    SUPPLY CIRCUIT CONDUCTOR

    (THE HOT WIRE)

    SOME IMPORTANT POINTS:

    Usually copper or aluminum

    All conductors have a resistance to

    current flow The diameter determines the limit of

    current flow

    They must have insulation to keep thecurrent on (or in) the conductor

    SOME IMPORTANT POINTS

    Does nothing by itself

    Has potential to do work

    Potential difference appears between

    two points Is always there

    A pressure or force:

    RESISTANCE(CALLED IMPEDANCE IN AC CIRCUITS)

    (Measured in Ohms) (Opposes Current Flow)

  • 8/8/2019 The Farm Electrical System

    27/38

    SOME IMPORTANT POINTS

    Aluminum wire has more resistancethan a copper wire

    Smaller diameter wires have moreresistance than larger diameter wires

    Longer wires have more resistance

    than shorter wires AC (resistance) impedance is more

    difficult to determine
