RE: Sticking?

The term "Sticking" sounds unfamiliar to me. Is it s slang word? or non-technical word for transmission line earthing? You may be correct. This is to correct my own ignorance. I am not familiar with this term.

Similarly, you may be aware of the term "DIRTY BUS" which is referring to the switchboard with loads injecting lot of harmonics and unbalance components.

RE: Sticking?

Something which periodically jams or doesn't operate freely? A little more context would help.

'Hot stick' working perhaps?

RE: Sticking?

SPIKE Tool is a safety tool designed for the sole purpose of providing a lineman with positive assurance that the cable is safe to cut.
Unlike overhead electric power distribution systems, underground cable systems cannot be visually traced back to an open point to ensure the cable is isolated. Once a cable enters the ground it is lost from sight.

RE: Sticking?

"stiction" in electromechanical relays? Relay maloperation can lead to loss of local control.

In order to answer "what real is" you might need to go to philosophy-tips.com
