Insulation failure is a leading cause of electrical fires and system downtime, often occurring silently before any visible ...

National Electrical Code (NEC) Table 310.104(C) is titled “Conductor Application and Insulation Rated 2,001V or Higher.” For MV solid dielectric cables, there are two basic types of insulation: ...

Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

The right shielding for substation wire and cable continues to be a critical factor in enabling substations to become smarter, more sophisticated and more reliable. New sensors, distributed computing, ...

Cables today are manufactured with their wire insulation already applied to them through a process called extrusion. Electrical wires or cables can be insulated with material that doesn’t allow ...

Say “failure analysis,” and most engineers will think of damaged semiconductors or circuit boards. But even basic devices such as transformers, inductors, relays, solenoids, and motors can experience ...

A good copper cable stripper should handle a wide range of wire sizes. Many home and automotive projects use wires between 10 and 20 AWG, so a tool that matches this range offers more flexibility. It ...

Prevent overloading with correct amperage rating ...
