  2. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    For instance, instead of 14 AWG (American wire gauge) copper wire, aluminium wiring would need to be 12 AWG on a typical 15 ampere lighting circuit, though local building codes vary. Solid aluminium conductors were originally made in the 1960s from a utility-grade aluminium alloy that had undesirable properties for a building wire, and were ...

    NEC 2008 400.22(f) allows surface marking with ridged, grooves or white stripes on the surface of lamp cord. With transparent cord the hot wire is copper colored, and the neutral is silver colored. Grounding wire of circuit may be bare or identified insulated wire of green or green having yellow stripes. All metallic systems in a building are ...

  4. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    A standard wire gauge. American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Dimensions of the wires are given in ASTM standard B 258. [1]

  5. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    A hunk of copper is visible that is designed to be easily connected or disconnected from its place between two screws, rated for 600 A (as stamped on it). We also see the thick wires in standard colors (two yellow/green ground and two blue neutral), as well as markings PEN (protected earth and neutral), PE (protective earth) and N (neutral).

  6. Distribution board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

    A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.

  7. Busbar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busbar

    Copper busbar in a panel 1500 ampere copper busbars within a power distribution rack for a large building. In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution.

  8. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    The conduit methods were known to be of better quality, but cost significantly more than K&T. [2] In 1909, flexible armored cable cost about twice as much as K&T, and conduit cost about three times the price of K&T. [6] Knob and tube wiring persisted since it allowed owners to wire a building for electricity at lower cost.

  9. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

    An example of a copper alloy conductor is cadmium copper wire, which is used for railroad electrification in North America. [5] In Britain the BPO (later Post Office Telecommunications ) used cadmium copper aerial lines with 1% cadmium for extra strength; for local lines 40 lb/mile (1.3 mm dia) and for toll lines 70 lb/mile (1.7 mm dia).
