  2. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

    The ground tab is designed to be attached to the outlet faceplate screw, which is supposed to be connected to the building electrical ground. A cheater plug, AC ground lifter or three-prong/two-prong adapter is an adapter that allows a NEMA 5-15P grounding-type plug (three prongs) to connect to a NEMA 1-15R non-grounding receptacle (two slots).

  3. 25 kV AC railway electrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_kV_AC_railway...

    Use of 60 Hz allows direct supply from the 60 Hz utility grid yet does not require the larger wire clearance for 25 kV 60 Hz or require dual-voltage capability for trains also operating on 11 kV 25 Hz lines. Examples are: Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line from Pelham, NY to New Haven, CT (Since 1985; previously 11 kV 25 Hz).

  4. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    Various forms of flexible terminals, expansion joints, and weatherproof or fire-proof bushings and terminals are used with isolated-phase bus. Some types of apparatus such as disconnecting switches, circuit breakers, and instrument transformers are made in enclosures that can be welded to become an integral part of the isolated-phase bus system.

    21G - Ground Distance; 21P - Phase Distance; 22 – Equalizer Circuit Breaker; 23 – Temperature control device, Heater; 24 – Volts per Hertz Relay (in some old analog applications, a 59 and an 81 device would be chained together as a 59/81 to implement the equivalent of V/Hz protection) 25 – Synchronizing or Synchronism-check Device

  6. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    For instance, instead of 14 AWG (American wire gauge) copper wire, aluminium wiring would need to be 12 AWG on a typical 15 ampere lighting circuit, though local building codes vary. Solid aluminium conductors were originally made in the 1960s from a utility-grade aluminium alloy that had undesirable properties for a building wire, and were ...

  7. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

    For example, NM 14-2 cable contains three conductors (two plus one ground) at 14 gauge, a size typically used for circuits protected at 15 amperes. Circuits with larger currents (such as for electric furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, or sub-mains to additional circuit panels) will have larger conductors.

  8. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    This three-wire single-phase system is common in North America for residential and light commercial applications. Circuit breaker panels typically have two live (hot) wires, and a neutral, connected at one point to the grounded center tap of a local transformer. Usually, one of the live wires is black and the other one red; the neutral wire is ...

  9. National Electrical Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

    A full-load wire does heat up slightly due to the metallic resistance of the wire, but this wire heating is factored into the cable's temperature rating. (NEC 310.10) [ 12 ] The NEC specifies acceptable numbers of conductors in crowded areas such as inside conduit, referred to as the fill rating .
