Subtopics

Technologies

• Cabling [r]: Techniques, tools and practices for planning and implementing the physical installation of wire and cable ^[e]
• Conductor (electrical) [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Wire and cable [r]: Two related concepts; the first being a single metallic strand or perhaps interwoven thin strands that act as a single large strand, the second being an assembly of metallic strands, sometimes mixed with other mechanically compatible structures, such as fiber optics and strength members ^[e]
  • Fuse (electrical) [r]: A device that protects electrical circuits from excessive current, consisting of an enclosed conductor that will carry the rated current, but will break or melt, interrupting the circuit, if any additional current flows ^[e]
• Generator (electrical) [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Conventional coal-fired power plant [r]: power plant that burns coal in a steam generator to produce high pressure steam, which goes to steam turbines that generate electricity. ^[e]
