Q:Why does not the birds stand on the high voltage line

Tip: bending the copper wire when you can use a file in the curl file a small mouth

Q:If you are looking at an automotive electrical wiring chart what symbols would be used to represent the wiring of (1) a throttle actuator (2) a step up coil (3) reed switches (4) a seperate ECU cruise control circuit. In other words, what type of wiring would it be classified as, so that I can find it on a wiring chart? Thanks!

These will all be identified in a repair manualbuy a Haynes manual specific for your vechileavailable at all auto parts stores.about $8.

Q:I have 200 feet of wire run from an electrical box to a electric motor that is not getting enough amps. I am tring not to run a new wire from the breaker box so if I cut the wire a few feet from the box and run a bigger wire say from 10' of 10-2 to 190' of 6-2 will I get less of a drop?

If the motor you are running is 120 Volts, consider getting a new one. A 240V volt load will draw 1/2 the amperage, and save you from replacing the wiring. You'd have to replace the breaker, and means of disconnect, but should save you some of the grunt work.

Q:If I take 5 wires, all with their own insulating sheath, twist the wires on both ends, will this work as if all the wires were in one single sheath? Will the conductivity combine as if it's one wire in one sheath? Note I'm taking about a 1000 foot line one way.

Electrical theory, yes, code compliance no.

Q:Is in a meter, with a plug of the same things, and then passed in and out of the network signal, you can access the Internet, and this thing called what name, probably how far to pass, the new number will not be cut? Question added: the middle is not empty, about 200 meters distance, what to use? More

Therefore, the inverter in the installation of the use of the control circuit must take anti-jamming measures

Q:1)Are the electrical wall outets in your home wired in series of parallel? Explain how you know.2)How do you think the current (I) compares for each of the 3 circuits you built? Is it the same or different? Why? (In class we built a circuit with 2 batteries and a light bulb, then we added another so that we have 2 light bulbs and then another to have 3 light bulbs[those are the 3 circuits])Thanks for all the help!

1: Household outlets are wired in parallel but in a manner similar to series. This means the wires go to each box but at the connection point is the wire to the next box thereby allowing current to flow past any non used outlet. 2: Current would be the increased for each bulb added to the circuit by the amount of power required by the bulb. 3: Like the old christmas light strings you have to unscrew each bulb and replace with a good bulb until you find the bad bulb. Note that in a series circuit when a device fails the entire circuit has no electron flow as the circuit is broken. 4: In a parallel circuit the burnt out light is the only one not lit when power applied to circuit. In a parallel circuit the wiring is connected so that electron flow can bypass any device whether it is on or not or works or not. Therefore each outlet/socket works independent of the others.

Q:how many wires are allowed in a standard outlet box (i believe 3x2 1/2 deep). what do you do if you need more wires than are allowed?how many wires are allowed if i gang 2 boxes?i live in ontario, canada. thanks

In the US by the NEC, it depends on the size of the wires. 14 ga it is 2 cubic inches per conductor. 12 ga it is 2.25, and 10 is 2.5 cubic inches per conductor. Your box is 3 cubic inches if you measured it right so you can only put 1 14 wire in it. Since you seem unsure of what you are trying to do with box fill, call a qualified professional electrician to do the work.

Q:How much would it cost to get the electrical system/wires checked and replaced where needed on a 1987 jeep wrangler. Like new battery cables and such. Primarily in the engine bay since that's where all the dirt and corrosion happens

I just had this done in my honda. It was pretty bad, wires were not expensive its the labor. It only cost me 120 $ for the replacements. So its really not to bad.

Q:i have a basement stairwell with one light at the bottom, switch at the top. I want to make it a 3-way switch with 2 lights. 2 sections lit from either top or bottom of stairs.How to do? the wiring dates from 1954, but there is plenty of amperage left on the fuse formula. Thanks ahead of time.

Hmmmmmmmmm 1954. Is it in pipe or romex or BX(armor cable?) If in pipe, it is most probably cloth and rubber covering. High flamable and very smoky when burned. The more you move it around , the greater the risk of shorting. If you really want to try then use two wires of the same color for runners between the switches, and one wire for hot. take these to the junction you have for the new switch and install. Obviously the odd color goes on the odd color screw. The first switch should be connected with the runners on the same color screws and the wire to the light goes on the odd color. Oh yea, before you start, have a fire extinguisher and an ambulance nearby. Just kidding.

Q:Hi, I am building a greenhouse in my backyard and had a few questions as to how i should wire it. The appliances I will have in the greenhouse include.A 400 watt light.a 115 volt pump, an oscillating fanand a ventilation fanI can't remember the wattage of the two fans. But my question is will I need to run more than one wire out to my greenhouse? The wire I have says its max voltage is 600. any tips and advice would be nice.

That sounds ok to me,as a diy approach.If in doubt,get the local sparky out to check when you have finished,as he will have an R.C.D/earth fault loop impedance tester and can test that it (a)has a decent earth loop at the furthest point of the circuit,and (b) check that the R.C.D will function under certain fault parameters.Better to be safe than sorryshould only cost you 50 Quidish.
