Feeders are commonly used to supply power to or from a radio antenna. A feeder can be a pair of parallel wires with closely controlled spacing (twin-wire feeder), or a single wire inside a hollow cylindrical conductor (coaxial feeder.

In Canada the electrical term "feeder" is usually used incorrectly as a substitution for the terms wire or conductor. It is correctly defined is, any portion of an electrical circuit between the service box or other source of supply and the branch circuit over current devices.

In the U.S. of A, a feeder definition taken directly from the National Electrical Code: All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.
