Improper electrical terminations lead to high ? connections, which in turn lead to electrical system failures.

Improper electrical terminations lead to high resistance connections, which in turn lead to electrical system failures. Incorrect electrical connections can cause fire or other damage to property and can cause damage and traffic.

EXPLANATION:

There are six common errors of wire connection and its solution:

1. Loose Wire Connections at Switches and Outlets

To overcome this problem, it is first necessary to turn off the power to the wall switch, lamp, or suspected outlet. With the power off, you can detach the cover plate and use a torch to carefully inspect the screw terminals inside where the cables are connected. If you find something loose, tighten the screw terminals carefully to the cable; most likely, this will solve the problem.

2. Wire Connections Made with Electrical Tape

To solve the problem, turn off first the power to the circuit. Afterward, detach the electrical tape from the cables and clean them. Check if there is an exact number of open wires showing (for most connectors, it means about 3/4 inches), then join the cables together with a cable nut or other official connectors (now there are push-in connectors that some aces like use).

3. Two or More Wires Under One Screw Terminal

To fix this problem, once again, this maintenance involves first switching off the power. Then, the two offending cables are detached from their screw terminal. Cut a six-inch pigtail cable of the same color as the two cables (use a green pigtail to join two bare copper grounding cables).  

4. Exposed Wires

To solve this problem, switch off the power to the device, then remove the cable and remove the excess cable or remove the additional insulation so that the correct number of cables is exposed. Then, reconnect the cable to the wire nut or screw terminal. Pull the cable a little to make sure they are steadily connected.

5. Loose Connections on Circuit Breaker Terminals

To solve a problem, maintenances on the major service panel must be carried out by a professional electrician. Amateurs should only try this improvement if they are experienced and have knowledge of the electrical system.

6. Faulty Neutral Wire Connections at Circuit Breaker Panels

To solve this problem, the electrician will inspect to validate the neutral cable is sufficiently stripped and properly installed to the neutral bus.

answer; i believe the correct answer to be the parents and primary groups bears most of the responsibility for socialization in the cooley's theory;

this seems to be in the wrong category. but i'll take some free points my dude

posting this in wrong category will result in people seeing it who won't know the answer.
