  2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.

  3. DIP switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIP_switch

    Eight switches offer 256 (2 8) combinations, which is equivalent to one byte. A tri-state type DIP switch can be in one of three positions (+, 0, −) which allows more codes than a binary DIP switch. For example, 8 pole tri-state DIP switches offer 6,561 (3 8) combinations/codes compared to 8 pole binary switches' 256 (2 8) combinations/codes ...

  4. Aerial bundled cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_bundled_cable

    Insulation degrades due to sun exposure, though the critical insulation between the wires is somewhat shielded from the sun. Shorter spans and more poles due to increased weight. Can lead to much longer repair times for installations in hilly areas due to much higher line weights requiring bigger and more specialized equipment to repair.

  5. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

    Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ [1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2]

  6. High-leg delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-leg_delta

    High-leg delta service is supplied in one of two ways. One is by a three-phase transformer (or three single-phase transformers), having four wires coming out of the secondary, the three phases, plus a neutral connected as a center-tap on one of the windings. Another method (the open delta configuration) requires two transformers.

  7. Industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

    The type 15 plug and socket has 3 round pins of 4 mm diameter, plus 2 flat pins (for L2 and L3). It is designed for three phase applications and is rated at 10 A, 250 V/440 V. The socket will also accept types 11 and 12 plugs, and the Europlug. The type 25 plug and socket has 3 rectangular pins, 4 mm x 5 mm, plus 2 flat pins (for L2 and L3).

Overhead wires in depot of Line 6, all trains on Line 6 have pantographs for depot use. Wuhan: Wuhan Metro: Lines 7, 8, 11 and Yangluo Line only Wuxi: Wuxi Metro

  9. Redundancy (engineering) - Wikipedia

    But if they are used in parallel and fail independently, they can provide high availability. Using redundant components can exponentially increase the availability of overall system. [19] For example if each of your hosts has only 50% availability, by using 10 of hosts in parallel, you can achieve 99.9023% availability.
