allspec33351 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Has anybody got any information on this type of wire. As always thanks. Captain Download Attachment: Picture016.jpg 34 KB Download Attachment: Picture015.jpg 32.84 KB
Chad Fabry Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Mitchell, Are you sure the wire looks like that or did the installer divide it, and wind it to put it in the terminal? I've seen wire like that but it's always been on my welders.
RobC Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Not necessarily the wire itself but the installation is questionable. If I had to guess at the kind of wire, I'd say it was braided extension cord wire.
allspec33351 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Posted March 31, 2004 I don't know. It looked like 2 distinct wires covered by insulation. Both the hot and neutral are the same. Captain
RobC Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Brainded is the incorrect term here, what I meant was stranded. Did the wire have any markings on it and do you have a picture of it?
Robert E Lee Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 In any case the wire is larger than what was designed for the breaker, I would call it out for an electrician to evaluate.
