  2. Zero speed switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_speed_switch

    Zero speed switches (ZSS) also known as Speed Actuating Sensing Switches [1] are used to detect whether a rotating shaft is turning (even at very slow speeds) [2] in various machines, conveyors, power plants, and in industries involving the production of cement, sugar, textiles, paper, etc. Zero speed switches mainly use electromechanical, electronic, or magnetic proximity technologies.

  3. Centrifugal switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_switch

    This switch is mounted inside a rotating body. This can be set to activate or deactivate a circuit as the rpm of device increases or decreases. Centrifugal switches are designed to minimize frictional contact between the rotating speed sensor and the non-rotating switch body. In most cases, this is done by having contact at low speed, which is ...

  4. Transfer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch

    Simplified single line diagram of a single-phase transfer switch to select either 'city' (utility) power or local generator power 3-phase Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a ...

    In 5th Edition, saving throws are explicitly tied to the ability scores, and carry their names, resulting in six categories of saves. A saving throw is performed similarly to a skill check, with a d20 roll result added to the relevant ability modifier and, if applicable, the proficiency bonus. [12]

  6. Motor controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

    A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...

  7. RF switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_switch

    Transfer switches or double pole, double throw (DPDT) switches can serve various purposes. Bypass switches insert or remove a test component from a signal path. Typical application of a 4-port bypass switch. RF CMOS switches are crucial to modern wireless telecommunication, including wireless networks and mobile communication devices.

  8. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    Electrically, a typical "3-way" switch is a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch. By correctly connecting two of these switches together, toggling either switch changes the state of the load from off to on, or vice versa. The switches may be arranged so that they are in the same orientation for off, and contrasting orientations for on. [1]

  9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    Rather than using a mechanical commutator to switch the winding current as in traditional motors, the switched-reluctance motor uses an electronic position sensor to determine the angle of the rotor shaft and solid state electronics to switch the stator windings, which enables dynamic control of pulse timing and shaping.
