If a wire has insulation that allows it to operate in a temperature of up 194 degrees Fahrenheit what temperature will the wire operate up to in degrees Celsius?
90 Degrees Celsius
If a wire has insulation that allows it to operate in a temperature of up to 194 degrees Fahrenheit what temperature will the wire operate uopt to in degrees celsius?
Use the formula: C = (5/9)(F-32) The answer is 90 degrees Celsius.
How do you change over to HEI distributor from points?
It's a fairly simple procedure. The biggest thing you have to do is run a 10-12 gauge wire to the hot side of the coil in the distributor. The original small wire to your coil isn't heavy enough. Just make sure to wire to something that is hot only when the key is turned on. Other than that, run the vacuum advance of the HEI to a ported vacuum....not the manifold vacuum that the point style uses. Basically any vacuum port on the carb that is above the base plate.
What is 12-4 wire?

How can you tell if you have a 240v cooktop No sticker on the old cooktop and new one requires 240. Fuse panel says 120v240v AC?
Does it have a big heavy wire, like your electric dryer, or a little light wire like your refrigerator. All electric cooktops that I know of are 240V. I have never seen one that is 120V.
How do you switch the voltage requirement for a cooktop from 208 volts to 110volts?
You don't. The cook top was designed to operate on 208 volts. This is the voltage needed to get the elements up to their rated wattage to do the cooking. Higher wattage appliances do not operate on the lower voltage because of the size of the wire that is needed to feed the appliance.
Is 10'2 wire heavy enough for an electric stove?
If the stove is rated for 30 amps then 10 wire would be enough. However if the stove is rated for 40 8 wire would be needed, 50 6 wire
What do I attach the house white neutral wire to if my Maytag electric cooktop has no neutral wire?
Just cap the white wire off and fold it up in the back of the box, out of the way.
Can you wire a 120V stove fan to the 240V supply?
Yes it can. But leave this work to a qualified electrician. The consequences of doing this improperly range from failure of the cooktop to work, to damage to the cooktop, to an electrical fire, to injury or death due to electrocution. The hazards cannot be stated strongly enough.
What is heavy copper wire used for?
Heavy copper wire is used for heavy current loads.
Can you connect a bare wire from the cooktop to a green wire in a box?
Green and bare are both grounds and can be connected. To double check you could use an Ohm meter and make sure the green wire is connected to the cook-top chassis.
If a wire has insulation that allows it to operate in a temperature of up 194 degrees Fahrenheit what temperature will the wire operate up to in degrees Celsius?
90 Degrees Celsius
Why tungsten metal wire is not used in heater?
A heater does not get hot enough to benefit from the expense of using tungsten wire. Most heaters use either wire made of an alloy called nichrome or plated ceramic heating elements. Heaters generally operate at red or orange heat (i.e. 1409F to 1908F) and can use nichrome wire. Lightbulbs operate at white heat (i.e. greater than 2309F) and use tungsten wire, but tungsten is hard and expensive to make into wire compared to softer metals.
Have 240v 30amp breaker need to connect a 240volt 40 amp cooktop can you do this I have a 103 600volt wire the cooktop power supply requires 240volt 4 wire 60 hz?
Yes you can. As long as you don't use 40 amps. The 30 amp breaker may kick off if you use all things at once. So you are well protected but not up to code. The 4th wire required for the new stove is probably a ground fault wire. So run a new cable or cook slower.
How do you connect a 240 v cooktop with 4 wires to a service panel with 3 wires?
The new cooktop has a 4 wire connection. Red & Black are hot. White is neutral, and green is ground. You existing panel is wired with 3 wires. Black & Red are hot and green is ground. There is no neutral wire. Connect the black to black, red to red, and then connect the white and ground together at the plug.
Why two different 30 amp cooktops wont work on a double pole 30 amp breaker using 10 4 wire One 4 wire cooktop only has fan working other 3 wire cooktop does not work at all?
So many variables not presented here. 1) Was it wired by a journeyman electrician? 2) IS the name plate rating as to voltage correct for the circuit supplying it? 3) Is it used or new equipment? Try to give as much info as possible? Once you get them working, one 30 amp 2 pole breaker will not adequately supply two 30 amp cooktops. The breaker will trip. If you intend to operate both at the same time, they need to be on separate 30 amp circuits or one 60 amp circuit which would require larger wire
