    The document defines an electrical installation as an assembly of devices, fixtures and insulated wires intended to convey and control electricity. It starts at the meter and is supplied from a common source for a specific purpose. Voltage categories include extra low voltage (ELV) and low voltage (LV). Basic insulation requirements apply to switches, safety devices, and wiring to protect people from electric shock, eliminate fire hazards, and prevent excess current leakage. Key safety devices are fuses and circuit breakers. An electrical installation can be compromised at the design, installation, or use stages due to issues like layout, material selection, workmanship, or overloading. For safety and effectiveness, an earthing system must be installed. Cables are

    Questions

    12.Define a cable?
     A ‘‘cable’’ is defined as a length of insulated (solid or stranded), or two or more
    such conductors bundle together, each provide its own insulation.
    13.Explain how cable must conduct electricity.
     Safely
     Efficiently
     Economically
    14.Cables are available in a wide range of
     Sizes
     Types
    15.The insulated conductor are turned?
     It turned in a clockwise direction
    16.Why are core usually covered with an outer sheath
     It is usually cover with a sheath to protect it from corrosion
    17.Explain why insulation plays an important part in electrical insulation.
     It supports and separates electrical installation.
     It protects people from electric shock
     It also prevents leakage currents
     Minimizes the risk of fire
    18.Briefly describe why an insulator will conduct electricity.
     This will happen if the insulation is crack due to age or if too high a voltage is
    applied to the insulator
    19.Define the term stranding
     Stranding is the process by which many smaller conductors are used in place of
    the a single large.
    20.Name the conductor that is widely used.
     Copper
