  2. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Rural electrification systems tend to use higher distribution voltages because of the longer distances covered by distribution lines (see Rural Electrification Administration). 7.2, 12.47, 25, and 34.5 kV distribution is common in the United States; 11 kV and 33 kV are common in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; 11 kV and 22 kV are common in ...

  3. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    The study measured the electric field strength at the edge of an existing right-of-way on a 765 kV transmission line. The field strength was 1.6 kV/m, and became the interim maximum strength standard for new transmission lines in New York State. The opinion also limited the voltage of new transmission lines built in New York to 345 kV.

  4. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    Phase-to-phase transformer in Britain Primary line on the right toward the front and secondary lines in the back of this single-phase transformer. Both pole-mounted and pad-mounted transformers convert the overhead or underground distribution lines' high 'primary' voltage to the lower 'secondary' or 'utilization' voltage inside the building.

  5. Didactic method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didactic_method

    A didactic method (Greek: διδάσκειν didáskein, "to teach") is a teaching method that follows a consistent scientific approach or educational style to present information to students. The didactic method of instruction is often contrasted with dialectics and the Socratic method ; the term can also be used to refer to a specific ...

  6. Teaching method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_method

    A teaching method is a set of principles and methods used by teachers to enable student learning. These strategies are determined partly by the subject matter to be taught, partly by the relative expertise of the learners, and partly by constraints caused by the learning environment. [ 1 ]

  7. History of electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    The masts of this line were designed for eventual upgrade to 380 kV. However the first transmission at 380 kV in Germany was on October 5, 1957 between the substations in Rommerskirchen and Ludwigsburg–Hoheneck. The world's first 380 kV power line was built in Sweden, the 952 km Harsprånget – Hallsberg line in 1952.

  8. Student-directed teaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student-directed_teaching

    Student-directed teaching is a teaching technology that aims to give the student greater control, ownership, and accountability over his or her own education. Developed to counter institutionalized, mass, schooling, student-directed teaching allows students to make their own choices while they learn in order to make education much more meaningful, relevant, and effective.

  9. Power engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering

    These societies contributed to the exchange of electrical knowledge and the development of electrical engineering education. On an international level, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which was founded in 1906, prepares standards for power engineering, with 20,000 electrotechnical experts from 172 countries developing ...
