A common source of unintentional backfeeding is an electrical generator (typically a portable generator) that is improperly connected to a building electrical system.A properly installed electrical generator incorporates the use of a transfer switch or generator interlock kit to ensure the incoming electrical service line is disconnected when the generator is providing power to the building.
Usually, the reverse blocking voltage rating and forward blocking voltage rating are the same. The typical application for symmetrical IGCTs is in current source inverters. IGCTs incapable of blocking reverse voltage are known as asymmetrical IGCT, abbreviated A-IGCT or AGCT. They typically have a reverse breakdown rating in the tens of volts.
In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.
The wire drawing process is quite simple in concept. The wire is prepared by shrinking the beginning of it, by hammering, filing, rolling or swaging, so that it will fit through the die; the wire is then pulled through the die. As the wire is pulled through the die, its volume remains the same, so as the diameter decreases, the length increases.

Some telephone technicians used mnemonic phrases, such as red-right-ring-rear, or ring-right-red-rough, to remember that the red wire connects to the right-side post in the wall jack and to the ring on the plug and to the rear lug on main distribution frames. Sometimes rough or ridge was added for jumper wires with a tactile code. [citation needed]
