We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The columns headed B apply to runs of conduit which deflect from the straight by an angle of more than 150. Abstracted by courtesy of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. TABLE OF WIRE FUSES. Current Rating Tinned Copper Wire S.W.G. Standard Alloy Wire S.W.G. 1-8 27 3-0 38 23 5-0 35 21 8-5 30 100 29 150 25 17 24 20 23 24 22 30 21 37 19 46 18 53 18 60 17 64 17 83 15 100 14 The current ratings given above refer to the normal maximum current of the circuit, and do not refer to the overload at which the cut-out will operate. The full normal load on a fuse should be two-thirds of its fusing load. For arcs, use copper fuses rated at double normal current to allow for striking. On motor circuits the allowance will depend upon the starting current. Allow 50 to 100 per cent, for D.C. motors or A.C. repulsioninduction motors, four times for wound induction motors, six to eight times for squirrel-cage. On 3 -phase motor circuits always fuse heavily.
