Dielectric lossIn electrical engineering, dielectric loss quantifies a dielectric material's inherent dissipation of electromagnetic energy (e.g. heat). It can be parameterized in terms of either the loss angle δ or the corresponding loss tangent tan(δ). Both refer to the phasor in the complex plane whose real and imaginary parts are the resistive (lossy) component of an electromagnetic field and its reactive (lossless) counterpart.
ÉlectrotechniqueL’électrotechnique se rapporte . Elle concerne par exemple la production, le transport, la distribution, le traitement, la transformation, la gestion et l’utilisation de l’énergie électrique. Parfois appelée « génie électrique », elle remonte à l'invention, en 1600, par William Gilbert, d'un électromètre permettant de déterminer la présence des charges électriques, et à l'invention, en 1672, par Otto von Guericke, d'un générateur électrostatique permettant de séparer des charges électriques à l'aide d'une machine.
TelegraphyTelegraphy is the long-distance transmission of messages where the sender uses symbolic codes, known to the recipient, rather than a physical exchange of an object bearing the message. Thus flag semaphore is a method of telegraphy, whereas pigeon post is not. Ancient signalling systems, although sometimes quite extensive and sophisticated as in China, were generally not capable of transmitting arbitrary text messages. Possible messages were fixed and predetermined and such systems are thus not true telegraphs.
Mineral-insulated copper-clad cableMineral-insulated copper-clad cable is a variety of electrical cable made from copper conductors inside a copper sheath, insulated by inorganic magnesium oxide powder. The name is often abbreviated to MICC or MI cable, and colloquially known as pyro (because the original manufacturer and vendor for this product in the UK was a company called Pyrotenax). A similar product sheathed with metals other than copper is called mineral insulated metal sheathed (MIMS) cable.
