  2. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    In electrical engineering, isolated-phase bus (IPB), also known as phase-isolated bus (PIB) in some countries, is a method of construction for circuits carrying very large currents, typically between a generator and its step-up transformer in a steam or large hydroelectric power plant. Isolated phase bus during installation at the Bui Dam Ghana.

  3. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are ...

  4. Synchronous impedance curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_impedance_curve

    The name "synchronous impedance curve" is due to the fact that in the short-circuit condition all the generated voltage dissipates across the generator internal synchronous impedance . [2] The curve is obtained by rotating the generator at the rated RPM with the output terminals shorted and the output current going to 100% of the rated for the ...

  6. ANSI device numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_device_numbers

    In Electrical Power Systems and Industrial Automation, ANSI Device Numbers can be used to identify equipment and devices in a system such as relays, circuit breakers, or instruments. The device numbers are enumerated in ANSI/ IEEE Standard C37.2 "Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations" .

  7. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    Alternating current ( AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction. Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences, and it is the form of electrical energy ...

  8. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactances_of_synchronous...

    the sub-transient state is the one the generator enters immediately after the fault (short circuit). In this state the armature flux is pushed completely out of the rotor. The state is very brief, as the current in the damper winding quickly decays allowing the armature flux to enter the rotor poles only. The generator goes into transient state;

  9. Passive sign convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_sign_convention

    The passive sign convention arbitrarily defines power flowing into the component ( out of the circuit) as positive, [2] so passive components have "positive" power flow. In an AC ( alternating current) circuit, the current and voltage switch direction with each half-cycle of the current, but the definitions above still apply.
