  2. Chassis ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chassis_ground

    A chassis ground is a link between different metallic parts of a machine to ensure an electrical connection between them. [1] Examples include electronic instruments and motor vehicles. Usages

  3. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

    The point where the steering axis line contacts the road is the fulcrum pivot point on which the tire is turned. Scrub radius is changed whenever there is a change in wheel offset. For example, when the wheels are pushed out from the body of the car the scrub radius becomes more positive.

  4. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    Ground loops are a major cause of noise, hum, and interference in audio, video, and computer systems. Wiring practices that protect against ground loops include ensuring that all vulnerable signal circuits are referenced to one point as ground. The use of differential signaling can provide rejection of ground-induced interference. The removal ...

  5. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    PE and N are entirely separate conductors. If a neutral conductor is provided, and if the point from which the transformer connects to Earth is the neutral-star-point, then PE and N conductors will be connected at this one and only point within the system. Note that the armoring of the supply cable is commonly used as the PE conductor between ...

  6. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

    Breaker arm with contact points at the left. The pivot is on the right and the cam follower is in the middle of the breaker arm. A contact breaker (or "points") is a type of electrical switch, found in the ignition systems of spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The switch is automatically operated by a cam driven by the engine.

  9. Multipoint ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipoint_ground

    A multipoint ground system is more complicated to install and maintain over the long term, and can be more expensive to install. Star topology systems can be converted to multipoint systems by installing new conductors between old existing ones. However, this should be done with care as it can inadvertently introduce noise onto signal lines during the conversion process. The noise can be ...
