  2. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    The phase shift in Europe is 120°, as is the case with three-phase current. That is why we calculate 130 V × √ 3 = 225 V. A three-phase final step-down transformer is then used. One house gets phases A and B, the next house gets phase B and C, the third house gets phase A and C.

  3. High-leg delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-leg_delta

    The voltages between the three phases are the same in magnitude, however the voltage magnitudes between a particular phase and the neutral vary. The phase-to-neutral voltage of two of the phases will be half of the phase-to-phase voltage. The remaining phase-to-neutral voltage will be √ 3 /2 the phase-to-phase voltage. So if A–B, B–C and ...

  4. Industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

    Semko 17 were 3/4-pin 3-phase connectors, with (4-pin) or without (3-pin) a neutral connector. Earth were provided via the shield. The connectors were available in different sizes, 16 A with rounded corners; 25 A and 63 A were rectangular. These connectors were used mainly in industrial and agricultural installations.

  5. Boiler feedwater pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater_pump

    A duplex steam pump has two sets of steam and water cylinders. They are not physically connected but the steam valves on the first pump are operated by the movement of the second pump's piston rod, and vice versa. The result is that there are no "dead spots" and the pump is always self-starting. [2]

  6. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    The now-deprecated NEMA 10-30 has a neutral pin (at top of photo), but does not have a dedicated safety grounding pin. NEMA 10 connectors are a now deprecated type that had formerly been popular in the United States for use with high-power electric clothes dryers, kitchen ranges, and other high-power equipment. NEMA 14-30R and -50R connectors ...

  7. Control panel (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_panel_(engineering)

    A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system [1] that users can access, such as the control panel of a security system (also called control unit).

  8. Service drop - Wikipedia

    From there they pass through the wall of the house to the electric panel and Main Fuses or Circuit Breakers inside. In North America, the 120/240 V split phase system is used for residential service drops. [3] [4] A pole-mounted single phase distribution transformer usually provides power for one or two residences. The secondary winding of the ...

  9. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    3–5 times rated current I n, e.g. a nominally 10 A device will trip at 30–50 A C 5–10 times I n: D 10–14 times I n: K 8–12 times I n. For the protection of loads that cause frequent short-duration (approximately 400 ms to 2 s) current peaks in normal operation Z 2–3 times I n for durations on the order of tens of seconds.
