2. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

   Aluminum building wiring. Aluminum building wiring is a type of electrical wiring for residential construction or houses that uses aluminum electrical conductors. Aluminum provides a better conductivity-to-weight ratio than copper, and therefore is also used for wiring power grids, including overhead power transmission lines and local power ...

3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

   American Wire Gauge ( AWG) is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Dimensions of the wires are given in ASTM standard B 258. [ 1] The cross-sectional area of each gauge is an important factor for ...

4. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

   Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains. Overhead line is designed on the principle of one or more overhead wires situated over rail tracks. Feeder stations at regular intervals along the overhead line supply power from the high-voltage grid.

5. Copper-clad aluminium wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_aluminium_wire

   This improved conductivity over bare aluminum makes the copper-clad aluminium wire a good fit for radio frequency use. The skin effect is similarly exploited in copper-clad steel wire, such as the center conductors of many coaxial cables, which are commonly used for high frequency feedlines with high strength and conductivity requirements.

6. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

   Measuring. In commerce, the sizes of wire are estimated by devices, also called gauges, which consist of plates of circular or oblong form having notches of different widths around their edges to receive wire and sheet metals of different thicknesses. Each notch is stamped with a number, and the wire or sheet, which just fits a given notch, is ...

7. Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-conductor_steel...

   Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable ( ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines. The outer strands are high-purity aluminium, chosen for its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion and decent mechanical stress resistance.
