  2. Electrical outlet tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_outlet_tester

    A receptacle tester being used to check for some types of improper wiring of an outlet. For this particular tester, proper wiring is indicated by the two yellow lights. The outlet tester checks that each contact in the outlet appears to be connected to the correct wire in the building's electrical wiring. It can identify several common wiring ...

  4. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

    Electrical wiring practices developed in parallel in many countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. [7] As a result, national and regional variations developed and remain in effect. (see National Electrical Code, electrical wiring, electrical wiring in the United Kingdom). Some of these are retained for technical reasons, since the ...

    IEC 60364 Electrical Installations for Buildings is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)'s international standard on electrical installations of buildings.This standard is an attempt to harmonize national wiring standards in an IEC standard and is published in the European Union by CENELEC as "HD 60364".

  6. Test light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_light

    A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a piece of electronic test equipment used to determine the presence of electricity in a piece of equipment under test. A test light is simpler and less costly than a measuring instrument such as a multimeter , and often suffices for checking for the presence of voltage on a conductor.

    Internationally, the NEMA 5-15P plug and NEMA 5-15R receptacle are the basis for the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 60906-2 standard IEC system of plugs and sockets-outlets for household and similar purposes – Part 2: Plugs and socket-outlets 15 A 125 V a.c. and 20 A 125 V a.c. [24]

  8. Grid code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_code

    Typically, a grid code will specify the required behavior of a connected generator during system disturbances. These include voltage regulation , power factor limits and reactive power supply, response to a system fault (e.g. short-circuit ), response to frequency changes on the grid, and requirement to " ride through " short interruptions of ...

  9. In-circuit testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-circuit_testing

    A common form of in-circuit testing uses a bed-of-nails tester.This is a fixture that uses an array of spring-loaded pins known as "pogo pins". When a printed circuit board is aligned with and pressed down onto the bed-of-nails tester, the pins make electrical contact with locations on the circuit board, allowing them to be used as test points for in-circuit testing.
