Breakout

1) A joint where a conductor or conductors breaks out from a multi-conductor cable to complete circuits at various points along the main cable. The rest of the conductors continue on within the jacket. The breakout may itself be jacketed and the joint sealed. Actually, the joint itself is the breakout. 2) A breach in the skin of a continuously cast billet or bloom, following exit from the mold. This condition allows for the draining of the liquid steel above the failure into the spray chamber.
