  2. Neher–McGrath method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neher–McGrath_method

    J. H. Neher and M. H. McGrath were two electrical engineers who wrote a paper in 1957 about how to calculate the capacity of current (ampacity) of cables. [1] The paper described two-dimensional highly symmetric simplified calculations which have formed the basis for many cable application guidelines and regulations.

  3. Tandem rolling mill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_rolling_mill

    Sketch showing a payoff reel (un-coiler), an entry bridle, 2 stands, an exit bridle, and a coiler (tension reel). A tandem rolling mill is a rolling mill used to produce wire and sheet metal. It is composed of two or more close-coupled [ clarification needed ] stands, and uses tension between the stands as well as compressive force from work ...

  4. Cable reel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_reel

    A cable reel is a round, drum-shaped object such as a spool used to carry various types of electrical wires. [1] Cable reels, which can also be termed as drums, have been used for many years to transport electric cables, fiber optic cables [2] and wire products. Cable reels usually come in four different types, each with their own uses: wood ...

  5. Reel - Wikipedia

    A 250 V 16 A electrical wire on a reel An irrigation reel with travelling sprinkler. A reel is a tool used to store elongated and flexible objects (e.g. yarns/cords, ribbons, cables, hoses, etc.) by wrapping the material around a cylindrical core known as a spool.

  6. Wire rope spooling technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope_spooling_technology

    The multilayer wire rope spooling system has undergone continuous refinement over the years and adapted for any application where long lengths of steel wire ropes must be wrapped in multiple layers quickly and smoothly. Examples include: Cranes for construction sites, offshore oil rigs, ports or on board ships; Deep mining

  7. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    A cable reel trailer with conduit that can carry optical fiber Multi-mode optical fiber in an underground service pit. An optical fiber cable consists of a core, cladding, and a buffer (a protective outer coating), in which the cladding guides the light along the core by using the method of total internal reflection.

  8. Electrical length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

    In electrical engineering, electrical length is a dimensionless parameter equal to the physical length of an electrical conductor such as a cable or wire, divided by the wavelength of alternating current at a given frequency traveling through the conductor. [1] [2] [3] In other words, it is the length of the conductor measured in wavelengths.

  9. Hose reel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_reel

    A hose reel is a cylindrical spindle made of either metal, fiberglass, or plastic and is used for storing a hose. The most common styles of hose reels are spring driven (which is self retracting), hand crank, or motor driven. Hose reels are categorized by the diameter and length of the hose they hold, the pressure rating and the
