A floating ground is a reference point for electrical potential in a circuit which is galvanically isolated from actual earth ground. Most electrical circuits have a ground which is electrically connected to the Earth, hence the name "ground". The ground is said to be floating when this connection does not exist. [1]
A distribution board, or circuit breaker panel, is typically a metal box mounted on a wall of the home. 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.
Four-conductor shielded cable with metal foil shield and drain wire. Coaxial cable. Electronic symbol for a shielded wire. A shielded cable or screened cable is an electrical cable that has a common conductive layer around its conductors for electromagnetic shielding. [1]
A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.
Building automation (BAS), also known as building management system (BMS) or building energy management system (BEMS), is the automatic centralized control of a building's HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), electrical, lighting, shading, access control, security systems, and other interrelated systems.
Floating voltage, and floating ground, a voltage or ground in an electric circuit that is not connected to the Earth or another reference voltage; Floating point, a representation in computing of rational numbers most commonly associated with the IEEE 754 standard; Floating, a 1997 American drama film
A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...
Panel painting, in art, a painting on a wood panel (as opposed to canvas, a wall etc) Panel (comics), a single image in a comic book, comic strip or cartoon; also, a comic strip containing one such image; Groupings of rock art, pictographs or petroglyphs
