    Flat load – The flat hose is simply placed in the track so that it is stacked. Most large supply lines coming off the back of the fire apparatus are stored using a flat load because of ease of deployment and re-packing. [6] Horseshoe load – Similar to the accordion load, but the whole load is folded in half, resembling a horseshoe.

    A preconnected attack line that is typically 1¾" diameter, and stored either on the front bumper of the apparatus or in an exterior (exposed) side well. Trash lines are typically shorter length than cross-lays , and are intended for use against dumpster fires, etc., where a longer length of hose (and consequent rebedding after the suppression ...

  4. Pre-charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-charge

    Upon completion of pre-charging, the pre-charge resistance is switched out of the power supply circuit and returns to a low impedance power source for normal mode. The high voltage loads are then powered up sequentially. The simplest inrush-current limiting system, used in many consumer electronics devices, is a NTC resistor.

  5. Preload (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(engineering)

    It is also used in testing a specimen, for a process where the crosshead moves to load the specimen to a specified value before a test starts. Data is not captured during the preload segment. When tensile specimens are initially placed into testing grips, they can be subjected to small compressive forces. These forces can cause specimens to ...

    The mechanical advantage is 2, requiring a force of only 50 N to lift the load. A block and tackle is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load. Its mechanical advantage is the number of parts of the rope that act on the load. The mechanical advantage of a ...

    Or, say, you're facing the Yankees and load the bases against the Nos. 5, 6, and 7 hitters. But then manager Aaron Boone goes for the golden at-bat, and it's Juan Soto who is coming up next.

    For example, if the imbalance is limited to 25% of the total load (half of one half) rather than the absolute worst-case 50%, then conductors 3/8 of the single-phase size will guarantee the same maximum voltage drop, totalling 9/8 of one single-phase conductor, 56% of the copper of the two single-phase conductors.
