  2. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  3. IEC 60309 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60309

    IEC 60309 (formerly IEC 309 and CEE 17, also published by CENELEC as EN 60309) is a series of international standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for "plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes".

  4. Autolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autolite

    The origins of Autolite are traced to 1911, when Electric Autolite was founded. The company produced generators to power early day buggy lamps. In 1927, Electric Autolite acquired the Prest–O–Lite Battery Company, which produced automotive batteries, from The Union Carbide Corporation .

  5. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    In the case of an electric actuator, losing power will keep the valve stationary unless there is a backup power supply. A typical representative of the valves to be automated is a plug-type control valve. Just like the plug in the bathtub is pressed into the drain, the plug is pressed into the plug seat by a stroke movement.

  6. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

    An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug(s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron ...

  7. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

    Spark plug lifespan was increased to at least 50,000 miles and points lifespan was greatly extended from 8,000 miles to at least 60,000 miles. Points lifespan became a factor of rubbing block (cam follower) wear and the life cycle of the spring with some lasting almost 100,000 miles. The Hyland unit was tolerant of varied points gaps.

  8. Motor control center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control_center

    A motor control center (MCC) is an assembly to control some or all electric motors in a central location. It consists of multiple enclosed sections having a common power bus and with each section containing a combination starter, which in turn consists of motor starter , fuses or circuit breaker , and power disconnect .

  9. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

    A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module (PCM or ECM).
