  2. ARCTIC (ISS Facility) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARCTIC_(ISS_Facility)

    The disassembled ARCTIC-1 unit. The inset images show the corroded thermoelectric elements inside the ARCTIC. Overall horizontal view of the Advanced Thermoelectric Refrigerator/Freezer (ARCTIC) 1 unit installed in Expedite the Processing of Experiments to the Space Station (EXPRESS) Rack 4. Unit connectors and cables are visible.

  3. High-leg delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-leg_delta

    Center-tapped delta transformer Center-tapped delta transformer voltages. High-leg delta service is supplied in one of two ways. One is by a three-phase transformer (or three single-phase transformers), having four wires coming out of the secondary, the three phases, plus a neutral connected as a center-tap on one of the windings.

  4. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    This practice arose from the three-wire system used to supply both 120 volt and 240 volt loads. Because these listed appliances often have components that use either 120, or both 120 and 240 volts, there is often some current on the neutral wire. This differs from the protective grounding wire, which only carries current under fault conditions.

  5. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    All NEMA 6 devices are three-wire grounding devices (hot-hot-ground) used for 208 and 240 V circuits and rated for 250 V maximum, with the 6-15, 6-20 and 6-30 being grounding versions of the 2-15, 2-20 and 2-30, respectively.

  6. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    Single-pole circuit breakers feed 120 V circuits from one of the 120 V buses within the panel, or two-pole circuit breakers feed 240-volt circuits from both buses. 120 V circuits are the most common, and used to power NEMA 1 and NEMA 5 outlets, and most residential and light commercial direct-wired lighting circuits.

  7. Dilution refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_refrigerator

    Finally, the pure 3 He enters the mixing chamber, the coldest area of the device. In the mixing chamber, two phases of the 3 He– 4 He mixture, the concentrated phase (practically 100% 3 He) and the dilute phase (about 6.6% 3 He and 93.4% 4 He), are in equilibrium and separated by a phase boundary

  8. Superconducting wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_wire

    Its disadvantages include the cost of refrigeration of the wires to superconducting temperatures (often requiring cryogens such as liquid nitrogen or liquid helium), the danger of the wire quenching (a sudden loss of superconductivity), the inferior mechanical properties of some superconductors, and the cost of wire materials and construction.

  9. Electrical tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_tape

    The first commercially available version of the tape was sold for use as a wire-harness wrapping. This original electrical tape wasn't black. [5] Tapes formulated for high-temperature were yellow, and later versions were white. Electrically insulating tapes are essential for enhancing functionality and reliability in a wide range of applications.
