What can you use to cut wire?

Can a cut cable wire cause a fire?

If by 'cable wire' you mean Coax cable for the TV, or Internet, then the answer is no. The power/voltages in the cable are way to low to produce a spark which is usually what triggers flame. If by 'cable wire' you mean a cable carrying an electrical service such as 120V or 240V, then, if the cable is damaged by an accidental or deliberate cut which causes a short circuit from a hot phase wire or wires to other wires in the cable - such as to other hot phase wires in a 3-phase circuit, a neutral or a ground wire - then the resulting heavy current could result in the cable becoming very hot and could cause it to catch on fire unless there was some overcurrent protection device to prevent that from happening. That is why fuses and/or circuit breakers should always be included in any electrical service wiring to cut off the supply of current before a fire can be caused by such damage.


Which wires are the live neutral and earth on a Chinese cable where the colours are brown blue and white?

How do you connect red white black and green form USB to a two wire cable having red lack?

You can connect the red wire from the USB cable to the red wire of the two-wire cable. The black wire from the USB cable can be connected to the black wire of the two-wire cable. As for the white and green wires from the USB cable, since the two-wire cable only has a red and black wire, you can leave the white and green wires unconnected as they are not needed in this case. Just make sure to insulate the unused wires properly to avoid any short circuits.

Why extra cable is needed in the wiring process?

Having extra cable at termination points is a good practice to get into. If a wire burns off of a termination point or the wire burns back on itself the whole cable does not have to be changed out. Just cut the wire in the cable back to the undamaged section and reconnect the wire. Without this extra length of cable the consumer will have to under go additional costs should a failure occur.
