  2. Galvanostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanostat

    A galvanostat (also known as amperostat) is a control and measuring device capable of keeping the current through an electrolytic cell in coulometric titrations constant, disregarding changes in the load itself. Its main feature is its nearly "infinite" (i.e. extremely high in respect to common loads) internal resistance.

  3. Wire wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap

    In professionally built wire-wrap boards, long wires are placed first so that shorter wires mechanically secure the long wires. Also, to make an assembly more repairable, wires are applied in layers. The ends of each wire are always at the same height on the post, so that at most three wires need to be replaced to replace a wire.

  4. Cable lacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_lacing

    Laced wiring harness from a Tesla coil. Cable lacing is a method for tying wiring harnesses and cable looms, traditionally used in telecommunication, naval, and aerospace applications.

  5. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

    However, the manufacturer's instructions for the Ideal no. 65 Twister [19] only recommends pre-twisting the wires, and does not state it is required. Also, the instructions do not mention physically abrading the wires as recommended by the CPSC, although the manufacturer current literature states the pre-filled "compound cuts aluminum oxide".

  6. Current collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_collector

    Trolley pole wheel on top of the trolley pole of Twin City Rapid Transit Company No. 1300. A current collector (often called a "pickup") is a device used in trolleybuses, trams, electric locomotives and EMUs to carry electric power from overhead lines, electric third rails, or ground-level power supplies to the electrical equipment of the vehicles.

  7. Wire gauze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauze

    Wire gauze or wire mesh is a gauze woven of metal wire, or very fine, gauze-like wire netting. Wire gauze is placed on the support ring that is attached to the retort stand between a burner and glassware , or is placed on a tripod to support beakers , flasks , or other glassware to protect it during heating.

  8. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    There are special provisions in the NEC for so-called technical equipment, mainly professional grade audio and video equipment supplied by so-called "balanced" 120 volt circuits. The center tap of a transformer is connected to ground, and the equipment is supplied by two line wires each 60 volts to ground (and 120 volts between line conductors).

  9. Superconducting wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_wire

    Superconducting wires are electrical wires made of superconductive material. When cooled below their transition temperatures , they have zero electrical resistance . Most commonly, conventional superconductors such as niobium–titanium are used, [ 1 ] but high-temperature superconductors such as YBCO are entering the market.
