  2. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    Diagram of a simple electrical cable with three insulated conductors, with IEC colour scheme. About 1950, PVC insulation and jackets were introduced, especially for residential wiring. About the same time, single conductors with a thinner PVC insulation and a thin nylon jacket (e.g. US Type THN, THHN, etc.) became common. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    Ceramic cleats, which were block-shaped pieces, served a purpose similar to that of the knobs except that cleats were generally used in places where the wiring was surface mounted. Not all knob and tube installations utilized cleats. Ceramic bushings protected each wire entering a metal device box, when such an enclosure was used.

    NEMA 5-15P plug and NEMA 5-15R receptacle (different scales, blade spacing is 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) for both.) Each receptacle also accepts an ungrounded plug, whether polarized or unpolarized. Typical 5-15R residential receptacle 5-20R T-slot receptacle mounted with the hole for the ground pin at the top. The neutral connection is the wider T ...

    AC power plugs are also commonly circular, for example, Schuko plugs and IEC 60309. NMEA 2000 cabling using M12 connectors. The M12 connector, specified in IEC 61076-2-101, is a circular electrical plug/receptacle pair with 12mm OD mating threads, used in NMEA 2000, DeviceNet, IO-Link, some kinds of Industrial Ethernet, etc. [16] [17]

  6. SMEMA - Wikipedia

    The communication only goes sequentially, as there is no addressing. Instead the machine's SMEMA cables connect to each other's upstream or downstream plug. The plugs and wires are multimate connectors and receptacles consisting of 14 wire connections. However, only 4 wires are used for data, while the 8th pin connection is the shielding.

  7. Electrical outlet tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_outlet_tester

    A receptacle tester being used to check for some types of improper wiring of an outlet. For this particular tester, proper wiring is indicated by the two yellow lights. The outlet tester checks that each contact in the outlet appears to be connected to the correct wire in the building's electrical wiring .

  8. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

    FMT is a raceway, but not a conduit and is described in a separate NEC Article 360. It only comes in 1/2" & 3/4" trade sizes, whereas FMC is sized 1/2" ~ 4" trade sizes. NEC 360.2 describes it as: "A raceway that is circular in cross section, flexible, metallic and liquidtight without a nonmetallic jacket."
