Why do telegraph wires sag more in summer than in winter?
Sagging Power LinesIn the summer, power lines warm up with the weather. Since materials expand when they get warm, the power lines stretch out and sag. The opposite happens in the winter, as the power lines get colder, they contract. Also, in the summer the electrical load on the line is generally greater. This in turn causes increased temperature and can lead to the line sagging.
How does a pylon work?
A pylon holds up the wires carrying electricity. If there were no pylons the wires would drag onto the floor and if you were to tread on them you would get electrocuted by the wires.
Why do wires often have plastic wrapped around them?
Well plastic is a insulator which causes the electrons (also known as electricity) to stay in place. So wires are electrical conductors which means electrons to flow through it and since humans are "fair" electrical conductors it will cause us to get shocked from the electrical charges. Understand? :)
What do yellow wires within an electric panel indicate?
Some facilities use the UL color coding that a Yellow or Orange wire in an Electrical Panel shows the source power is not fed from the disconnect on the local Panel. These wires in your panel may be fed with a second power source and may be Live when the local disconnect is Off.
Where can you get wiring diagrams for the radio system on a 2001 Echo with a 1.5 and for a Kenwood CD deck?
There are three plugs in the back of an Echo radio. Before I blew the fuse, this is what I had figured out. The black one, of course, is the antenna. The other two plugs are white(5 wires) and blue(8 wires). The white plug is mainly speaker wires. The blue plug has speaker wires and the power and ground wires. White plug: Black and Gold wires --- right speaker(not sure front or back) Red and White wires --- left speaker(not sure front or back) (Not sure about the white/green striped wire) Blue plug: Purple and Pink wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) Green and teal wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) (Not sure about the green wire) Power in blue plug: Grey wire --- Main power(thru ignition) Teal/yellow striped wire --- Accesary power(constant for stations or clock, etc...) White/black striped wire --- Ground As far as the Kenwood, I don't know. That's the wiring, now if anyone can tell me where the fuse is, I would be ever so appreciative. [Fuse box is located below the steering wheel and to the left, in a storage compartment, you must pull back the plastic cover labled "fuse" and the diagram is on the back of that cover. The ACC fuse is for the radio & cig lighter power.]
How is electricity transmitted along power lines?
trougth wires
What lines delivers electricity to you home?
A power company thyough their mains wires.
Is it normal for power lines to buzz?
Yes, it is normal for power lines to produce a buzzing sound due to the electromagnetic fields created by the flow of electricity through the wires.
Does electricity travel outside electric powerlines?
Electricity generally travels through conductive materials, such as wires in electric power lines, to reach its destination. It cannot travel freely outside of these materials without a complete circuit. If there is a path of lesser resistance outside the power lines, the electricity may arc or jump to that path, which can be dangerous and result in power outages or accidents.
How does electricity get from a power plant to your home?
Electricity generated at a power plant is transmitted through high-voltage power lines to substations. At the substations, the voltage is reduced for distribution to homes through local power lines. The electricity enters your home through the meter and electrical panel.
How does the hydroelectric power get to your homes?
After generating electricity at a hydroelectric power plant, the electricity is transmitted through high-voltage power lines to substations. Transformers then lower the voltage for distribution through power lines to homes and businesses. The electricity finally enters homes through the electrical wiring to power appliances and devices.
What is meant by over head lines?
Overhead lines refer to electrical power lines that are mounted on poles or towers above ground level. These lines are used to transmit electricity from power plants to homes, businesses, and other buildings. Overhead lines are a common method of distributing electricity in many regions.
Where you get your electricity from and how your electricity is produced?
your electricity in your home comes from wires under ground or on power lines. it comes from the power company that gets it from wind, solar, nuclear, hydroelectic dams, or from burning coal.
How is hydroelectric power transferred around?
Electricity is transmitted through wires. The hydroelectric plant sends electricity through giant wires to a series of transformers. Transformers are devices that change electricity from high voltage to low voltage, and vice versa. The wires are connected to every part of the country.
Why do you have internet and telephones when the power lines are down?
Power lines and phone lines though using the same utility poles are two different sets of wires. Telephone wires carry their own power, separate from the power lines and are insulted while power lines are not. If the telephone wires are unbroken but laying on the ground the wires will not short to ground while an unbroken uninsulated power line will short to ground disrupting service.
Which is a network of wires that carries electricity?
the power grid
How does electricity get from power plant to your home?
through wires
