  3. Automobile auxiliary power outlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_auxiliary_power...

    The voltage of the power outlet is usually near 12 V DC, and may be elevated between 13.5 V to 15 V while the engine is running. On trucks, the voltage of the power outlet may be near 24 V DC. The 12 V power circuit is protected by a car fuse, often rated at 10 to 20 amperes, which provides 120 to 240 watts of power. Large appliances such as ...

  4. Circuit breaker (overcurrent) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker_(overcurrent)

    Power circuit breakers and medium- and high-voltage circuit breakers used for industrial or electric power systems are designed and tested to ANSI or IEEE standards in the C37 series. For example, standard C37.16 lists preferred frame size current ratings for power circuit breakers in the range of 600 to 5000 amperes.

  5. Growler (electrical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(electrical_device)

    A growler is an electrical device primarily used for testing a motor for shorted coils. A growler consists of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core and connected to a source of alternating current. When placed on the armature or stator core of a motor the growler acts as the primary of a transformer and the armature coils act as the ...

  6. Booster (electric power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_(electric_power)

    In the days of direct current mains, voltage drop along the line was a problem so line boosters were used to correct it. Suppose that the mains voltage was 110 V. Houses near the power station would receive 110 volts but those remote from the power station might receive only 100 V so a line booster would be inserted at an appropriate point to "boost" the voltage.

  7. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

    For power circuits, the color-coding uses the same colors as residential construction, and adds the additional wires used for three-phase systems. Black, Red and Blue are used for hot wires and White is used as the neutral wire in a 120/208 V circuit.

  8. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    A foldback current limiter may also employ a transient delay to avoid lockout and limit localized heating at the short circuit. A switched-mode power supply operating at the current limit with the output short-circuited does not have increased power dissipation in the power transistor(s), so foldback current limiting is an application feature ...

  9. Blocked rotor test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_rotor_test

    It is also known as short-circuit test (because it is the mechanical analogy of a transformer short-circuit test), [1] locked rotor test or stalled torque test. [2] From this test, short-circuit current at normal voltage , power factor on short circuit, total leakage reactance , and starting torque of the motor can be found.
