2. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

   Electric power can be transmitted by underground power cables. Underground cables take up no right-of-way, have lower visibility, and are less affected by weather. However, cables must be insulated. Cable and excavation costs are much higher than overhead construction. Faults in buried transmission lines take longer to locate and repair.

3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

   The sixth power of 39 √ 92 is very close to 2, [4] which leads to the following rules of thumb: When the cross-sectional area of a wire is doubled, the AWG will decrease by 3. (E.g. two 14 AWG wires have about the same cross-sectional area as a single 11 AWG wire.)

4. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

   Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

5. Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-conductor_steel...

   Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines. The outer strands are high-purity aluminium , chosen for its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion and decent mechanical stress resistance.

8. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

   Under short-circuit conditions, the calculated or measured maximum prospective short-circuit current may be many times the normal, rated current of the circuit. When electrical contacts open to interrupt a large current, there is a tendency for an arc to form between the opened contacts, which would allow the current to continue.

9. DC connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector

   The 2.6 kW plug can be disconnected under load, but the 5.2 kW plug cannot. [20] Designed primarily for supplying power to computer and communications equipment, these connectors are intended to allow data centers to migrate towards supplying equipment with DC power as an alternative to AC.
