Ting (alarm)
Ting (stylized "ting") is a proactive domestic voltage monitor, alarm, and app. The tall 2.5 oblong off-white device monitors the home's electrical system for micro-arcs (or scintillations) 30 million times per second for the cumulative precursor events of an electrical house fire. Such events, and those of interest to both homeowners and electrical utilities, include degrading electrical insulation, short circuits, grid arcing, loose or arcing transformer connections, power outages, surges, and brown-outs, and electric motors near their end of life (sump pumps, radon Radon is a chemical element; it has symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive noble gas and is colorless and odorless. Of the three naturally occurring radon isotopes, only Rn has a sufficiently long half-life (3.825 days) for it to b ... mitigation fans, etc.) Ting can also detect failing startup capacitors used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, distribution grid fault ...

Voltage
Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension, is the difference in electric potential between two points. In a Electrostatics, static electric field, it corresponds to the Work (electrical), work needed per unit of Electric charge, charge to move a positive Test particle#Electrostatics, test charge from the first point to the second point. In the SI unit, International System of Units (SI), the SI derived unit, derived unit for voltage is the ''volt'' (''V''). The voltage between points can be caused by the build-up of electric charge (e.g., a capacitor), and from an electromotive force (e.g., electromagnetic induction in a Electric generator, generator). On a macroscopic scale, a potential difference can be caused by electrochemical processes (e.g., cells and batteries), the pressure-induced piezoelectric effect, and the thermoelectric effect. Since it is the difference in electric potential, it is a physical Scalar (physics ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
