Q:Have a 480 volts 3 phase 16 amp motor. Need 400 ft of extention cord. Is is OK to use a SOOW 10/4 cable, the voltage drop is 2.67%(12 volts). Machine is powerd by a generator that I can run at 500 volts to counter the voltage drop.8/4 cable cost twice as much, but the voltage drop is 1.7%(8 volts).

If you have the ability to increase the voltage to compensate for the volt drop and the cable has sufficient current carrying capacity, then you are fine. The volt drop will cause a little wasted power but nothing compared to cable costs probably. Presumably your boosted voltage generator wont be powering anything else or that will give you problems Edit, Cables are rated in rms voltage

Q:I have a hard drive that has an enclosure is there any way to take an internal 3.5hard drive and convert it to an only usb cable portable hard drive with no power cord?

No. Not a 3.5 hard drive. You can do it with a 2.5 laptop drive because the drive mechanics and electronics require less power. A 3.5 drive requires too much power for USB to provide. Though... In the near future, you will see USB ports that are capable of supplying more power than the standard .5 amps that USB currently provides. So after they come out, you might see it being a possibility then.

Q:Acoustic Audio 10 inch home theatre powered subwoofer use speaker wire or subwoofer cable?

Use a long RCA cable. If you use speaker wire - you have to run wires from the left/right outputs to the sub, then more wire from the sub to the left/right speakers. Then you have to tell your receiver your left/right speakers are LARGE and you do not have a sub to get things to work. A single long RCA cable is simpler. You can even make your own with pre-terminated CATV coax and some F-to-RCA-Male adapters from Radio Shack. Subwoofer signals work fine and do not need any kind of higher end RCA cable.

Q:What is the difference between wdz cable and WDZN cable?

Be careful is right, but it is not necessary to be timid. Need to do so: . ask the district property, if the best road distribution map, read the drawings, you know where the cable, where not. . ask your home decoration of the electrician, he knows the most where your house where there is a wire decoration. . the general wall cabinet installed relatively high, as long as the bottom of the socket to avoid, generally all right.

Q:There are the six pins in the socket and six pins on the cable like on all other XBox i have seen. However a small black bit in-between the two rows of pins stop my cable going in at all. Not sure how what to do as the xbox is from Cash converters and it may be out of warranty. Thanks.

THAT CABLE YOU HAVE ARE FOR THE NEWER VERSIONS OF XBOX360 ....THE OLDER 360'S HAVE JUST THE PINS NO MIDDLE IF U BOUGHT IT USED YOU SHOULD JUST TELL EM TO EXCHANGE THE POWER CABLE OR BUY ANOTHER POWER CABLE FOR OLDER VERSION

Q:Cable 3 (4 × 185 + 1 × 95) What does it mean?

According to Article 22.7.1 of the Electrical Design Code for Civil Buildings JGJ16-. the transmission lines and the electronic information system transmission lines shall be laid separately and shall be shielded when they are close to the laying of them in parallel by the construction conditions. High-voltage cable under normal circumstances is not allowed and weak cable with the ditch laying. If the relevant control cable does need to be with the high-voltage cable ditch, should be laid on both sides of the laying and keep the distance, but also pay attention to control cable shielding measures.

Q:I am constantly just throwing all of our cables into grocery bags or backpacks and nothing ever seems to work well when it comes to setting up for a show. Are there special cases/bags that would work best for transporting XLR, 1/4quot;, and power cables?

you can get little velcro ties for like $3 for 50. learn how to coil cables correctly (most pros use under/over) and then secure them with the velcro strip (I like to keep the velcro at the male end of the XLR cables so it's not danglight around on the mike end) and then they should be kept pretty well organized even if you just throw them in a backpack or something

Q:my friend has a dell that has a btx mobo. the power supply looks like all the other power supplys. will getting a regular power cord at radio shack fit and work with the dell power supplys. the cables that come out of the supply are all the same as usual ones.

You will most likely be fine, but check the power rating. If you look at the back of the PC, just below the power cable install you will see a rating for voltage. The cable should match that voltage. I cannot imagine that any power cable for a PC would be higher or lower than the standard, at least if you are in the US.

Q:can i use this to power a pcie x16 card in a pcie x1 slot

I doubt it will provide full power. You care better off using a PCI-Express x 1 video card, forget about x16...

Q:So i left my xbox on over night (i know i know) and during the night there was either a power outage or surge, cuz all the electronic clocks had been reset. So i went to my xbox, and the light on the power cable box was red and my xbox wouldnt turn on. I havent tried unplugging it yet cuz the wires are behind my tv and a pain in the *** to get to, but i have a feeling this wont help.do i need to get it repaired?

i'd recommend attempting a diverse outlet. Yellow isnfine cuz even as mine is off its yellow. it would properly be eco-friendly once you turn it on. If it really is nevertheless purple i'd say supply xbox a call or get a clean cable. Xbox enables yet not that a lot yet u can attempt
