  electrical conductor
Most non-metals are poor conductors; however, there are exceptions such as plasma.
The electrons in conductors lie in a so-called conduction band that, in an energy diagram, sits on top of the valence band.
A material can be an electrical conductor without being a thermal conductor, although most metals are both.

  Electrical conductor terminating arrangements - Patent 5548088
An electrical conductor terminating arrangement as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that the collet comprises a split tubular metal part which has a conductor-receiving end, with said tubular metal part adapted to be radially inwardly compressed to make good electrical contact with the conductor.
An electrical conductor terminating arrangement as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that said terminating arrangement includes a pin contact and in which the split tubular metal part (31) is formed integrally with said pin contact at an end of the split tubular metal part remote from the conductive compressible clamping means.
An electrical conductor terminating arrangement as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that the clamping means comprises a sleeve member and the collet has a split frusto-conical section (33) that is engaged by said sleeve.

 Method of manufacturing flexible electrical conductor - Patent 4079510
Disclosed is an electrical conductor formed from a plurality of elongate filaments, at least a portion of which have a non-circular cross section, the filaments arranged such that the conductor has a substantially smooth exterior surface and high density of material of the filaments in a cross section through the conductor perpendicular to its axis.
It is a further object to provide such a conductor, and such a method, conductive to the provision of electrical conductor having improved mechanical and/or electrical properties compared to conventionally produced conductor of equivalent current rating.
Preferably, the electrically conductive material is copper; a plurality of electrically conductive lengths are electrodeposited on one or more cathodes at the same time; the lengths are then bunched so as to produce a flexible conductor.

 Electrical conductor - Information from Reference.com
For the purpose of electronics and electrical engineering, materials are classified according to their electrical resistance, which describes how readily they allow electric current to pass when a voltage is applied.
Conductors are usually surrounded by and/or supported by insulators and the insulation determines the maximum voltage that can be applied to any given conductor.
If an electric field is applied to a material, and the resulting induced electric current is in the same direction, the material is said to be an isotropic electrical conductor.

 Can a laser be used as an electrical conductor between two points that are not in physical contact? If so, is there a ...
Electrical conduction is the net motion of electric charge, and it cannot take place without the motion of matter on some scale.
Alternatively, an extraordinarily strong laser could theoretically have such a high amplitude that its electric field component was strong enough to tear electrons off atoms and directly ionize a completely transparent substance such as the air.
Of course they are not intending the beam to conduct electricity, but it could, for instance, cause lightning to strike an aircraft by providing a slightly conducting path between the ground and an aircraft flying near a charged cloud.

 Basic Electricity - Information resource   (Site not responding. Last check: )
If you sweep one pole of a magnet quickly past an electrical conductor (at a right angle to it), a voltage will be momentarily "induced" in the conductor.
This relationship in basic electricity is the fundamental operating principle of a generator.
Electrical engineers state the voltage of an AC sine wave as the RMS (root-mean-square), a value equal to the peak value of the sine wave divided by the square root of two, which is approximately 1.414.

 12/18/1997 - Electrical Conductor Identification.
Under paragraph 1910.304(a), a conductor used as a grounded circuit conductor and a conductor used as an equipment grounding conductor must be identifiable and distinguishable from all other conductors.
If a wiring diagram were the only means of identifying these conductors, an employee (to perform work safely) would have to look up the color coding on the each time there is a need to distinguish or identify circuit or equipment conductors each time there is need to identify circuit or equipment conductors.
Faber's fax appears to indicate that a red conductor is used as a grounding conductor.

 FCIC: Indoor Electrical Safety Check - Glossary
A GFCI device will de-energize a circuit when it senses a difference in the amount of electricity passing through the device and returning through the device, or a "leak" of current from the circuit.
- A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental, by which an electric circuit or equipment is connected to the earth, or to some conducting body of relatively large extent that serves in place of the earth.
The third wire, or grounding conductor, provides a path from the frame or housing of grounded electrical appliances back to the circuit breaker panel to permit current flow in event of an electrical fault in the equipment.

 ACSR Electrical Conductor Fretting Fatigue at Spacer Clamps
Overhead electrical conductors are subjected to aeolian vibrations which may induce aluminum wire fatigue breaks at line suspension points and spacer clamps.
The test benches are based on a new design in which a cyclic deflexion amplitude is imposed at the center of the test specimen through an eccentric shaft.
A careful location analysis (both in the conductor cross section and axial direction) has yielded some new results on the cyclic bending behavior of a conductor-clamp system.
