  2. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    Distance relays, also known as impedance relay, differ in principle from other forms of protection in that their performance is not governed by the magnitude of the current or voltage in the protected circuit but rather on the ratio of these two quantities. Distance relays are actually double actuating quantity relays with one coil energized by ...

  3. Power system protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

    Current and voltage transformers to step down the high voltages and currents of the electrical power system to convenient levels for the relays to deal with; Protective relays to sense the fault and initiate a trip, or disconnection, order; Circuit breakers or RCDs to open/close the system based on relay and autorecloser commands

  4. Impedance analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_analogy

    The impedance analogy is a method of representing a mechanical system by an analogous electrical system. The advantage of doing this is that there is a large body of theory and analysis techniques concerning complex electrical systems, especially in the field of filters. [1]

  5. A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Symbolic_Analysis_of...

    Whereas Shannon's approach and framework was abstract and based on mathematics, Nakashima tried to extend the existent circuit theory of the time to deal with relay circuits, and was reluctant to accept the mathematical and abstract model, favoring a grounded approach. [6]

    A measure of impedance mismatch for transmission lines in microwave engineering; the ratio of peak amplitude of a standing wave to its minimum. star-mesh transform A mathematical technique used in circuit analysis. state observer In control theory, that which discovers and reports the internal state of a controlled system. state space ...

  7. Ansible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansible

    Ursula K. Le Guin first used the word ansible in her 1966 novel Rocannon's World. [1] [4] Etymologically, the word was a contraction of answerable, as the device allowed its users to receive answers to their messages in a reasonable amount of time, even over interstellar distances.

  8. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The input impedance of an infinite line is equal to the characteristic impedance since the transmitted wave is never reflected back from the end. Equivalently: The characteristic impedance of a line is that impedance which, when terminating an arbitrary length of line at its output, produces an input impedance of equal value. This is so because ...

  9. Force field (technology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(technology)

    Energy shield from the game Second Life. In speculative fiction, a force field, sometimes known as an energy shield, force shield, energy bubble, or deflector shield, is a barrier produced by something like energy, negative energy, dark energy, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, electric fields, quantum fields, telekinetic fields, plasma, particles, radiation, solid light, magic, or ...
