  2. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

  3. NMEA 0183 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMEA_0183

    NMEA 0183 is a combined electrical and data specification for communication between marine electronics such as echo sounder, sonars, anemometer, gyrocompass, autopilot, GPS receivers and many other types of instruments.

  4. Fixture unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixture_unit

    The relationship between gallons per minute (gpm) and fixture unit is not constant, but varies with the number of fixture units. For example, 1000 FU is equivalent to 220 US gallons per minute (0.014 m 3 /s) while 2000 FU represents only 330 US gallons per minute (0.021 m 3 /s), about 1.5 times the flow rate.

  5. Direct-buried cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-buried_cable

    Cross-section of direct buried cable. Direct-buried cable (DBC) is a kind of communications or transmissions electrical cable which is especially designed to be buried under the ground without any other cover, sheath, or duct to protect it. [1] Most direct-buried cable is built to specific tolerances to heat, moisture, conductivity, and soil ...

  6. Submarine power cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_power_cable

    A central oil channel in the conductor facilitates oil flow in cables up to 525 kV for when the cable gets warm but rarely used in submarine cables due to oil pollution risk with cable damage. Mass-impregnated cables have also a paper-lapped insulation but the impregnation compound is highly viscous and does not exit when the cable is damaged.

  7. GPM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPM

    GPM may refer to: GPM (software), software providing support for mouse devices in Linux virtual consoles; Graphical path method, a mathematically based algorithm used in project management; Gallons per minute, a unit of volumetric flow rate; Gallons per mile, a unit of fuel efficiency; Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi district, Chhattisgarh, India

  8. Stream power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_power

    It can be derived by the fact that if the water is not accelerating and the river cross-section stays constant (generally good assumptions for an averaged reach of a stream over a modest distance), all of the potential energy lost as the water flows downstream must be used up in friction or work against the bed: none can be added to kinetic energy.

  9. Gallon per watt-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon_per_watt-hour

    G/Wh makes it easy for homeowners and plumbing professionals to quickly determine the energy efficiency of a pump. Simply stated G/Wh links efficiency and performance by illustrating how many gallons of water are pumped using one watt hour of electricity.
