Which factor does NOT affect the type of wire that will be installed in any electrical device?

Which factor does NOT affect the type of wire that will be installed in any electrical device? Correct Answer Colour Code 

Explanation:

Temperature
  • Selection of wire for any electrical device is normally based on the type of installation, ambient operating temperature, service conditions, type of load served, and other criteria as applicable.
  • For example, in a region where the temperature of surrounding is very high in that region, the sag in the wire is more due to high temperature so for selecting wire in that area we should use ACSR conductor so that sag effect is minimised.

Conductors size
  • While selecting the wire for any device conductor size plays a very important role, as the wire size depends on the current rating of different devices.
  • For example, for a subcircuit, the size of an aluminium wire required is 1.5 mm2, but in the same circuit for copper wire the conductor size required is 1mm2.

Colour Code
  • The colour code is provided in the wire for our simplicity to identify whether it is a phase wire or neutral other than that it does not affect the wire installation to any electrical device.

Whether above or below the ground
  • Wiring insulation is different for overhead and underground system because for underground wiring the maintenance is not as feasible as in overhead wiring.
  • So, it is necessary to select the proper wire depending upon whether it meant to operate above or below the ground.

 

So it does not depend upon upon colour code.

A telephone switchboard 100 pair cable can be made up with either enameled wire or tinned wire. There will be 400 soldered connections. The cost of soldering a connection on the enameled wire will be P 1.65 on the tinned wire, it will be P 1.15. A 100- pair cable made up with enameled wire cost P 0.55 per linear foot and those made up of tinned wire cost P 0.75 per linear foot. Determine the length of cable run in feet so that the cost of each installation would be the same.

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Specialty steel and wire ropes maker Usha Martin's decision to sell one of its core businesses - steelmaking - to prune outstanding debt, marks the rare instance of an Indian corporate borrower meeting its loan obligations through divestment. The slump sale is a milestone in the six-decade history of the Kolkata-based company, whose board on Saturday approved the divestment of its one million ton steel business in favor of Tata Steel for Rs 4,600 crore.  Courses of action: I. Proceeds will be used to ‘first repay existing lenders of the company’. Usha Martin will retain a profitable wire ropes unit as residual business, and has plans to scale it up significantly.  II. As part of the transaction, Usha Martin has entered into a five-year deal with The Tatas for sale of steel at market price to the wire-ropes business.  III. Usha Martin is among the top four wire rope players globally. With oil prices going up and strong trend in demand in Europe, the Ebitda in the wire-ropes business has improved.
