1. Wires come in many different sizes because the proper wire size is critical to any electrical wire
installation. Wire sizing indicates the diameter of the metal conductor of the wire and is based on the
American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. The gauge of a wire relates to the wire's current-carrying capacity,
or how much amperage the wire can safely handle. When choosing the right size of the wire, you must
consider the gauge of the wire, the wire capacity, and what the wire will be used for.

2. The primary purpose for the insulating material used on wires is to prevent accidental contact with
other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those
other conductors.

3. Temperature, voltage, DC resistance of the conductor, insulation, O.D., required flexibility, physical
properties of the conductor (tensile strength, voltage drop, conductivity, weight) should be considered
when you choose wires.

4. AWG stands for American wire gauge. It describes the thickness of a wire, in terms of cross sectional
diameter, or resistance. Since it can be troublesome making calculations each time you want to run
some wire, they make tables which refer to the AWG and tell you how many amps it can handle and
over what distance. This way, you don’t have to think about it and waste time making calculations every
time you want to run wire - you just select a wire with more capacity than you need to use. So we use it
to make our work easier when specifying what wire we want.

5. The advantages of stranded wire are flexibility, heat reduction and better efficiency at high
frequencies (skin effect)

6. If you want more flexibility then you can use stranded wires for electrical purpose as it allows wire
and cable to be manipulated many times without worrying about damage. They are more suitable for
indoor use on circuit boards, speaker cables, electronic devices, etc., where bending and twisting are
required to connect electronic components. The corrosion resistance property of stranded wire is also
better than solid wire. Stranded wire is preferred when it will be put under mechanical stress or
movement.

7. Cable assembly is used to connect various types of systems and equipment to carry out its desired
operation in component and finished product manufacturing. These assemblies are majorly used in
industries such as automotive, computers and peripherals, telecom/datacom, military/aerospace,
industrial, consumer, transportation, medical, instrumentation, business/office, and others.

8. A wiring harness is an organized set of wires, terminals and connectors that run throughout the
entire vehicle and relay information and electric power, thereby playing a critical role in connecting a
variety of components.

9. A wiring diagram is drawn by using symbols, these symbols represent the devices of an electrical
control panel. It shows the wiring between the components the lines represent the wires and they are
marked with numbers or letter number combinations.

10. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections
between the devices. A wiring diagram usually gives information about the relative position and
arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device.
