    Special wiring rules apply to wet or corrosive locations, [13] and to locations which present an explosion hazard. [14] Wiring materials for use in the United States must generally be made and tested to product standards set by NEMA and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and must bear approval marks such as those set by UL.

  3. Bellini–Tosi direction finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellini–Tosi_direction...

    A Bellini–Tosi direction finder (B–T or BTDF) is a type of radio direction finder (RDF), which determines the direction to, or bearing of, a radio transmitter. Earlier RDF systems used very large rotating loop antennas , which the B–T system replaced with two fixed antennae and a small rotating loop, known as a radiogoniometer .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Direction_Finder

    World War II US Navy high frequency radio direction finder One form of radio direction finding works by comparing the signal strength of a directional antenna pointing in different directions. At first, this system was used by land and marine-based radio operators, using a simple rotatable loop antenna linked to a degree indicator.

  5. Doppler radio direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radio_direction...

    A great advance in RDF technique was introduced in the form of the Bellini-Tosi direction finder (B-T) system, which replaced the rotation of the antenna with the rotation of a small coil of wire connected to two non-moving loop antennas. The loop antennas were similar to those used in earlier systems but fixed in position, set at right angles ...

    The AN/FRD-10 had an estimated range of 3,200 nautical miles (5,900 km) and was used to monitor and triangulate single or double hop high frequency (HF) signals between 2 and 32 MHz. Site locations were likely chosen based on HF hop distances for their intended surveillance targets. [ 2 ]

    In many new homes, the location of the electrical switchboard is on the outside of the external wall of the garage. How services are connected will vary depending on the service provider and location of the home. The following home services are supported by discrete wiring systems [2] Information and communications; Entertainment; Energy management
