What is Enameled copper wire?

Enameled copper wire is copper wire coated by a insulating paint usually colored red. The paint is much thin rubber/plastic sleeves that other wires have, yet provide almost the same amount of insulation. Enameled wire is primarily used in the construction of electromagnets since it allows more loops to be packed into a smaller volume.


What size wire is needed for a 100 amp service 400 feet away 120 240 volt underground in PVC conduit?

Depending on what Type of Aluminum conductors you are using, NEC permits 3 #2 Aluminum (XHHW) in a 1" PVC conduit HOWEVER most of us in the field prefer to save the headaches, spend a few more dollars to get 1 1/4". Remember that there are 2 different types of PVC, and even more types of Alum wire all with different ambient temp ratings and applications.... With PVC you'll need to chose between Schedule 40 & Schedule 80. The difference is in the wall thickness and which one you use depends on your application... if exposed (if running up the side of house or building) VS running it underground. This is the tip of the ice burg as far as things to consider when installing any wiring ... Remember Electricians undergo years and years of training as well as schooling so it's not like deciding to skip hiring a painter and doing it yourself.... If you do a bad paint job you'll have runs and uneven finish, which sucks but nothing is really damaged except maybe your pride. if you do a bad wiring job you and your family could die or if your lucky you just lose everything you own including your home in a fire..... So be smart, pay an expert and call in a professional. Skimp on the other projects, spend the money on wiring!

How do you install a mounting plate for a ceiling light?

The mounting plate for a ceiling light is designed to be mounted to a round or octagonal ceiling box. Very often these can be installed in existing structures without too much trouble. Without the box it is a code violation. Splices must be in enclosures and hanging loose in the ceiling doesn't qualify. If you do not have a box in the ceiling, you might consider installing a box ON the ceiling. It would be only 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. Your splices would be safely inside. These boxes are typically used in outside installations and come in white or gray and take paint nicely so no one may ever notice. This type of installation is acceptable if the box is properly mounted.

At what voltage do you need to use double locknuts on Rigid Metal Conduit?

There are no voltage regulations. A rigid conduit system used two locknuts and one bushing at every connection to a junction box unless the box has a hub. One outside the box and the other locknut inside the box. These are tightened against each other to make the connection secure and to scratch the paint on the outside of the box to make continuity of the metallic system. Continuity of the system is a must as this is the return path for any short circuit that might occur. Rigid connections to fittings require no locknuts as the conduit's threaded end screws into the fitting.

How many square feet does one gallon of paint?

Different types of paint have different coverage. The answer will also depend on the the surface to be painted. Porous surfaces will require more paint. A surface with a strong colour that needs to be hidden will require more paint. A surface that is smoothed and well primed will require less. The paint tin should give an indicative answer.

Can you use interior paint outside?

Interior paint is more porous and less resistant to the elements than a paint actually devised to use outside. A flat paint finish or a satin paint finish is better outside, a gloss paint finish can also be used but only sparingly, as it reflects light and may highlight more flaws.
