tuumvõrk preferred
  • the major communications lines of a network
  • a high-capacity network that links together other networks of lower capacity. Fibre optic cables are often used to form these links.

backbone network
Usage examples
  • Moreover, the Commission considers that the estimated impact of lifting restrictions on mobile operators on establishing own infrastructures is based on an unrealistic scenario, since: - as noted by the second GSM operator, establishing a fully separated backbone network involves high irrecoverable costs, so that such a duplication would only be implemented progressively, - a fully separated backbone network also involves substantial risks (as in the case of its failure).

  • omavahel ühendatud võrk elektri tarnimiseks tootjatelt tarbijatele
  • elektriseadmete, -liinide ja -rajatiste kogum elektrienergia ülekandmiseks vooluallikast tarbijani
  • interconnection of electrical components (e.g., batteries, resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches, transistors) or a model
  • interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers
elektrivõrk preferred
Usage examples
  • Elektriahel on suletud ahelast koosnev elektrivõrk, mis annab voolule tagasitee.
Good to know
  • Kõik ahelad on elektrivõrgud, kuid mitte kõik elektrivõrgud ei ole ahelad (kuigi suletud ahelata elektrivõrke nimetatakse sageli „ahelateks“).

electrical network preferred
Usage examples
  • An electrical circuit is a electrical network consisting of a closed loop, giving a return path for the current.
Good to know
  • All circuits are networks, but not all networks are circuits (although networks without a closed loop are often imprecisely referred to as "circuits").
