energy

A symmetric or balanced fault that affects each of the phases equally.

energy

Electrical tape (or insulating tape) is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other materials that conduct electricity.

energy

In electronics, electrical termination is the practice of ending a transmission line with a device that matches the characteristic impedance of the line.

energy

A transient fault is a fault that is no longer present if power is disconnected for a short time and then restored; or an insulation fault which only temporarily affects a device's dielectric properties which are restored after a short time.

energy

Electrical wiring is an electrical installation of cabling and associated devices such as switches, distribution boards, sockets, and light fittings in a structure.

energy

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge.

energy

A small floating hydroelectric power plant anchored to the ground in a river.

energy

The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid.

energy

Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.

energy

In economic terms, electricity is a commodity capable of being bought, sold, and traded.

energy

An electricity meter or energy meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energyconsumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device.

energy

Electricity retailing is the final sale of electricity from generation to the end-use consumer.

energy

Electrification is the process of powering by electricity changing over from an earlier power source.

energy

An electrochemical cell is a device capable of either generating electrical energy from chemical reactions or using electrical energy to cause chemical reactions.

energy

Electrochemical energy conversion is a field of energy technology concerned with electrochemical methods of energy conversion including fuel cells and photoelectrochemical. This field of technology also includes electrical storage devices like batteries and supercapacitors.

energy

Electrochemical engineering is the branch of chemical engineering dealing with the technological applications of electrochemical phenomena, such as electrosynthesis of chemicals, electrowinning and refining of metals, flow batteries and fuel cells, surface modification by electrodeposition, electrochemical separations and corrosion.

energy

The transformation of chemical energy into electricity as in batery.

energy

Electrocution is death or severe injury by electric shock, electric current passing through the body.

energy

An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit.

energy

Electrofuels or e-fuels (synthetic fuels) are an emerging class of carbon-neutral drop-in replacement fuels that are made by storing electrical energy from renewable sources in the chemical bonds of liquid or gas fuels. They are an alternative to aviation biofuel.
