    In both those instances the white wire should be identified as being hot, usually with black tape inside junction boxes. The neutral wire is identified by gray or white insulated wire, perhaps using stripes or markings. With lamp cord wire the ribbed wire is the neutral, and the smooth wire is the hot. NEC 2008 400.22(f) allows surface marking ...

  3. Carrier current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_current

    However, electrical wiring is a very inefficient antenna, and this results in a transmitted effective radiated power of less than one watt, and the distance over which signals can be picked up is usually less than 60 meters (200 feet) from the wires. Transmission sound quality can be good, although it sometimes includes the low-frequency mains ...

    In many new homes, the location of the electrical switchboard is on the outside of the external wall of the garage. How services are connected will vary depending on the service provider and location of the home. The following home services are supported by discrete wiring systems [2] Information and communications; Entertainment; Energy management

  5. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

    The voltage and frequency of electric power differs between regions. In much of the world, a voltage (nominally) of 230 volts and frequency of 50 Hz is used. In North America, the most common combination is 120 V and a frequency of 60 Hz. Other combinations exist, for example, 230 V at 60 Hz.

    Voltage/Frequency map: Different shades of the colors for slightly differing voltages (approx. 220, 230, 240 volts or 110, 120 or 127 volts) I hope any further removal of these maps in favor of the old ones includes equally good reasons. (By the way, in case you find mistakes in one of the maps you can always use my discussion page.)

  7. Radio beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_beacon

    In navigation, a radio beacon or radiobeacon is a kind of beacon, a device that marks a fixed location and allows direction-finding equipment to find relative bearing. But instead of employing visible light, radio beacons transmit electromagnetic radiation in the radio wave band. They are used for direction-finding systems on ships, aircraft ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_locating_system

    Wireless RTLS tags are attached to objects or worn by people, and in most RTLS, fixed reference points receive wireless signals from tags to determine their location. [1] Examples of real-time locating systems include tracking automobiles through an assembly line , locating pallets of merchandise in a warehouse, or finding medical equipment in ...

  9. AN/URC-117 Ground Wave Emergency Network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/URC-117_Ground_Wave...

    The network was conceived as an array of approximately 240 radio transceivers distributed across the continental USA which operated in the Low frequency (LF) radio band. Analysis showed that low-frequency (150-190 kilohertz) radio transmissions were largely unaffected by high-altitude EMP, and the Air Force Weapons Laboratory ( Kirtland Air ...
