Home Dictionary Name: conductorNeutral conductor
Neutral conductor, means that conductor of a multi-wire system, the voltage of which is normally intermediate between the voltages of the other conductors of the system and shall also include return wire of the single phase system. [Indian Electricity Rules, 1956, R. 2 (1) (ad)]...
Conductor's licence

Conductor
Conductor, in relation to a stage carriage, means a person engaged in collecting fares from passengers, regulating their entrance into, or exit from, the stage carriage and performing such other functions as maybe prescribed. [Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (59 of 1988), s. 2 (5)]Means any wire, cable, bar, tube, rail or plate used for conducting energy and so arranged as to be electrically connected to a system.

Actio conducti
Actio conducti, an action resulting from a contract called locatio conductio which enables the conductor to enforce the duties of the locator. There are three forms of locatio conductio and accordingly the object of the actio conducti varies: (1) locatio conductio rei) locator agrees, in consideration of money payment, to let conductor have the use, or the use and fruits, of a thing); (2) locatio conductio operarum (locator agree, in consideration of a money payment to supply conductor with a certain amount of labour); (3) locatio conductio operis (conductor agrees, in consideration of a money payment, to supply locator with a certain result of labour), Civil Law. See also ACTION LOCATI....
Cable
Cable [fr. cabl, Welsh; cabel, Dut.], the grate rope of a ship, to which the anchor is fastened. The proof and sale of chain cables and anchors, formerly regulated by the (English) Chain Cable and Anchors Acts, 1864, 1871, and 1874 (27 & 28 Vict. c. 27), (34 & 35 Vict. c. 101), and (37 & 38 Vict. c. 51) (see Chitty's Statutes, tit. 'Shipping'), are now regulated by the (English) Consolidating Anchors and Chain Cables Act, 1899 (62 & 63 Vict. c. 23), which simplifies and amends the law by providing more elaborate tests, the Schedule containing which takes the place of Rules of the Board of Trade, by which Board, however, it can be altered from time to time.Means a length of insulated single conductor (solid or stranded or of two or more such conductors, each provided with its own insulation, which are laid up together. Such insulated conductor or conductors may or may not be provided with an overall mechanical protective covering. [Indian Electricity Rules, 1956, R. 2 (1) (g)]...
Concentric cable
Concentric cable, mans a composite cable comprising an inner conductor which is insulated and one or more outer conductors which are insulated from one another and are disposed over the insulation of, and more or less around, the inner conductor....
Coherer
Any device in which an imperfectly conducting contact between pieces of metal or other conductors loosely resting against each other is materially improved in conductivity by the influence of Hertzian waves so called by Sir O J Lodge in 1894 on the assumption that the impact of the electic waves caused the loosely connected parts to cohere or weld together a condition easily destroyed by tapping A common form of coherer as used in wireless telegraphy consists of a tube containing filings usually a pinch of nickel and silver filings in equal parts between terminal wires or plugs called conductor plugs...
electric current
the movement of electrically charged particles atoms or ions through solids liquids gases or free space the term is usually used of relatively smooth movements of electric charge through conductors whether constant or variable Sudden movements of charge are usually referred to by other terms such as spark or lightning or discharge In metallic conductors the electric current is usually due to movement of electrons through the metal The current is measured as the rate of movement of charge per unit time and is counted in units of amperes As a formal definition the direction of movement of electric current is considered as the same as the direction of movement of positive charge or in a direction opposite to the movement of negative charge Electric current may move constantly in a single direction called direct current abbreviated DC or may move alternately in one direction and then the opposite direction called alternating current abbreviated AC...
Sideflash
A disruptive discharge between a conductor traversed by an oscillatory current of high frequency as lightning and neighboring masses of metal or between different parts of the same conductor...
Circuit
Circuit, means an arrangement of conductor or conductors for the purpose of conveying energy and forming a system or a branch of a system. [Indian Electricity Rules, 1956, R. 2 (1) (h)]A judicial division in which hearings occur at several locations, as a result of which judges often travel to different court-houses....
