  2. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, a 500 A, 75 mV shunt would have a resistance of 150 microohm, a maximum allowable current of 500 amps and at that current the voltage drop would be 75 millivolts. By convention, most shunts are designed to drop 50 mV, 75 mV or 100 mV when operating at their full rated current and most ammeters consist of a shunt and a voltmeter ...

    500–1000 μV Miniature endplate potentials, spontaneous fluctuations in neuron potentials [1] 10 −3: 1–2 mV Potential created at ambient temperatures from K Type Thermocouple: Centi-10 −2 ~10–50 mV Ripple voltage in the output of a good DC power supply [9] 75 mV Nerve cell resting potential [10] Deci-10 −1: 320 mV

  4. TL431 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL431

    Upon reaching its threshold (point B), the output transistor begins to conduct (turn on), and the I CA begins rising at a rate of around 30 mA/V. [9] When V REF exceeds the threshold by around 3 mV, and I CA reaches 500–600 μA (point C), transconductance sharply jumps to 1.0–1.4 A/V. [9] Above this point the TL431 operates in its normal ...

  5. Current sense amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sense_amplifier

    They utilize a "current-sense resistor" to convert the load current in the power rail to a small voltage, which is then amplified by the current-sense amplifiers. The currents in the power rail can be in the range of 1 A to 20 A, requiring the current-sense resistor to be a resistor typically in the range of 1 to 100 mΩ.

  6. Variable shunt reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_shunt_reactor

    The rating of a VSR can be changed in steps: the maximum regulation range depends on the capability of the on-load tap changer used in combination with the regulation winding used for the shunt reactor. The maximum regulation range has increased over the years, [1] from 50%, up to 80% at some voltage levels. [2]

  7. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

    Line regulation or input regulation is the degree to which output voltage changes with input (supply) voltage changes—as a ratio of output to input change (for example, "typically 13 mV/V"), or the output voltage change over the entire specified input voltage range (for example, "plus or minus 2% for input voltages between 90 V and 260 V, 50 ...

  8. Ayrton shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton_shunt

    Ayrton shunt switching principle. The Ayrton shunt or universal shunt is a high-resistance shunt used in galvanometers to increase their range [1] without changing the damping. [2] The circuit is named after its inventor William E. Ayrton. [3] Multirange ammeters that use this technique are more accurate than those using a make-before-break ...

  9. NEMA contact ratings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_contact_ratings

    NEMA contact ratings are how much current at a rated voltage a relay or other pilot device can switch. The current rating of smaller NEMA contactors or their auxiliaries are defined by NEMA ICS 5: Industrial Control and Systems, Control Circuit and Pilot Devices [1] standard. The nomenclature is a letter followed by a three-digit number, the ...
