  2. Home wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_wiring

    The following home services are supported by discrete wiring systems: Information and communications Entertainment Energy management Security and safety Digital home health Aged and assisted living Intelligent lighting and power In new home construction, wiring for all electrical services can be installed before the walls are finished.

  3. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    Shielding effectiveness, that is, how well a shield reflects or absorbs/suppresses electromagnetic radiation, is affected by the physical properties of the metal. These may include conductivity, solderability, permeability, thickness, and weight. A metal's properties are an important consideration in material selection.

  4. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    In Austria, wires were concealed by embedding a rubber tube in a groove in the wall, plastering over it, then removing the tube and pulling wires through the cavity. [ 15 ] Metal moulding systems, with a flattened oval section consisting of a base strip and a snap-on cap channel, were more costly than open wiring or wooden moulding, but could ...

  5. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

    Depending on the annealing grade, AA-8176 may elongate up to 30% with less springback effect and possesses a higher yield strength (19.8 ksi or 137 MPa, for a cold-worked AA-8076 wire). [citation needed] A home with aluminum wiring installed prior to the mid-1970s (as the stock of pre-1972 aluminum wire was permitted to be used up) likely has ...

  6. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    At a distance x into the line, there is current I(x) travelling through each wire, and there is a voltage difference V(x) between the wires. If the current and voltage come from a single wave (with no reflection), then V ( x ) / I ( x ) = Z 0 , where Z 0 is the characteristic impedance of the line.

  7. Strike zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_zone

    The strike zone is a volume of space, a vertical right pentagonal prism. Its sides are vertical planes extending up from the edges of home plate.The official rules of Major League Baseball define the top of the strike zone as the midpoint between the top of the batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the bottom of the strike zone is at the hollow beneath the kneecap, both ...

  8. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

    Also, comparatively, more copper wire can fit in a given conduit than conductors with lower conductivities. This greater wire fill is a special advantage when a system is rewired or expanded. [17] Copper building wire is compatible with brass and quality plated screws. The wire provides connections that will not corrode or creep.

  9. Utility pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_pole

    If relevant, a red D plate meaning 'Dangerous' and indicating that the pole was structurally unsafe to climb or due to its proximity to other hazards [23] The date on the pole is applied by the manufacturer and refers to the date the pole was "preserved" (treated to withstand the elements).
