  2. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

    Larger electrical cable that has stranded aluminum wires with an outer sheath used for service entrance feeders from a meter to a panel. In the United States, solid aluminum wires made with AA-8000 series aluminum alloy are allowed for 15 A or 20 A branch circuit wiring according to the National Electrical Code. [9]

  3. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    Electrical panels, cables and firestops in an electrical service room at a paper mill in Ontario, Canada. Electrical panels are easily accessible junction boxes used to reroute and switch electrical services. The term is often used to refer to circuit breaker panels or fuseboxes. Local codes can specify physical clearance around the panels.

  4. Cable gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_gland

    Cable glands are commonly defined as mechanical cable entry devices. [4] They are used throughout a number of industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems. Cable glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data and telecommunications cables.

  5. Cable tray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tray

    Cable trays are used as an alternative to open wiring or electrical conduit systems, and are commonly used for cable management in commercial and industrial construction. They are especially useful in situations where changes to a wiring system are anticipated, since new cables can be installed by laying them in the tray, instead of pulling ...

  6. Cable entry system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_Entry_System

    Cable entry systems are used for routing electrical cables, corrugated conduits or pneumatic and hydraulic hoses into switch cabinets, electrical enclosures, control panels and machines or in large heavy-duty vehicles, rolling stock and ships. Possible requirements can be high ingress protection rates or integrated strain relief. [1]

  7. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    For example, NM 14-2 cable contains three conductors (two plus one ground) at 14 gauge, a size typically used for circuits protected at 15 amperes. Circuits with larger currents (such as for electric furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, or sub-mains to additional circuit panels) will have larger conductors.

  8. Cable management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_management

    Cable management refers to management of electrical or optical cable in a cabinet or an installation. The term is used for products, workmanship or planning. Cables can easily become tangled, making them difficult to work with, sometimes resulting in devices accidentally becoming unplugged as one attempts to move a cable.

  9. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

    Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on.
