  2. 25-pair color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25-pair_color_code

    Older Bell System wiring inside customer premises used untwisted wire cable, with each conductor a different solid color. 4-conductor was most common, but 6-conductor was sometimes used and the colors for up to 5 pairs (10 conductors) were defined. They correspond to the current 25-color code as follows:

  3. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

    A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.

  4. Cryotron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryotron

    Now when current is made to pass through the niobium coil (wrapped around tantalum) it produces a magnetic field, which in turn reduces (kills) the superconductivity of the tantalum wire and hence reduces the amount of the current that can flow through the tantalum wire. Hence one can control the amount of the current that can flow in the ...

  5. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    An inrush current limiter is a device or devices combination used to limit inrush current. Passive resistive components such as resistors (with power dissipation drawback), or negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors are simple options while the positive one (PTC) is used to limit max current afterward as the circuit has been operating (with cool-down time drawback on both).

  6. Telluric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

    A telluric current (from Latin tellūs 'earth'), or Earth current, [1] is an electric current that flows underground or through the sea, resulting from natural and human-induced causes. These currents have extremely low frequency and traverse large areas near or at Earth 's surface.

  7. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    In most cases this is a small portion of a wire's inductance which includes the effect of induction from magnetic fields outside of the wire produced by the current in the wire. Unlike that external inductance, the internal inductance is reduced by skin effect, that is, at frequencies where skin depth is no longer large compared to the ...

  8. Color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_code

    25-pair color code chart used in certain kinds of wiring A color code is a system for encoding and representing non-color information with colors to facilitate communication. This information tends to be categorical (representing unordered/qualitative categories) though may also be sequential (representing an ordered/quantitative variable).

  9. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers.Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current.
