2. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

   The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [ 1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field. [ 2] When single phase AC supply is applied to the ...

3. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

   Electrical wiring practices developed in parallel in many countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. [7] As a result, national and regional variations developed and remain in effect. (see National Electrical Code, electrical wiring, electrical wiring in the United Kingdom). Some of these are retained for technical reasons, since the ...

4. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

   v. t. e. Knob-and-tube wiring (sometimes abbreviated K&T) is an early standardized method of electrical wiring in buildings, in common use in North America from about 1880 to the 1930s. [ 1][ 2] It consisted of single-insulated copper conductors run within wall or ceiling cavities, passing through joist and stud drill-holes via protective ...

5. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ[ 1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [ 2] It is a type of polyphase system employing three wires (or ...

6. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   For example; a single-phase motor with 3 north and 3 south poles, having 6 poles per phase, is a 6-pole motor. A three-phase motor with 18 north and 18 south poles, having 6 poles per phase, is also a 6-pole motor. This industry standard method of counting poles results in the same synchronous speed for a given frequency regardless of polarity.

7. 25-pair color code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25-pair_color_code

   When used for plain old telephone service (POTS), the first wire is known as the tip or A-leg (U.K.) conductor, and is usually connected to the positive side of a direct current (DC) circuit, while the second wire is known as the ring lead or B-leg (U.K.), and is connected to the negative side of the circuit. Neither of these two sides of the ...

8. National Electrical Code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

   Electrical installations. The National Electrical Code ( NEC ), or NFPA 70, is a regionally adoptable standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. It is part of the National Fire Code series published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a private trade association. [ 1]

9. Dahlander pole changing motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahlander_pole_changing_motor

   A Dahlander motor (also known as a pole changing motor, dual- or two speed-motor) is a type of multispeed three-phase induction motor, in which the speed of the motor is varied by altering the number of poles; this is achieved by altering the wiring connections inside the motor. The motor may have fixed or variable torque depending on the ...
