Best Answer

When you refer to a pull box you have to be talking about a conduit system. In a metallic system, no don't have to ground pull boxes. By the fact that it is a metallic system the conduit and associated boxes are already grounded by the connection to the distribution panel. In a PVC conduit system a ground wire has to be pulled so that the load device has a return ground wire to trip the breaker on a ground fault. Pull boxes in a PVC system don't have to be grounded just the last junction box at the load.

How to use a wire pull tester?

A wire pull tester is used to perform wire pull testing, which is also known as bond pull testing. This method is the most common test used to find out the wire strength and it’s quality. A pull tester will measure a wire or bond’s failure based on the pulling force that caused the failure. Here is a step by step guide on how to use a wire pull tester. Step 1: There are many test conditions that can be used to perform a wire pull testing. Choose the double-bond peull testing method, as this test condition is widely used for traditional wire bonded devices. Step 2: Connect or tie one end of the wire to that of the die of the wire pull tester. Step 3: Connect or tie the unused end of the wire to the bonding post. Step 4: Apply the pull hook under the wire. A pull hook is one of the major parts of the wire pull tester, and it is used to apply the upward pulling force on the wire. Step 5: Make sure that the pull hook is placed at the highest point along the loop of the wire. The pulling force must be applied at 90 degrees or perpendicular to the die surface of the wire pull tester. If the die surface is horizontal then the pulling force must be applied vertically. Step 6: Another major part of the wire pull tester is an instrument that is used to measure the force at which the wire or bond breaks. This instrument helps the wire pull tester to measure the pulling force required to break the wire or bond. Record this measured force, also called breaking force, in grams-force. Step 7: It is important that the bond failures are recorded. There may so many reasons for the failure of bond. These reasons may include first bond or ball bond lifting, neck break, midspan wire break, heel break, wedge bond or second bond lifting. bond failure mode should be recorded so that the owner could investigate the reasons why such the failure occurred. First and second failure modes can not be accepted.

What is Copper Grounding Strap?

It is a device that is used to ground vibrating machinery to the ground wire of the device's feeder wire. The strap has extra flexibility that will take the bending and flexing from the machine to the ground terminal. If a wire is used, most times it will stress fracture and break due to the vibration, leaving the device ungrounded.


Why shouldn't you pull on electric cables?

The chance of causing a break in the wire, or damage to the wire covering or coating. Also, it is not that you shouldn't pull on cables as in running electrical conduit in a building, it is common that the electrician has to "Pull"the wires through the conduit. The electrician generally knows how hard he can pull without damaging or chafing the wires.

How do you install a new pull chain light from a wall outlet?

very easy just pull your self a line from the outlet to the location you want to have the pull light fixture installed ,then connect the black wire to the black wire in the outlet white to the white and the copper ground to the ground then on the other end of the wire at the light fixture location connect the black to the copper screw and the white to the silver screw .and that should make it work with pull string .but make sure the circuit is turned off for that outlet location before you do the instillation


What do you do with the ground wire when installing a new thermostat that doesn't have a connection for the ground wire It's a 4 wire Honeywell thermostat Is it ok to not connect the ground wire?

That Thermostat is LOW voltage. IT does not have a ground wire. There is no need for a ground. it only opperates on 24 volts. there may be a green wire but it does not mean it is a ground
