  2. Earth-leakage circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Earth-leakage_protection_device

    An earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations to prevent shock. It consists of either a current sensing mechanism, or a voltage sensing mechanism. Such a protection mechanism may be found in the form of distribution board modules, standalone devices, and special sockets (aka receptacles).

  3. Rocker cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_cover

    On engines without rocker arms, such as some overhead cam and most dual overhead cam types, [1] they are known as rocker boxes in the United Kingdom. On modern engines without rocker arms they are internationally known as "valve cover" but are sometimes referred to as a "cam cover" or "timing cover" if they also cover the timing gear(s) and ...

  4. Rocker box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_box

    A rocker box (also known as a cradle or a big box) is a gold mining implement for separating alluvial placer gold from sand and gravel which was used in placer mining in the 19th century. It consists of a high-sided box, which is open on one end and on top, [ 1 ] and was placed on rockers .

  5. Surge protector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

    Surge Protection Device (SPD) for installation in a low-voltage distribution board. A surge protector (or spike suppressor, surge suppressor, surge diverter, [1] surge protection device (SPD), transient voltage suppressor (TVS) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS)) is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices in alternating current (AC) circuits from voltage spikes ...

  6. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.

  7. Stuffing box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffing_box

    The stuffing box prevents water from entering the boat's hull. In many small fiberglass boats, for example, the stuffing box is mounted inboard near the point the shaft exits the hull. The "box" is a cylindrical assembly, typically of bronze, comprising a sleeve threaded on one end to accept adjusting and locking nuts.

  8. Rocker arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_arm

    A rocker arm is a valvetrain component that typically transfers the motion of a pushrod in an overhead valve internal combustion engine to the corresponding intake/exhaust valve. Rocker arms in automobiles are typically made from stamped steel, or aluminum in higher-revving applications.

  9. Grid-leak detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-leak_detector

    A grid leak resistor and capacitor unit from 1926. The 2 megohm cartridge resistor is replaceable so the user can try different values. The parallel capacitor is built into the holder. A grid leak detector is an electronic circuit that demodulates an amplitude modulated alternating current and amplifies the recovered modulating voltage. The ...
