  2. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the equipment's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. [1] The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.

  3. Ice shelf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_shelf

    The floating ice shelf is in the left foreground, and the grounding line is visible as an abrupt change in surface slope due to flexure caused by the buoyancy force where the ice reaches flotation. An ice shelf is a large platform of glacial ice floating on the ocean, fed by one or multiple tributary glaciers.

  4. Thwaites Glacier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thwaites_Glacier

    Other labels refer to the ice tongue's grounding line, and northern and southern shear zones where it's in direct contact with the ice shelf. [ 29 ] The Thwaites Glacier Tongue, or Western Glacier Tongue ( 75°0′S 106°50′W  /  75.000°S 106.833°W  / -75.000; -106.833 ) was a narrow, floating part of the glacier, located about 30 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairstyling_product

    Hair wax is a thick hair styling product containing wax, which helps hold hair in place. Unlike some products such as hair gel which leave the hair hard in texture, hair wax leaves the hair pliable. Many manufacturers are now releasing different versions of hair wax, such as pomade, putty, glue, glypto, whip, and styling paste. [6]

  8. Grounding transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounding_transformer

    A grounding transformer. A grounding transformer or earthing transformer is a type of auxiliary transformer used in three-phase electric power systems to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded wye or a delta-connected system. [1] [2] Grounding transformers are part of an earthing system of the network.

  9. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

    For example, power semiconductors connected to the line voltage may be switched by opto-isolators driven from low-voltage circuits, which then need not be insulated from the higher line voltage. Transformers allow the output of a device to float relative to ground to avoid potential ground loops. Power isolation transformers increase the safety ...
