  2. TRIAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIAC

    When the gate current is discontinued, if the current between the two main terminals is more than what is called the latching current, the device continues to conduct. Latching current is the minimum current that keeps the device internal structure latched in the absence of gate current. The value of this parameter varies with:

  3. Thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor

    The thyristor is a four-layered, three-terminal semiconductor device, with each layer consisting of alternating N-type or P-type material, for example P-N-P-N. The main terminals, labelled anode and cathode, are across all four layers. The control terminal, called the gate, is attached to p-type material near the cathode.

  4. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio...

    The short circuit ratio (SCR) is an indicator of the strength of a network bus about the rated power of a device and is frequently used as a measure of system strength. A higher SCR value indicates a stronger system, meaning that the impact of disturbances on voltage and other variables will be minimized. A strong system is defined as having an ...

  5. Selective catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reduction

    Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) means of converting nitrogen oxides, also referred to as NO x with the aid of a catalyst into diatomic nitrogen (N2), and water (H2O). A reductant, typically anhydrous ammonia (NH3), aqueous ammonia (NH4OH), or a urea (CO (NH2)2) solution, is added to a stream of flue or exhaust gas and is reacted onto a ...

  6. Power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

    A PCs power supply is an example of a piece of power electronics, whether inside or outside of the cabinet. Power electronics is the application of electronics to the control and conversion of electric power. The first high-power electronic devices were made using mercury-arc valves. In modern systems, the conversion is performed with ...

  8. Steel catenary riser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_catenary_riser

    Steel catenary riser. A steel catenary riser (SCR) is a common method of connecting a subsea pipeline to a deepwater floating or fixed oil production platform. SCRs are used to transfer fluids like oil, gas, injection water, etc. between the platforms and the pipelines.

  9. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    Lock (computer science) In computer science, a lock or mutex (from mutual exclusion) is a synchronization primitive that prevents state from being modified or accessed by multiple threads of execution at once. Locks enforce mutual exclusion concurrency control policies, and with a variety of possible methods there exist multiple unique ...
