  2. Contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor

    AC contactor for pump application. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. [1] A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.

  3. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    The units of specific contact resistivity are typically therefore in ohm-square metre, or Ω⋅m 2. When the current is a linear function of the voltage, the device is said to have ohmic contacts . Inductive and capacitive methods could be used in principle to measure an intrinsic impedance without the complication of contact resistance.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    Schematic for an electromechanical relay showing a coil, four pair of normally open and one pair of normally closed contacts The National Association of Relay Manufacturers and its successor, the Relay and Switch Industry Association define 23 distinct forms of electrical contact found in relays and switches.

  6. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

    A measure of the efficiency of filling the space of a machine core or winding; the proportion of active material in any given unit cross section. standing wave ratio A measure of impedance mismatch for transmission lines in microwave engineering; the ratio of peak amplitude of a standing wave to its minimum. star-mesh transform

  8. Mercury relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_relay

    They are used as high-current switches or contactors, where contact erosion from constant cycling would be a problem for conventional relay contacts. Owing to environmental considerations about the toxicity of mercury , mercury relays are mostly obsolete, though modern encapsulated units still have applications.
