  3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

    The resistance of copper wire is approximately ⁠ 1 ohms / 1000 feet ⁠ for 10 AWG, ⁠ 10 ohms / 1000 feet ⁠ for 20 AWG, ⁠ 100 ohms / 1000 feet ⁠ for 30 AWG, and so on. [ 5 ] : 27 Because aluminum wire has a conductivity of approximately 61% of copper, an aluminum wire has nearly the same resistance as a 2 size thinner copper wire ...

  4. Ampacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampacity

    [1] [2] [3] The ampacity of a conductor depends on its ability to dissipate heat without damage to the conductor or its insulation. This is a function of the insulation temperature rating, the electrical resistance of the conductor material, the ambient temperature, and the ability of the insulated conductor to dissipate heat to the surroundings.

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

    Earthing systems. v. t. e. Knob-and-tube wiring (sometimes abbreviated K&T) is an early standardized method of electrical wiring in buildings, in common use in North America from about 1880 to the 1930s. [1][2] It consisted of single-insulated copper conductors run within wall or ceiling cavities, passing through joist and stud drill-holes via ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_and_earth

    'Twin and Earth' electrical cable to British Standard 6004, with twin 6 mm² conductors and uninsulated 2.5 mm² earth continuity conductor. Twin and earth (often written "T&E" and sometimes "T and E") cable is a colloquial name in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other countries for a type of flat sheathed fixed mains electricity cable, containing two insulated current-carrying conductors ...

    An extended specification, THWN-2 permits use in wet locations and conductor temperatures up to 90°C simultaneously. [ 18 ] There are additional restrictions on such wire's use not mentioned here (for example, neither THHN nor THWN may be exposed to sunlight, or directly buried in the ground [ 20 ] ); see the NEC for details.

  8. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    The ampere (/ ˈæmpɛər / AM-pair, US: / ˈæmpɪər / AM-peer; [1][2][3] symbol: A), [4] often shortened to amp, [5] is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). One ampere is equal to 1 coulomb (C) moving past a point per second. [6][7][8] It is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie ...

  9. Audio power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power

    Audio power. Audio power is the electrical power transferred from an audio amplifier to a loudspeaker, measured in watts. The electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker, together with its efficiency, determines the sound power generated (with the rest of the electrical power being converted to heat). Amplifiers are limited in the electrical ...
