2. Electric power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

   A steam turbine used to provide electric power. An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industries within an extended area.

3. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

   Mains electricity or utility power, grid power, domestic power, and wall power, or, in some parts of Canada, hydro, is a general-purpose alternating-current (AC) electric power supply. It is the form of electrical power that is delivered to homes and businesses through the electrical grid in many parts of the world.

5. Bushing (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushing_(electrical)

   Insulated bushings can be installed either indoor, or outdoor, and the selection of insulation will be determined by the location of the installation and the electrical service duty on the bushing. For a bushing to work successfully over many years, the insulation must remain effective both in composition and design shape and will be key ...

6. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   Generator sets used for construction sites are equipped to supply it directly. However, a large farm may be given a 230–0–230 (nominal) supply. An incidental benefit is that the filaments of 110 V incandescent lamps used on such systems are thicker and thus mechanically more rugged than those of 240 V lamps.

7. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   At the power station, an electrical generator converts mechanical power into a set of three AC electric currents, one from each coil (or winding) of the generator. The windings are arranged such that the currents are at the same frequency but with the peaks and troughs of their wave forms offset to provide three complementary currents with a ...

8. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   A specific model of a generator operated as a standby generator may only need to operate for a few hours per year, but the same model operated as a prime power generator must operate continuously. When running, the standby generator may be operated with a specified - e.g. 10% overload that can be tolerated for the expected short running time.

9. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

   The current is sent out of the generator unit through two sets of slip rings and brushes, one of which is used for each end of the armature. In this two-pole design, as the armature rotates one revolution, it generates one cycle of single phase alternating current (AC).
