Is it safe to breathe in the fumes from heated copper wire?
Hot copper wire gives off no fumes.However if you are talking about insulated copper wire, the insulation will give off fumes. Depending on the type of insulation it can be anywhere from totally safe to deadly!
How do you get the insulated paint off of the enameled copper wire?
To remove insulated paint from enameled copper wire, you can use a combination of chemical and mechanical methods. First, try soaking the wire in a solvent like acetone or paint thinner to break down the insulation. If the paint doesn't come off easily, gently scrape it with a utility knife or fine sandpaper, being careful not to damage the copper underneath. Always wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when using solvents.
Where soft drawn copper wire use?
When copper is cooled (at practically any rate) from its molten form to solid form, it naturally has a cubic crystal structure that makes it soft and easily bent. However, whenever the metal is bent, formed, or worked in when in its solid state, changes are made in its crystal structure that cause the metal to become stronger and stiffer. When copper wire is made by the "drawing" process, solid rods of copper are pulled through ever smaller dies (forms) until the desired size is made. This process causes the originally soft copper to become hard. Thus "hard drawn copper wire" is the wire as it naturally used to come off the mill. Nowadays, most copper wire is actually heat treated (at roughly one half its melting point) at the end of the drawing process to make it soft again so that it can be easily handled by electricians and builders.
What wire is required for a 60A sub panel off a 150A main service?
For a 60A sub panel, you would typically use 6 AWG copper wire or 4 AWG aluminum wire to connect it to a 150A main service. Make sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance.
What do you do with third wire when changing light switch?
If the third wire (usually a ground wire) is present, connect it to the green or bare copper wire in the electrical box to properly ground the switch. If the third wire is a neutral wire, it should be capped off with a wire nut and not used for a standard single-pole switch. Make sure to follow proper wiring procedures and consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure.
How do you get copper out of wire?
Generally speaking, the copper is the wire. If it is coated, it can be stripped in small sections, but if you need to get rid of a large amount of plastic insulation, you will have to find some safe way to burn it off. Safe, in this context, means in a place where the fumes ( which are toxic ) won't bother anyone, and the metal can be removed without danger- preferably after it has cooled.
How can you melt plastic off copper wire with out burned it?
One option is to use a heat gun or a hair dryer on a low setting to gently heat the plastic covering the copper wire until it softens and can be peeled off. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes and wear protective gloves to protect your hands from the hot wire. It's important to be cautious and work slowly to avoid burning the wire.

What is the fastest way to strip copper out of plastic?
Burn it off, But not to hot.
Is burning copper wire illegal?
If you burn off the insulation from insulated wire to make clean copper scrap the only problem is that starting that kind of trash fire may not be permitted. It is not the presence of copper itself that would be illegal.
How can I effectively connect aluminum to copper wire using an aluminum to copper wire connector?
To effectively connect aluminum to copper wire using an aluminum to copper wire connector, follow these steps: Strip the insulation off the ends of both the aluminum and copper wires. Insert the stripped ends of the wires into the aluminum to copper wire connector. Use a crimping tool to securely crimp the connector onto the wires. Ensure the connection is tight and secure before using the wires for electrical purposes.
What is a twisty tie made of?
a twist-tie is a small wire with a plastic covering on it. you can actually take off the plastic (if you really want to) and you can see the wire. careful, it can hurt if you poke yourself with it.
Are you supposed to take off the plastic around the wire above the grip on a violin bow?
no
How can you separate water from aqueous copper sulphate?
You can separate water from aqueous copper sulfate by a process called evaporation. Heat the solution to boil off the water, leaving behind solid copper sulfate. The water vapor can be condensed and collected separately.
How can i melt plastic off copper wire?
I am building a house and recently burned a pile of scrap lumber. We found several nicely cleaned copper wires in the ashes and relized we had inadvertently thrown in a couple short lengths of plastic wrapped wiring. It was nicely cleaned and this method might work well for you if you are talking about a small volume of wire. Not very technical, but successful! I think the melting plastic could release harmful vapors so I wouldn't recommend doing this with large volumes of wire without addition research or comments from an expert! Good Luck!

What does boil off mean?
I think you mean 'boil off' not 'off boil' and by this the recipe or person, etc, means to boil off something such as all of the oil in the foods so that it is not greasy when you get the result. ~Singer
Why does recipes for blackcurrant jam tell you to boil the fruit in copper or glass pans not iron pans?
because using the iron pan will give / send off more hydrogen gas than copper / glass
