2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   The AC output voltage of a power inverter is often regulated to be the same as the grid line voltage, typically 120 or 240 VAC at the distribution level, even when there are changes in the load that the inverter is driving. This allows the inverter to power numerous devices designed for standard line power.

3. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   Consumer electronics usually include an AC adapter (a type of power supply) to convert mains-voltage AC current to low-voltage DC suitable for consumption by microchips. Consumer voltage converters (also known as "travel converters") are used when traveling between countries that use ~120 V versus ~240 V AC mains power.

4. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   Circuits for lighting and small appliance power outlets use 120 V circuits connected between one line and neutral. High-demand applications, such as ovens, are often powered using 240 V AC circuits—these are connected between the two 120 V AC lines.

5. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.

6. Rotary phase converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_phase_converter

   A common measure of the quality of the power produced by an RPC or any phase converter is the voltage balance, which may be measured while the RPC is driving a balanced load such as a three-phase motor. Other quality measures include the harmonic content of the power produced and the power factor of the RPC motor combination as seen by the ...

7. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   An induction generator or asynchronous generator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator that uses the principles of induction motors to produce electric power. Induction generators operate by mechanically turning their rotors faster than synchronous speed.
