripping the insulation off electrical wire.
Is there a spray on insulation made for bare copper wire?
Not that I know of. When insulation is applied to wire it is extruded so that the insulating material is uniform around the conductor. Without this uniformity the conductors insulation factor would vary and the wire would have to be rated at the lowest reading factor when tested with a high voltage. Even when splicing a wire, the electrical code states that the insulation covering the splice has to be brought up to or surpass the insulation factor that is supplied by the manufacturer of the wire.
