What is the difference in wire gauge size?

Heavier wires do not necessarily mean better sound. Typically, 18 or 16 guage wire is sufficient for home audio systems. If you are going to be running extremely long distances, say 100 feet or more, then increase the gauge size to like 14 or 12 to keep from losing too much audio signal. In a car, 18 guage wire should be quite sufficient.


What does 200uAmps mean?

IT IS READ AS 200 MICRO-AMPERE OR 200 DIVIDED BY 1,000,000,000=0.0002 AMPS.


How do I determine how many amps I need for a 3PH 10HP motor with 208 voltage?

First and foremost is the information the manufacturer puts on the nameplate of the motor. Second, the generic amperage can be found on motor charts that are on the Internet. Third you can use a formula to find the approximate amperage. HP = Amps x Volts x 1.73 x pf/746. Transposed for Amperage, Amps = HP x 746/Volts x 1.73 x pf. Use pf = .9 Amps = 10 x 746/ 208 x 1.73 x .9 = 7460/323.85 = 23.03 amps. See how much easier it is to read the nameplate.


Can the Craftsman 73755 amp meter take accurate ac amp readings without separating the hot and neutral wires as the older catalogs stated?

A clamped- or forked-type ammeter can only measure the amps in one conductor at a time. Using it as you suggest would get a reading of 0 amps. This is because the reading of one conductor's amps cancels the other conductor's amps. Ammeters of this type actually measure the rise and fall of the magnetic field produced by the AC current. Since electrons in one conductor are moving the opposite direction of the other conductor, the magnetic fields cancel each other. On DC circuits, since there is no rise and fall of the magnetic field, it is constant, these type ammeters always read 0 amps on DC current.


What should a ohm meter read if a circuit is open?

Infinity.
