2. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

   Single-wire earth return (SWER) or single-wire ground return is a single-wire transmission line which supplies single-phase electric power from an electrical grid to remote areas at lowest cost. The earth (or sometimes a body of water) is used as the return path for the current, to avoid the need for a second wire (or neutral wire ) to act as a ...

3. Counterpoise (ground system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoise_(ground_system)

   It usually consists of a single wire or network of horizontal wires, parallel to the ground, suspended above the ground under the antenna, connected to the receiver or transmitter's "ground" wire. [2] The counterpoise functions as one plate of a large capacitor, with the conductive layers of the earth acting as the other plate. [2] [3]

4. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

   A standard wire gauge. American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Dimensions of the wires are given in ASTM standard B 258. [1]

5. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

   The current density, and power dissipated, increases the closer one gets to the ground terminal at the base of the antenna, [14] so the radial ground system can be thought of as providing a higher conductivity medium, copper, for the ground current to flow through, in the parts of the ground carrying high current density, to reduce power losses.

6. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

   A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection. An optical ground wire is a more advanced version with embedded optical fibers for communication. Overhead wire markers can be mounted on the ground wire to meet International Civil Aviation Organization recommendations. [7]

7. Copper tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_tubing

   While pipe sizes in Australia are inch-based, they are classified by outside rather than inside diameter (e.g., a nominal 3 ⁄ 4 inch copper pipe in Australia has measured diameters of 0.750 inches outside and 0.638 inches inside, whereas a nominal 3 ⁄ 4 inch copper pipe in the U.S. and Canada has measured diameters of 0.875 inch outside and ...

9. Copper-clad steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_steel

   Copper-clad steel (CCS), also known as copper-covered steel or the trademarked name Copperweld is a bi-metallic product, mainly used in the wire industry that combines the high mechanical strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper. It is mainly used for grounding purposes, line tracing to locate underground ...
