  2. Fuse cutout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_cutout

    In electrical distribution, a fuse cutout or cut-out fuse (often referred to as a cutout) is a combination of a fuse and a switch, used in primary overhead feeder lines and taps to protect distribution transformers from current surges and overloads. An overcurrent caused by a fault in the transformer or customer circuit will cause the fuse to ...

  3. Riser (casting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riser_(casting)

    A bronze casting showing the sprue and risers. A riser, also known as a feeder, [1] is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due to shrinkage.Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling, which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.

  4. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    a load tap changer (LTC) at the substation transformer, which changes the turns ratio in response to load current and thereby adjusts the voltage supplied at the sending end of the feeder; voltage regulators , which are essentially transformers with tap changers to adjust the voltage along the feeder, so as to compensate for the voltage drop ...

  5. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    The 240 V secondary winding is center-tapped, and the center neutral wire is grounded, making the two end conductors "hot" concerning the center tap. These three wires run down the service drop to the building's electric meter and service panel. Connecting a load between the hot wire and the neutral gives 120 volts, which is used for lighting ...

  6. Tap and die - Wikipedia

    where is the tap drill size, is the major diameter of the tap (e.g., 10 mm for a M10×1.5 tap), and pitch is the pitch of the thread (1.5 mm in the case of a standard M10 tap) and so the correct drill size is 8.5 mm. This works for both fine and coarse pitches, and also produces an approximate 75% thread.

    All you have to do, says Doolittle, is "to tap into your own energy and create boundaries around your energy and [towards those] who have access to the sanctuary of your heart and your home."

  8. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    This velocity is called the "feed" by machinists. The phrase speeds and feeds or feeds and speeds refers to two separate parameters in machine tool practice, cutting speed and feed rate. They are often considered as a pair because of their combined effect on the cutting process. Each, however, can also be considered and analyzed in its own right.

  9. Fiber tapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_tapping

    Tapping the fiber means that all signals from every communications source being routed through the fiber are presented and must be sorted for relevant data, an immense task when thousands of sources of data or voice may be present. According to reports, the US government used fiber tapping for surveillance following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
