Was silver ever used in bx wire?
No, silver was never used in BX cable.
What is a BX connector?
A BX connector is a special type of box connector used for securing a BX cable to a junction box. BX is a type of armoured cable that is used for specific locations where ordinary Romex cable could become damaged. Before the connector is installed onto the BX cable there is a small PVC collar to be installed. In the trade it is called an anti short. It slides between the outer sheath of the BX and the conductors inside the sheath. It adds protection for the inner conductors from rubbing against the outer sheath if any vibration is involved in the installation. There is usually a small hole in the BX connector and the red anti short can be seen through this hole. This makes it easy for the electrical inspector to see if the anti short bushing has been installed during an inspection, and they do check.
Is the outer sheath on BX cable an adequate ground path?
It used to be, but now the ground wire (which replaced the aluminum strip) in the BX cable is used. The ground wire is now used to complete the grounding of connected devices rather that the sheath of the BX.
What does bx stand for in bx cable?
Bronx
What does bx mean in electrical terminology?
In electrical terminology, "bx" refers to a type of armored cable commonly used for wiring installations. It is a flexible metal-clad cable that provides mechanical protection and grounding for electrical conductors.
Who is bx cable name after?
BRONX
Where did BX get its name?
The term BX is a trademark owned by GE. The term "BX" is a short form for Bronx because GE had a facility to make the cable.
What is the BX wire function?
The BX wire function refers to the use of BX (or armored) cable in electrical installations. BX cable is characterized by its flexible metal conduit that provides both protection and grounding for the insulated conductors inside. This type of wiring is often used in residential and commercial applications due to its durability and resistance to physical damage. It is particularly beneficial in environments where exposure to moisture or mechanical stress is a concern.
Can bx be used outdoors?
Yes, BX cable, which stands for armored cable, can be used outdoors, but it must be properly installed and protected from the elements. It is not inherently waterproof, so it should be used in conjunction with appropriate fittings and junction boxes that are rated for outdoor use. Additionally, local building codes and regulations should be followed to ensure safety and compliance.
What kind of products does the company BX Cable offer?
BX Cable Company produces a variety of cables made from many different materials and in differing lengths for both the personal and commercial markets.
What is the difference between MC and AC or BX cable?
It is blue and yellow if that is ok.
Is bx cable the ground?
BX cable, or armored cable, is not itself a ground, but it can serve as a grounding path. The metal armor of BX cable provides a level of physical protection and can be connected to the ground system of an electrical installation. However, it is essential to have a separate ground wire within the cable for proper grounding practices, as relying solely on the armor for grounding may not meet code requirements or ensure safety. Always consult local electrical codes for specific grounding requirements.
