  2. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio...

    The short circuit ratio (SCR) is an indicator of the strength of a network bus about the rated power of a device and is frequently used as a measure of system strength. A higher SCR value indicates a stronger system, meaning that the impact of disturbances on voltage and other variables will be minimized.

  3. Short circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit

    A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes of an electric circuit intended to be at different voltages. This results in an electric current limited only by the Thévenin equivalent resistance of the rest of the network which can cause circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion.

  4. Short-circuit evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation

    Short-circuit evaluation, minimal evaluation, or McCarthy evaluation (after John McCarthy) is the semantics of some Boolean operators in some programming languages in which the second argument is executed or evaluated only if the first argument does not suffice to determine the value of the expression: when the first argument of the AND function evaluates to false, the overall value must be ...

  5. Short-circuit test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_test

    A different form of short-circuit testing is done to assess the mechanical strength of the transformer windings, and their ability to withstand the high forces produced if an energized transformer experiences a short-circuit fault. Currents during such events can be several times the normal rated current.

  6. Race condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

    When the input value A changes from low to high, the circuit outputs a short spike of duration (∆t 1 + ∆t 2) − ∆t 2 = ∆t 1. A race condition or race hazard is the condition of an electronics , software , or other system where the system's substantive behavior is dependent on the sequence or timing of other uncontrollable events ...

  7. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    Java's lambda expressions are just syntactic sugar. Anything that can be written with a lambda expression can be rewritten as a call to construct an instance of an anonymous inner class implementing the interface, [ a ] and any use of an anonymous inner class can be rewritten using a named inner class, and any named inner class can be moved to ...

  8. Short circuit ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio

    Short circuit ratio (or SCR) has multiple meanings: Short circuit ratio (synchronous generator) , a value used to characterize the stability of an electromechanical generator Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) , a metric to characterize the grid strength ("stiffness").

  9. Bushing (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushing_(electrical)

    In electric power, a bushing is a hollow electrical insulator that allows an electrical conductor to pass safely through a conducting barrier such as the case of a transformer or circuit breaker without making electrical contact with it.
