  2. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Galvanized mild steel cable ladder with corrosion around stainless steel bolts. All metals can be classified into a galvanic series representing the electrical potential they develop in a given electrolyte against a standard reference electrode. The relative position of two metals on such a series gives a good indication of which metal is more ...

  3. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    A hunk of copper is visible that is designed to be easily connected or disconnected from its place between two screws, rated for 600 A (as stamped on it). We also see the thick wires in standard colors (two yellow/green ground and two blue neutral), as well as markings PEN (protected earth and neutral), PE (protective earth) and N (neutral).

  4. Safety wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_wire

    A safety wire is used to ensure proper security for a fastener. The wire needed is long enough to reach from a fixed location to a hole in the removable fastener, such as a pin — a clevis fastener, sometimes a linchpin or hitch-pin through a clevis yoke for instance — and the wire pulled back upon itself, parallel to its other end, then twisted, a single end inserted through a fastener ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    [1] [2] [3] For example, if a 1 m 3 solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity (or specific conductance) is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It represents a material's ability to conduct ...

  7. Tip and ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_and_ring

    The voltage at a subscriber's network interface is typically 48 V between the ring and tip wires, with tip near ground (slightly negative relative to ground) and ring at −48 V relative to tip. In the middle 20th century, long loops in many rural areas of North America used range extenders, which operated at 100 or 130 volts to ensure reliable ...

  9. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    is the length from to a fixed point M on the conductor, ε 0 {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{0}} is the vacuum permittivity . Using this method, the self capacitance of a conducting sphere of radius R {\textstyle R} in free space (i.e. far away from any other charge distributions) is: [ 2 ] C = 4 π ε 0 R . {\displaystyle C=4\pi \varepsilon _{0}R.}
