Module 10: Conductors, Wires and Cables (Core)
Outcome
Examine how conductors, wires and cables are used in the electrical and electronics industries.
Indicators
| (a) | Demonstrate safe practices when using conductors, wires and cables. |
| (b) | Differentiate between conductors, wires and cables. |
| (c) | Explain why different materials (e.g., copper, aluminum, silver and gold) are used as conductors for different applications. |
| (d) | Explain how insulation affects the amount of current flowing in a conductor. |
| (e) | Review code rules and relevant tables for information about conductors, wires and cables. |
| (f) | Recognize different wire sizes based on American wire gauge (AWG) and circular mil (kcmil) sizing standards. |
| (g) | Use a wire gauge to determine wire sizes. |
| (h) | Compare the characteristics of different types (e.g., NMD, AC 90, Teck, SJOOW and RW90) of common cables. |
| (i) | Explain how line loss and voltage drop affect wire size choice and allowable conductor sizes and ampacities. |
| (j) | Explain the purpose and requirements for bonding conductors. |
| (k) | Demonstrate how to properly strip and terminate common types of wire. |
| (l) | Build extension cords using cord and connector and plug ends. |
