What else can I help you with?
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!
Is copper in electrical wiring number one copper?
No, number one copper is used in buss bars. "Number one copper" is a term I am familiar with from recycling copper. It does indeed include buss bars, but also includes any solid wire whose insulation has been removed, or large gauge wire with large strands (as opposed to small gauge stranded wire) whose insulation has been removed. -- Sparkfighter
What is mineral insulated cable?
Mineral insulated cable is a type of electrical cable that consists of a copper conductor surrounded by magnesium oxide insulation and a continuous copper sheath. This construction provides excellent fire resistance and thermal stability, making it suitable for high temperature and hazardous environments. Mineral insulated cables are commonly used in applications where safety and reliability are critical, such as in industrial plants, nuclear facilities, and commercial buildings.
Can hot glue on insulated copper wire affect the current passing through?
In theory it could insulate the copper slightly and if the copper warmed up enough it could cause slight changes in current. If we are not talking about driving the wire to extreme loads, then no.
How big around is copper wire mcm 750?
The diameter of an insulated 750 MCM copper wire is 1.25 inches. The insulated 750 MCM copper wiring has 61 strands and has a weight of 2.7 pounds per foot.
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!
Does insulated copper wire conduct electricity?
Yes, without the insulation on the wire you would have a hard time getting the voltage to the load without a short circuit developing.
What is the advantage of using insulated copper wires in wiring circuits?
Copper is : a good conductor, easy to work, and relatively cheap. And you use the insulation to help avoid shorts.
How can copper be removed from an electric motor?
Take it apart and burn the insulation out, if you can, in a pile of brush. Or you could also take a torch to it and see if that gets the insulation out. If you use flame to melt the copper, beware of toxic fumes from burning rubber and plastic insulation.
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.
What does 350 MCM copper weight per foot?
The bare conductor is about 1.05 lb per foot. Insulated wire weight varies by type of insulation.
Why copper wire insulated in electromagnet?
Copper wire used in electromagnets is insulated to prevent short circuits and to protect the wire from damage due to abrasion or exposure to moisture. Insulation also helps to maintain the efficiency and longevity of the electromagnet by ensuring the electrical current flows properly through the wire.
Is copper in electrical wiring number one copper?
No, number one copper is used in buss bars. "Number one copper" is a term I am familiar with from recycling copper. It does indeed include buss bars, but also includes any solid wire whose insulation has been removed, or large gauge wire with large strands (as opposed to small gauge stranded wire) whose insulation has been removed. -- Sparkfighter
Why does die cast copper parts fetch a higher scrap price than bare wire?
castings made from copper alloy are a higher grade of copper than the copper in wire. Also, the insulation on the copper wire needs to be removed,
What are insulated wires made out of?
Insulated wires are typically made of a conducting material, such as copper or aluminum, surrounded by an insulating material like rubber, PVC, or Teflon. The insulation is essential for protecting against electrical shocks and preventing short circuits.
Is a copper wire a ground wire?
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
How do you use the word insulation in a sentence?
Heavy gloves keep electricians insulated from any live electrical circuits. The snow wall of the igloo insulated the family from the extreme cold outside. An insulated attic will prevent heat loss in the winter.
