  2. Flashing (weatherproofing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashing_(weatherproofing)

    Counter-flashing (or cover flashing, cap flashing) is a term used when there are two parallel pieces of flashing employed together [4] such as on a chimney, where the counter-flashing is built into the chimney and overlaps a replaceable piece of base flashing. Strips of lead used for flashing an edge were sometimes called an apron, [5] and the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(electronics)

    The lead wire is a coated copper wire, a tinned copper wire or another electrically conductive wire used to connect two locations electrically. In electronics, a lead (/ ˈ l iː d /) or pin is an electrical connector consisting of a length of wire or a metal pad (surface-mount technology) that is designed to connect two locations electrically.

  4. Electrical length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

    In electrical engineering, electrical length is a dimensionless parameter equal to the physical length of an electrical conductor such as a cable or wire, divided by the wavelength of alternating current at a given frequency traveling through the conductor. [1] [2] [3] In other words, it is the length of the conductor measured in wavelengths.

  6. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    When measuring low-level signals, noise in cable or wire may present a problem. For example, the noise in an ECG or another medical signal may make accurate diagnosis difficult or even impossible. Keeping triboelectric noise at acceptable levels requires careful material selection, design, and processing as cable material is manufactured.

  7. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    Each notch is stamped with a number, and the wire or sheet, which just fits a given notch, is stated to be of, say, No. 10, 11, 12, etc., of the wire gauge. The circular forms of wire gauge measurement devices are the most popular, and are generally 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (95 mm) in diameter, with thirty-six notches; many have the decimal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductor_gallop

    Galloping conductors in eastern Idaho around Christmastime 1998. Conductor gallop is the high-amplitude, low-frequency oscillation of overhead power lines due to wind. [1] The movement of the wires occurs most commonly in the vertical plane, although horizontal or rotational motion is also possible.

  9. Power cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_cord

    The terms power cable, mains lead, flex or kettle lead are also used. A lamp cord (also known as a zip cord) is a light-weight, ungrounded, single-insulated two-wire cord used for small loads such as a table or floor lamp. A cord set includes connectors molded to the cord at each end (see Appliance coupler). Cord sets are detachable from both ...
