Do you wire 12 volt down lights in series or parallel?
Parallel.
What color is the grounding wire in armored cable?
In older types of armored cable a aluminum strip was used as a bonding medium. This strip was wound back over the outside of the sheath and the connector on the end of the cable was used to secure it. Test were made to see how much short circuit current could be handled by this type of installation and it failed usually by burning open and leaving no ground at all. Now all armored cable has a separate, usually bare copper wire, embedded in with the current carrying conductors. This ground wire is now terminated onto a lug found in the junction box or on the device the cable is connected to.
What is the minimum ground wire size for a 20 amp 110 volt circuit?
The ground wire in a two or three conductor #12 cable is a #14 bare ground wire.
How do you connect a 240 volt electric heater It is a baseboard unit the has a black and red internal wire for connection Do you use 12 2 wire or 12 3 wire The thermostat has 2 red 2 black wire?
2 wire (plus ground) is all you need for a 240 volt heater provided there is no 120 volt accessories in the heater such as a built in convenience receptacle. If cable is used, the white wire of the 2 wire cable will be a HOT-LEG even though it is white-this is one of the code exceptions. The size of the guage is dependent on the size of the load and other factors. 12 guage will handle up to 1500 watts generally.
Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?
The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
What is SWA when used to describle an electric cable?
Steel Wire Armored.
What is does PILSWA stand for?
paper insulation steel/wire armored cable
Do you wire 12 volt down lights in series or parallel?
Parallel.
Can you hook up 120 Volt lights and outlets to a 240 Volt cable with no neutral wire available If so how?
Hooking up is something that should not be done with mains electricity because it is dangerous, so consult an electrician about the problem.
What gauge wire do you use on a 6 volt battery?
If you are referring to the main battery cable use 00 guage cable.

What is better plastic or metal cable for rewiring an apartment?
Call your local building inspector. You will probably, because of what this building is, have to use Armored Cable, which has a metal jacket, to wire it.
What is single core armored cable?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic. <><><> Armored cable (BX) is the older version of Metal Clad cable (MC). It was flexible steel covered wire that used the steel as it's Ground. BX was a poor grounding system so it was replaced with MC which looks similar but has a separate Grounding conductor. MC is most often made with aluminum as its cover. Armored cable if used today will refer to MC type wiring. <><><> Some kinds of armored cable are in fact made to a tougher standard than the ordinary soft wire strand types of shielded cable that are used for hooking-up antennas. The 'armor' is actually a thin flexible metal film that better protects the wire or wires inside from damage in high use or high traffic areas. Such kinds of armored cable are also used in radio frequency assemblies in electronic equipment.
What size of cable wire used for 500 kva transformer 240 volt 3 phase?
A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.

What is an armored wire?
A cable with a steel sheath.AnswerArmoured cables are cables designed to by laid underground. An armoured cable is a cable whose conductors are protected from mechanical damage by an outer layer of steel tapes or wire. The armour itself is protected against corrosion by an outer waterproof layer. The steel tape or wire is wound around the cable to maintain its flexibility.
