A feeder that runs through a freezer?

Ha, good one. Bet Infinity will know.

The only thing I can guess at is that cold is often used as a term for de-energized.

How that applies here, IDK exactly.

The backup feeder in a redundant feeder scenario?

Think industrial plant that has two sources of incoming utility power but stays on one continuously (the 'main' source) and only switches to the other for certain situations, such as an outage or 'main' is down for adjustment and/or maintenance.

Or the backup is their own generator feeding the transfer switch?

Could be? Interpretation is quite subjective. :happyyes:

And then there's "fever starve."

Or is it "cold starve" and "fever feed?"

I've heard of cold sequencing a main gear or distribution center if that's what you are referring to

There is a practice in some circles, rarer now, of referring to "line and neutral" as "hot and cold". Lots of people still use the term "hot" for a line, but I rarely hear the neutral referred to as a "cold" wire now. But when I started in the late 70s, that was more common. So someone might still be using that in that manner, especially if working with an MWBC. Still just a guess though.

My sister, the nurse, once told me (decades ago) to put the two "F's" together, meaning "feed a fever." But I am not confident that this is good medical practice; it may be just a good mnemonic.

Actually, it is best to not starve oneself ever, but especially when sick.

Not even a good mnemonic.

Feed a cold, starve a fever is the old wives tale.
