  2. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The imaginary part of the exponent indicates that the phase of the current density is delayed 1 radian for each skin depth of penetration. One full wavelength in the conductor requires 2 π skin depths, at which point the current density is attenuated to e −2 π (1.87×10 −3 , or −54.6 dB) of its surface value.

  3. Cable theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_theory

    Later, cable theory with its mathematical derivatives allowed ever more sophisticated neuron models to be explored by workers such as Jack, Rall, Redman, Rinzel, Idan Segev, Tuckwell, Bell, and Iannella. More recently, cable theory has been applied to model electrical activity in bundled neurons in the white matter of the brain. [1]

  4. Penetrant (mechanical, electrical, or structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrant_(mechanical...

    Penetrants, or penetrating items, are the mechanical, electrical or structural items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor, such as pipes, electrical conduits, ducting, electrical cables and cable trays, or structural steel beams and columns. When these items pierce a wall or floor assembly, they create a space between the penetrant ...

  5. High-voltage cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_cable

    High voltage is defined as any voltage over 1000 volts. [3] Those of 2 to 33 kV are usually called medium voltage cables, those over 50 kV high voltage cables.. Modern HV cables have a simple design consisting of a few parts: the conductor, the conductor shield, the insulation, the insulation shield, the metallic shield, and the jacket.

  6. Circuit topology (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_topology_(electrical)

    In particular, for networks which contain only two-terminal devices, circuit topology can be viewed as an application of graph theory. In a network analysis of such a circuit from a topological point of view, the network nodes are the vertices of graph theory, and the network branches are the edges of graph theory.

  7. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    A corona discharge is an electrical discharge caused by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor carrying a high voltage. It represents a local region where the air (or other fluid) has undergone electrical breakdown and become conductive, allowing charge to continuously leak off the conductor into the air.

  8. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

    [10] [11] There are several possible reasons why these connections failed. The two main reasons were improper installations (poor workmanship) and the differences in the coefficient of expansion between aluminum wire used in the 1960s to mid-1970s and the terminations, particularly when the termination was a steel screw on an electrical device.

  9. Network analysis (electrical circuits) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_analysis...

    In electrical engineering and electronics, a network is a collection of interconnected components. Network analysis is the process of finding the voltages across, and the currents through, all network components. There are many techniques for calculating these values; however, for the most part, the techniques assume linear components.
