  2. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    The power factor in a single-phase circuit (or balanced three-phase circuit) can be measured with the wattmeter-ammeter-voltmeter method, where the power in watts is divided by the product of measured voltage and current. The power factor of a balanced polyphase circuit is the same as that of any phase. The power factor of an unbalanced ...

  3. Zero power factor curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_power_factor_curve

    The zero power factor curve (also zero power factor characteristic, ZPF, ZPFC) of a synchronous generator is a plot of the output voltage as a function of the excitation current or field using a zero power factor (purely inductive) load that corresponds to rated voltage at rated current (1 p.u.).

  4. LCD projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_projector

    An LCD projector is a type of video projector for displaying video, images or computer data on a screen or other flat surface. It is a modern equivalent of the slide projector or overhead projector .

  5. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    The fixed speed wind turbines without a power converter (also known as "Type 1" and "Type 2" [5]) cannot be used for voltage control. They simply absorb the reactive power (like any typical induction machine), so a switched capacitor bank is usually used to correct the power factor to unity.

  6. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    An inductive load consists of an iron-core reactive element which, when used in conjunction with a resistive load bank, creates a lagging power factor load. Typically, the inductive load will be rated at a numeric value 75% that of the corresponding resistive load such that when applied together a resultant 0.8 power factor load is provided.

  7. Projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projector

    A projector or image projector is an optical device that projects an image (or moving images) onto a surface, commonly a projection screen. Most projectors create an image by shining a light through a small transparent lens , but some newer types of projectors can project the image directly, by using lasers .

  8. Video projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_projector

    A video projector is an image projector that receives a video signal and projects the corresponding image onto a projection screen using a lens system. Video projectors use a very bright ultra-high-performance lamp (a special mercury arc lamp ), Xenon arc lamp , metal halide lamp , LED or solid state blue, RB, RGB or fiber-optic lasers to ...

  9. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

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

    [citation needed] In a traditional grid dominated by synchronous generators, a strong grid with SCR greater than 3.0 will have the desired voltage stability and active power reserves. [4] A weak grid (with SCR values between 2.0 and 3.0 [6]) can exhibit voltage instability and control problems. [5] A grid with SCR below 2.0 is very weak. [6]
