How is a 4 AWG grounded conductor in a flat multiconductor cable identified?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Although this method of identifying a grounded circuit conductor (may be a neutral) is acceptable for sizes larger than 6 AWG conductors in a raceway, it is not acceptable for multiwire cables.
For sizes larger than 6 AWG installed in a raceway, this is what Item 3 of 200.6(B) allows: "At the time of installation, by a distinctive white or gray marking at its terminations. This marking shall encircle the conductor or insulation."
This requirement appears in part (E) of 200.6: "Grounded Conductors of Multiwire Cables. The insulated grounded conductors of a multiconductor cable shall be identified by a continuous white or gray outer finish or by three continuous white stripes on other than green insulation along its entire length.
Multiconductor flat cable 4 AWG or larger shall be permitted to employ an external ridge on the grounded conductor.

What is a cable terminal?
A cable terminal is a fixture designed to be installed in the end of a cable or conductor in order to facilitate the connection.
What is the bare copper conductor found in non metallic - sheathed cable?
The bare copper conductor found in non metallic sheathed cable is the ground wire. On a wire count in a cable set the ground wire is never counted even though it is always there.
What is PDX wire?
This is the most common type of home electrical wire that is installed for general purpose electrical circuits, also known as Type NM or Non-Metallic sheathed cable made up of at least one pair of insulated wire conductors and one bare wire used for the ground conductor. The ground conductor is bonded throughout the home to maintain a contiguous grounded system which originates back at the Main Service Panel.
What is cable size for ceiling fan?
A #14 copper conductor will do very nicely for this type of project.
What size equipment grounding conductor is used with the following sizes of nonmetallic sheathed cable?
hawt
Older hard drives use what kind of conductor IDE conductor ribbon cable?
The correct answer is....80-conductor IDE ribbon cable.
What Are the Different Types of 2 core cable?
2 conductor round cable 2 conductor twisted cable
What is the difference between sheathed and non-sheathed cable?
Cable sheath current is a current induced in the sheath by radio, magnetic or other interference, or a fault condition. The cable sheath should be grounded at one end so that this current flows to ground safely.
How do you translate 'grounded power cord' to Spanish?
cable de alimentación o cable pasacorrientes
What are the two kinds of parallel ATA cables used with hard drives?
The 80-conductor cable and the 40-conductor cable.
Is a microwave cable a conductor?
yes
What is a conductor used to connect equipment or the grounded circuit of a wiring system to a grounding electrode or electrodes?
The conductor used to connect equipment or circuit to an earth electrode is earth bond or in some cases a supplementary bond. This will be generally carried out using a copper tape or an earth cable.
What are the faults in the cable?
Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.
When a conductor cable enters a metal box what must be done in each box for NEC code to be met?
NEC code 314.40(D) requires that all metal boxes have provisions for the attachment of equipment grounding conductor. In other words all metal boxes must be grounded to meet code.
Which media types use copper as a conductor?
Coaxial cable, STP cable, UTP cable
What connects to hot post on auto battery?
Positive (red) cable or cable that goes to the starter NOT grounded to the sheetmetal..
Why using semiconductor protection for HT cable?
In a HT cable there are 2 layers of semiconductor one on the conductor and second on the XLPE insulation. As we know semiconductor behaves as conductor when temperature rises. So when the HT cable is on load its conductor temperature rises due to this the semicon layer which is on conductor behaves like conductor and as a result overall cross section area is increased. now the second semicon layer which is over XLPE on temp rise behaves as conductor and used for dessipating heat out of conductor as the cable heat due to load.
