  2. Continuity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_test

    In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker ) across the chosen path.

  3. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    A schematic representation of long distance electric power transmission. From left to right: G=generator, U=step-up transformer, V=voltage at beginning of transmission line, Pt=power entering transmission line, I=current in wires, R=total resistance in wires, Pw=power lost in transmission line, Pe=power reaching the end of the transmission line, D=step-down transformer, C=consumers.

    The condenser is the hot side of an air conditioner or heat pump. Condensers are heat exchangers, and can transfer heat to air or to an intermediate fluid (such as water or an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol) to carry heat to a distant sink, such as ground (earth sink), a body of water, or air (as with cooling towers). constant air volume

  5. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

    A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

  6. Classification of discontinuities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of...

    The term removable discontinuity is sometimes broadened to include a removable singularity, in which the limits in both directions exist and are equal, while the function is undefined at the point . [a] This use is an abuse of terminology because continuity and discontinuity of a function are concepts defined only for points in the function's ...

  7. Continuity tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_tester

    Entry-level cable testers are essentially continuity testers. A continuity tester is an item of electrical test equipment used to determine if an electrical path can be established between two points; [1] that is if an electrical circuit can be made. The circuit under test is completely de-energized prior to connecting the apparatus. [1]

    The AC unit temporarily becomes thing of the past but that doesn't mean it's long forgotten. Within a few months, you'll be needing the cooler temperatures when the weather turns back hot, so what ...

  9. Mercury relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_relay

    Normally closed mercury relay, with coil around top of tube and adjustable angle. A mercury relay (mercury displacement relay, mercury contactor) is a relay that uses mercury as the switching element.
