What else can I help you with?
On a 110 voltage circuit where the white wire is common the black wire is normally?
The voltage potential supplying conductor.
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
How many ground wire for a multi wire circuit?
A multi-wire circuit requires only one equipment grounding conductor for the entire circuit. Each branch circuit within the multi-wire setup shares this one ground wire as it connects to the main grounding point.
An open circuit results when a hot wire touches ground?
An open circuit occurs when there is a break in the electrical path, cutting off the flow of current. When a hot wire touches ground, it can create a short circuit where current flows directly to ground instead of through the intended circuit, leading to potential danger and damage to the equipment.
Why are there 3 pins to the plug?
Because the mains supply has three wires. The Live wire (brown) is the power from the mains. The Neutral (blue) is the return to the mains (completing the circuit). The Earth (green/yellow stripe) - is the 'safety trip'.
What is the relationship between electric potential and a wire in an electrical circuit?
The electric potential in a wire in an electrical circuit is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge. As the wire carries current, the electric potential decreases along the wire due to the resistance of the wire. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that the electric potential difference across a wire is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and inversely proportional to the resistance of the wire.
What is the voltage reading of positive wire in 110V dc circuit?
You should be asking, 'What is the potential reading of a positive wire....?', as 'voltage' means 'potential difference' and you can't have a potential difference on a wire! The positive wire has a potential of +110 V with respect to the negative wire.Read more: What_is_the_voltage_reading_of_positive_wire_in_110V_dc
Why is the switch for an appliance always placed in the live wire?
If a switch was on the neutral wire the live wire would still be at the mains potential even when the switch was off. This would cause on en electric shock when one handles any conductor linked to the live wire
What causes wire to overheat in a high voltage circuit Is it unequal potential?
It's the current flowing in a wire that causes it to overheat.
On a 110 voltage circuit where the white wire is common the black wire is normally?
The voltage potential supplying conductor.
What is the maximum wire amps capacity for the electrical circuit in question?
The maximum wire amps capacity for the electrical circuit is determined by the wire gauge and the circuit's voltage and amperage requirements. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a qualified electrician to ensure the wire is properly sized for the circuit to prevent overheating and potential hazards.
Does the neutral wire have a charge in a gfci circuit breaker?
No. Not if the GFCI is wired correctly. The neutral wire should always be cold, or at ground potential.
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
What part does a piece of wire play in an electrical circuit?
It is the component that brings the potential in the form of voltage to the load.
How do you calculate appropriate circuit breaker in the circuit for ac voltages?
It is depending on : whether the ac power is 110 or 220 v , length of wire/cable from mains to CB(circuit breaker),diameter of wire/cable consumption of circuit ( How much watts the circuit consume) i.e load .. don't forget this relation I=V/R . where I= current (amps) , V=voltage & R= resistance also I=P/V where P is power in watts . note that less voltage or thinner wire may affect the real rating of CB
What is the purpose of using 3 different colour wires in an electric iron?
The live (blue) wire delivers the power from the mains into the iron's circuit. The neutral (brown) is the return path back to the mains (electricity needs a closed circuit to flow). The earth (green/yellow stripe) wire is a safety device in case anything goes wrong with the wiring in the iron to cause a short circuit. It delivers the power along the earth wire into the ground instead of it going through the user.The Iron would work without the earth wire being connected but the user would be at risk of electric shock if the iron developed a fault or the wires came loose.
