Conductor Identification, Notices and Warning Labels

Uploaded by

ALUNYU RONALD

This document discusses wire termination and conductor identification. Wire termination involves stripping the insulation from the end of a wire and attaching a contact or terminal to connect the wire to a device. Conductor identification requires labeling wires with standardized colors or letters according to regulations - for example, single phase AC wires are brown for live and blue for neutral, while three phase wires use brown, black and grey for lines L1, L2 and L3 respectively, with blue for the neutral. Protective conductors must be labeled with a green-yellow color.

TERMINATION

 This is the connection of the wire to a device, such as equipment , panels, or a wall out let which
allows for connecting the cable to other devices.
 A wire termination is the work performed to the ends of the wire which allows it to connect to
the device ( connector, switch , terminals.
 During termination the wire insulation is stripped ,and the contact or the terminal is attached to
the wire
 When we terminate we basically need current to flow through the cable and as well as voltage.
 Current is the flow of electrons in a conductor.
 Voltage is the electrical pressure causing current to flow.
 Resistance is the opposition of the flow of the current in the conductor determined by length,
cross sectional area and temperature
 Power is the product of current and voltage ,hence power =I*V
