  2. Infinite switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_switch

    Energy regulator of an electric stove with a glass-ceramic hob. 1: Electric contacts (here closed); 2: Bimetal; 3: Heater for Bimetal. An infinite switch, simmerstat, energy regulator or infinite controller is a type of switch that allows variable power output of a heating element of an electric stove. It is called "infinite" because its ...

  3. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  4. Four-wire circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wire_circuit

    In telecommunications, a four-wire circuit is a two-way circuit using two paths so arranged that the respective signals are transmitted in one direction only by one path and in the other direction by the other path. The four-wire circuit gets its name from the fact that is uses four conductors to create two complete electrical circuits, one for ...

  5. Multicore cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicore_cable

    They are often used to simplify the physical setup of a system and provide a neater connection between two pieces of equipment. [9] For example, in sound reinforcement, a multicore cable is often used to connect all the microphones on stage to the mixing console. This is much easier than running many individual cables, which can become messy ...

  6. Resistance wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_wire

    Nichrome, a non-magnetic 80/20 alloy of nickel and chromium, is the most common resistance wire for heating purposes because it has a high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, up to 1,400 °C (2,550 °F). When used as a heating element, resistance wire is usually wound into coils.

  7. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    [3] Thermal fuses are usually found in heat-producing electrical appliances such as coffeemakers and hair dryers . They function as safety devices to disconnect the current to the heating element in case of a malfunction (such as a defective thermostat) that would otherwise allow the temperature to rise to dangerous levels, possibly starting a ...

  8. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable

    Cat 6 cable can be identified by the printing on the side of the cable sheath. [3] Cable types, connector types and cabling topologies are defined by ANSI/TIA-568.. Cat 6 patch cables are normally terminated in 8P8C modular connectors, using either T568A or T568B pin assignments; performance is comparable provided both ends of a cable are terminated identically.

  9. Trace heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating

    Normally, a thermostat is used to energise when it measures temperature falling below a set temperature value - usually between 3 °C and 5 °C and often referred to as the 'setpoint'. The thermostat will de-energise the trace heating when it measures temperature rising past another set temperature value - usually 2 °C higher than the setpoint ...
