2. Electric fence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fence

   Charger for a plus-minus net fence. An electric fence is a barrier that uses electric shocks to deter humans and other animals [note 1] from crossing a boundary. The voltage of the shocks may cause discomfort or death. Most electric fences are used for agricultural purposes and other non-human animal control.

3. Lightning arrester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_arrester

   Powerline worker performs maintenance of a lightning arrester on an electrical transmission tower in New Brunswick, Canada. A lightning arrester (alternative spelling lightning arrestor) (also called lightning isolator) is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power transmission and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and ...

4. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

   The insulators are attached to the crossarms. For an "H"-type wood pole structure, two poles are placed in the ground, then a crossbar is placed on top of these, extending to both sides. The insulators are attached at the ends and in the middle. Lattice tower structures have two common forms. One has a pyramidal base, then a vertical section ...

5. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   Specifically, the heat pump transfers thermal energy using a heat pump and refrigeration cycle, cooling the cool space and warming the warm space. [1] In winter a heat pump can move heat from the cool outdoors to warm a house; the pump may also be designed to move heat from the house to the warmer outdoors in summer.

6. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

   Insulators are characterized in several common classes: Pin insulator - The pin-type insulator is mounted on a pin affixed on the cross-arm of the pole. The insulator has a groove near the top just below the crown. The conductor passes through this groove and is tied to the insulator with annealed wire of the same material as the conductor. Pin ...

7. Liquid dielectric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_dielectric

   A liquid dielectric is a dielectric material in liquid state. Its main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges.Dielectric liquids are used as electrical insulators in high voltage applications, e.g. transformers, capacitors, high voltage cables, and switchgear (namely high voltage switchgear).

8. Insulation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation_system

   Basic insulation is any material added to protect a user from accidental contact with energized parts. Supplemental insulation is rated to withstand 1500 volts AC. Double insulation is a design concept where failure of one insulation system will not expose the user to a shock hazard due to the presence of a second independent layer of insulation.
