  2. 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.

  3. General time- and transfer constant analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_time-_and_transfer...

    Transfer constants are low-frequency ratios of the output variable to input variable under different open- and short-circuited active elements. In general, a transfer function (which can characterize gain, admittance, impedance, trans-impedance, etc., based on the choice of the input and output variables) can be written as:

    Transfer of energy between two circuits through the magnetic field that passes through both. inductive output tube A high power, high frequency amplifier tube, in some forms capable of megawatt pulses at hundreds of megahertz. inductor A circuit component with a concentrated inductance; a coil; stores energy in a magnetic field.

  5. Gas metal arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_metal_arc_welding

    Spray transfer GMAW. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to fuse (melt and join).

  6. Transconductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transconductance

    Transconductance (for transfer conductance), also infrequently called mutual conductance, is the electrical characteristic relating the current through the output of a device to the voltage across the input of a device. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. Transadmittance (or transfer admittance) is the AC equivalent of transconductance.

  7. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

    For example, a short circuit is a fault in which a live wire touches a neutral or ground wire. An open-circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by a failure of a current-carrying wire (phase or neutral) or a blown fuse or circuit breaker.

  8. Shielding gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_gas

    Suitable for short circuit, globular, pulse and spray transfer welding. Maximum productivity for thin metals in short-circuiting mode; has lower tendency to burn through than higher-CO 2 mixes and has suitably high deposition rates. C-10 (90% argon/10% CO 2) is common in production environment. Has low spatter and good weld penetration, though ...

  9. Short-circuit inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_inductance

    Short-circuit inductance is one of the parameters that determines the resonance frequency of the magnetic phase synchronous coupling in a resonant transformer and wireless power transfer. Short-circuit inductance is the main component of the current-limiting parameter in leakage transformer applications.
