  2. Centrifugal switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_switch

    In aircraft, a centrifugal switch is used to control the starting and ignition circuits, the governed speed indication circuit and the overspeed protection circuit of the auxiliary power unit. This switch is mounted inside a rotating body. This can be set to activate or deactivate a circuit as the rpm of device increases or decreases ...

  3. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    The motor will not work properly if the centrifugal switch is broken. If the switch is always open, the start capacitor is not part of the circuit, so the motor does not start. If the switch is always closed, the start capacitor is always in the circuit, so the motor windings will likely burn out.

  4. Contact protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_protection

    This can also occur during the open-to-close (MAKE) transition due to contact bounce. The electric arc occurs between the contact points (electrodes) both during the transition from closed to open (BREAK) and from open to closed (make) when the contact gap is small and the voltage is high enough. Heating due to arcing and high current density ...

  5. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) mercury switch on millimetre graph paper, device length approximately 1.5 cm Another mercury switch design. A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic ...

  6. Transistor fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_fault

    Transistor Fault model is a Fault model used to describe faults for CMOS logic gates. At transistor level, a transistor may be stuck-short or stuck-open. In stuck-short, a transistor behaves as it is always conducts (or stuck-on), and stuck-open is when a transistor never conducts current (or stuck-off).

  9. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally disconnected (open) and are closed when the switch is activated. An example is a pushbutton switch. SPST-NC Form B [4] Single pole, single throw, normally closed A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally connected together (closed) and are open when the switch is activated.
