  2. Autotransformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransformer

    Variable transformer – part of Tektronix 576 Curve Tracer. By exposing part of the winding coils and making the secondary connection through a sliding brush, a continuously variable turns ratio can be obtained, allowing for very smooth control of output voltage. The output voltage is not limited to the discrete voltages represented by actual ...

  3. Linear variable differential transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_variable...

    Cutaway view of an LVDT. Current is driven through the primary coil at A, causing an induction current to be generated through the secondary coils at B.. The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) – also called linear variable displacement transformer, [1] linear variable displacement transducer, [2] or simply differential transformer [3] – is a type of electrical transformer [4 ...

    Circuit symbols; Transformer with two windings and iron core. ... A variable-frequency transformer is a specialized three-phase power transformer which allows the ...

  5. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    Transformer: sometimes changed to "L" for inductor TUN: Tuner: U, IC: Integrated circuit (IC) shorter "U" (unit) is preferred instead of "IC" V: Vacuum tube: VR: Voltage regulator (voltage reference), or variable resistor (potentiometer / trimmer / rheostat) voltage regulators are often "U" for IC, pots and trimmers often "R" for resistor X

  6. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...

  7. Rotary variable differential transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_variable...

    The transformer has a rotor which can be turned by an external force. The transformer acts as an electromechanical transducer that outputs an alternating current (AC) voltage proportional to the angular displacement of its rotor shaft. In operation, an alternating current (AC) voltage is applied to the transformer primary to energize the RVDT.

  8. Variable-frequency transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_transformer

    A variable-frequency transformer is a doubly fed electric machine resembling a vertical shaft hydroelectric generator with a three-phase wound rotor, connected by slip rings to one external power circuit. The stator is connected to the other. With no applied torque, the shaft rotates due to the difference in frequency between the networks ...

  9. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

    Generally, static VAR compensation is not done at line voltage; a bank of transformers steps the transmission voltage (for example, 230 kV) down to a much lower level (for example, 9.0 kV). [5] This reduces the size and number of components needed in the SVC, although the conductors must be very large to handle the high currents associated with ...
