  2. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity.

  3. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines.

  4. Control engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_engineering

    Control systems play a critical role in space flight.. Control engineering or control systems engineering or Automation engineering (In Some European Countries) is an engineering discipline that deals with control systems, applying control theory to design equipment and systems with desired behaviors in control environments. [1]

  5. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

    In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...

  6. Electronic speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speed_control

    Most electric model trains are powered by electricity transported by the rails or by an overhead wire to the vehicle and so the electronic speed control does not have to be on board. This is however not the case for model trains with digital steering systems allowing multiple trains to run on the same track with different speed at the same time.

  7. Cut, copy, and paste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste

    The earliest editors (designed for teleprinter terminals) provided keyboard commands to delineate a contiguous region of text, then delete or move it. Since moving a region of text requires first removing it from its initial location and then inserting it into its new location, various schemes had to be invented to allow for this multi-step process to be specified by the user.

  8. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Step down chopper Step up chopper Range of output voltage: 0 to V volts: V to +∞ volts Position of chopper switch: In series with load: In parallel with load Expression for output voltage: VL dc = D × V volts: V o = V/(1 – D) volts External inductance: Not required: Required for boosting the output voltage Use: For motoring operation, for ...

  9. Voltage multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier

    A voltage multiplier is an electrical circuit that converts AC electrical power from a lower voltage to a higher DC voltage, typically using a network of capacitors and diodes. Voltage multipliers can be used to generate a few volts for electronic appliances, to millions of volts for purposes such as high-energy physics experiments and ...
