  2. Crowbar (circuit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowbar_(circuit)

    A crowbar circuit is an electrical circuit used for preventing an overvoltage or surge condition of a power supply unit from damaging the circuits attached to the power supply. It operates by putting a short circuit or low resistance path across the voltage output (V o ), like dropping a crowbar across the output terminals of the power supply.

  5. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. A wiring diagram usually gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device.

  6. 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.

    Forrest M. Mims III is an American amateur scientist, [2] magazine columnist, and author of Getting Started in Electronics and Engineer's Mini-Notebook series of instructional books that were originally sold in Radio Shack electronics stores and are still in print.

  8. Braking chopper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_chopper

    This arises, for example, when a magnetized motor is being rotated by an overhauling load and so functions as a generator feeding power to the DC voltage intermediate circuit. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are an application of the chopper principle , using the on-off control of a switching device.

  9. Pulse-forming network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-forming_network

    A disadvantage of simple PFN pulse generators is that because the transmission line must be matched to the load resistance R L to prevent reflections, the voltage stored on the line is divided equally between the load resistance and the characteristic impedance of the line, so the voltage pulse applied to the load is only one-half the power ...
