  2. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    Aircraft often use 400 Hz power internally, so 50 Hz or 60 Hz to 400 Hz frequency conversion is needed for use in the ground power unit used to power the airplane while it is on the ground. Conversely, internal 400 Hz internal power may be converted to 50 Hz or 60 Hz for convenience power outlets available to passengers during flight.

  3. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

    The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.

  4. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    Unlike a VFD, which is an indirect frequency changer since it uses an AC-DC stage and then a DC-AC stage, a cycloconverter is a direct frequency changer because it uses no intermediate stages. Another application is in the aerospace and airline industries. Often airplanes use 400 Hz power so a 50 Hz or 60 Hz to 400 Hz frequency converter is ...

  6. Armature Controlled DC Motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_Controlled_DC_Motor

    A motor requiring a DC power supply for operation is termed a DC motor. DC motors are widely used in control applications like robotics, tape drives, machines and many more. Separately excited DC motors are suitable for control applications because of separate field and armature circuit. [1] Two ways to control DC separately excited motors are ...

  7. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    Some electric railway systems also use DC power and thus make use of power electronics to feed grid power to the locomotives and often for speed control of the locomotive's motor. In the middle twentieth century, rectifier locomotives were popular, these used power electronics to convert AC power from the railway network for use by a DC motor. [38]

  8. Brushed DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_DC_electric_motor

    A brushed DC electric motor is an internally commutated electric motor designed to be run from a direct current power source and utilizing an electric brush for contact. Brushed motors were the first commercially important application of electric power to driving mechanical energy, and DC distribution systems were used for more than 100 years ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry_in_Nigeria

    Automotive industry in Nigeria dates back to the 1950s and consists of the production of passenger cars and commercial trucks. [2] Early production was led by the assembly line of Bedford TJ trucks made by United Africa Company's subsidiary, Federated Motors Industries and SCOA's production of Peugeot 404 pickup trucks.
