  2. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

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

    The SCR can be calculated for each point on an electrical grid. A point on a grid having a number of machines with an SCR above a number between 1 and 1.5 has less vulnerability to voltage instability. Hence, such a grid is known strong grid or power system. A power system (grid) having a lower SCR has more vulnerability to grid voltage ...

  3. Short circuit ratio (synchronous generator) - Wikipedia

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

    low SCR: in case of a short circuit, the current is proportional to SCR, therefore generators with low SCR require less protection and thus are cheaper; low SCR allows shorter air gap and lower excitation field, both decreasing the size (an cost) of the generator; with low SCR the amounts of iron and copper are reduced, lowering the cost; high SCR:

  4. 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").

  5. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    A simple SCR circuit with a resistive load. A simple SCR circuit can be illustrated using an AC voltage source connected to a SCR with a resistive load. Without an applied current pulse to the gate of the SCR, the SCR is left in its forward blocking state. This makes the start of conduction of the SCR controllable.

  6. Unijunction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unijunction_transistor

    The schematic diagram symbol for a unijunction transistor represents the emitter lead with an arrow, showing the direction of conventional current when the emitter-base junction is conducting a current. A complementary UJT uses a p-type base and an n-type emitter, and operates the same as the n-type base device but with all voltage polarities ...

  7. List of free electronics circuit simulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_electronics...

    List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE.The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.

  8. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  9. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

    A non-ideal DC voltage waveform can be viewed as a composite of a constant DC component (offset) with an alternating (AC) voltage—the ripple voltage—overlaid. The ripple component is often small in magnitude relative to the DC component, but in absolute terms, ripple (as in the case of HVDC transmission systems) may be thousands of volts.
