  2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.

  3. Multicore cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicore_cable

    In many applications, this jacket adds significant mechanical protection, making the cable much more rugged. Sometimes each individual connection or channel also has its own jacket to aid mechanical or electromagnetic protection. [7] Some multicore cables terminate in a multipin connector, often circular. Others split the cores into separate ...

  4. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Many circuits can be analyzed as a combination of series and parallel circuits, along with other configurations. In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. [1]

  5. DIP switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIP_switch

    Eight switches offer 256 (2 8) combinations, which is equivalent to one byte. A tri-state type DIP switch can be in one of three positions (+, 0, −) which allows more codes than a binary DIP switch. For example, 8 pole tri-state DIP switches offer 6,561 (3 8) combinations/codes compared to 8 pole binary switches' 256 (2 8) combinations/codes ...

  6. Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

    Every time the relay contacts open or close under load, an electrical arc can occur between the contacts of the relay, either a break arc (when opening), or a make / bounce arc (when closing). In many situations, the break arc is more energetic and thus more destructive, in particular with inductive loads, but this can be mitigated by bridging ...

  7. 25-pair color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25-pair_color_code

    The wire pairs are referenced directly by their color combination, or by the pair number. For example, pair 9 is also called the red-brown pair. In technical tabulations, the colors are often suitably abbreviated. Violet is the standard name in the telecommunications and electronics industry, but it is sometimes referred to as purple.

  8. Electrical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_element

    To model the nonideal behavior of a real circuit component may require a combination of multiple ideal electrical elements to approximate its function. For example, an inductor circuit element is assumed to have inductance but no resistance or capacitance , while a real inductor, a coil of wire, has some resistance in addition to its inductance.

  9. Full-time job - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-time_job

    The definition by the employer can vary and is generally published in a company's Employee Handbook. Companies commonly require from 32 to 40 hours per week to be defined as full-time and therefore eligible for benefits. Full-time status varies between company and is often based on the shift the employee must work during
