  2. Utility submeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_submeter

    A submetering system typically includes a "master meter", which is owned by the utility supplying the water, electricity, or gas, with overall usage billed directly to the property owner. The property owner or manager then places their own private meters on individual tenant spaces to determine individual usage levels and bill each tenant for ...

  3. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A common application of series circuit in consumer electronics is in batteries, where several cells connected in series are used to obtain a convenient operating voltage. Two disposable zinc cells in series might power a flashlight or remote control at 3 volts; the battery pack for a hand-held power tool might contain a dozen lithium-ion cells ...

  4. Line regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_regulation

    A low line regulation is always preferred. In practice, a well regulated power supply should have a line regulation of at most 0.1%. [1] In the regulator device datasheets the line regulation is expressed as percent change in output with respect to change in input per volt of the output. Mathematically it is expressed as:

  5. Electricity meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_meter

    North American domestic analog (Ferraris disk) electricity meter. Electricity meter with transparent plastic case (Israel) An electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, energy meter, or kilowatt-hour meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device over a time interval.

  6. Electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_measurements

    High-precision laboratory measurements of electrical quantities are used in experiments to determine fundamental physical properties such as the charge of the electron or the speed of light, and in the definition of the units for electrical measurements, with precision in some cases on the order of a few parts per million. Less precise ...

  7. Work (electric field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(electric_field)

    The work per unit of charge is defined as the movement of negligible test charge between two points, and is expressed as the difference in electric potential at those points. The work can be done, for example, by generators , ( electrochemical cells ) or thermocouples generating an electromotive force .

  8. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    In power engineering, a single-line diagram (SLD), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1] [2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...

  9. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

    Single-wire earth return (SWER) or single-wire ground return is a single-wire transmission line which supplies single-phase electric power from an electrical grid to remote areas at lowest cost. The earth (or sometimes a body of water) is used as the return path for the current, to avoid the need for a second wire (or neutral wire ) to act as a ...
