  3. Comparative Tracking Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_Tracking_Index

    The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) is used to measure the electrical breakdown (tracking) properties of an insulating material. Tracking is an electrical breakdown on the surface of an insulating material wherein an initial exposure to electrical arcing heat carbonizes the material. The carbonized areas are more conductive than the pristine ...

    [citation needed] The method by which the fractures are placed along the wellbore is most commonly achieved by one of two methods, known as "plug and perf" and "sliding sleeve". [96] The wellbore for a plug-and-perf job is generally composed of standard steel casing, cemented or uncemented, set in the drilled hole.

  7. Underground power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_power_line

    An underground power line provides electrical power with underground cables. Compared to overhead power lines, underground lines have lower risk of starting a wildfire and reduce the risk of the electrical supply being interrupted by outages during high winds, thunderstorms or heavy snow or ice storms. An added benefit of undergrounding is the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_power_supply

    A number of ground-level power supply systems were developed from the 1970s through the 1990s, [8] but were not reliable or safe enough for commercial use. [9]The first ground-level power supply system developed to modern safety standards was the Ansaldo Stream, [7] although a competing system, Alstom APS, was the first to be commercially implemented in 2003.
