Best Answer

Yes, any flexible conduit that has live wires drawn into it must have a ground wire also installed with the "hot" conductors. The reasoning behind this rule is that the flex in the conduit is coiled and has a long length to it. The continuation of the grounding medium through the tightness of the conduit connectors to the flex was not considered a properly secured grounding system so to overcome this weakness in the grounding system, a ground wire now has to be installed.

What is the point of grounding your house?

All electrical distribution systems require a system earth ground for personnel safety. The ground for your home electrical system is likely a grounding rod, a 10 ft. copper clad steel rod driven into the ground and then bonded with a brass clamp and large bare ground wire to your panel. This provides a path to ground to dissipate errant current which can occur due to a circuit which "shorts out." Better it goes to ground than into you!


How is fractional electric-motor housing made?

This mainly depends on your motorsize, characteristics,applications,according to the sitedesign, there are die casting aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron andgray cast iron andductile ironcasting Materials, aluminum, cast iron( gray iron and ductile iron are very common),steel plate and so on can do stand. Pressingstator, a thermalsleeve having cold after being tightened screws fixed, weldingand so on, but also all kinds of method to have. The base is generally divided into: box, shell and the core shell casting In 1, a boxwith steel plate welding, short cycle,low cost, no standard, no need. 2 casting shell are generally used for small motor.The majority to iron. Aluminum motor shell in general use thermal cover,glue, screws, iron general directly press,screw fastening
