What amp capacity will 8 AWG wire allow?
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 45 amps.
How many amps will a number 2 copper wire hold?
Copper wires do not hold amps, they have a cross sectional area capacity to allow amperage to flow. In the electrical trade this is spoken of as "ampacity" of the wire. It is a combining of the two words amps and capacity. A # 2 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is consecutively rated at 100, 115 and 120 amps.
A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
What size wire needed for 100 amp service 700 feet away?
A 400 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 700 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 80 amps. 100 x 80% = 80 amps. Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 100 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 125 amps. 125 x 80% = 100 amps. A 600 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 700 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?
From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
What amp capacity will 8 AWG wire allow?
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 45 amps.
What material will allow electricity to flow between a battery and light a light bulb?
A conductor - usually copper wire.
Which material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the light bulb?
I guess you mean, between a battery and something else.The generic name for materials which allow an electric current to flow through is "conductor". Specific examples include any metal, graphite, ions in a water solution.
What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the light bulb?
Any conductor like copper or silver or aluminum
What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the lightbulb?
Yes, copper wire is a conductive element and is the most addiquite substance for distribution of electricity known.
How many amps will a number 2 copper wire hold?
Copper wires do not hold amps, they have a cross sectional area capacity to allow amperage to flow. In the electrical trade this is spoken of as "ampacity" of the wire. It is a combining of the two words amps and capacity. A # 2 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is consecutively rated at 100, 115 and 120 amps.
Does the Nec allow grounding electrode conductor to be run in conduit that has other conductors in the conduit and what code section?
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
Will ten gauge wire will allow more current flow than fourteen gauge wire?
Yes. <<>> A #10 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. A #14 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.
What is a pathway for a current?
Any path that will allow charge to move. Usually it means a good conductor like copper or other metals.
Will a copper or steel wire of the same length and thickness allow more current to pass through?
Copper is the better conductor. The only materials that are better conductors than copper are either very expensive (such as gold and silver), or superconductors that only work at cryogenic (supercold) temperatures.
What is a different meaning for conductor?
A conductor can be someone who collects fares on a bus. A conductor can be someone who guides an orchestra. A conductor can help allow the flow of electricity.
What does not allow energy to flow readly?
conductor
