  2. Programmable load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_load

    Most commercial DC loads are equipped with microprocessor front end circuits that allow the user to not only program a desired current through the load ('constant current' or CC), but the user can alternatively program the load to have a constant resistance (CR) or constant power dissipation (CP).

  3. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

  4. Power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

    Power electronics is the application of electronics to the control and conversion of electric power. The first high-power electronic devices were made using mercury-arc valves . In modern systems, the conversion is performed with semiconductor switching devices such as diodes , thyristors , and power transistors such as the power MOSFET and IGBT .

    Brush Electric Company's central power plant with dynamos generating direct current to power arc lamps for public lighting in New York. Beginning operation in December 1880 at 133 West Twenty-Fifth Street, the high voltages it operated at allowed it to power a 2-mile (3.2 km) long circuit.

  6. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, [1] [2] such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home. The term may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit. This is opposed to a power supply source, such as a battery or generator, which provides power. [2]

  7. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

    Essentially, a chopper is an electronic switch that is used to interrupt one signal under the control of another. In power electronics applications, since the switching element is either fully on or fully off, its losses are low and the circuit can provide high efficiency. However, the current supplied to the load is discontinuous and may ...
