  2. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    Switched-mode power supplies have become widespread in the early twenty-first century; they are smaller and lighter than the once-universal transformer converters, and are often designed to work from AC mains at any voltage between 100 and 250 V. Additionally, because they are typically rectified to operate at a DC voltage, they are minimally ...

  3. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    Flyback converter's transformer works differently, like an inductor. In each cycle, the flyback converter's transformer first gets charged and then releases its energy to the load. Accordingly, the flyback converter's transformer air gap has two functions. It not only determines inductance but also stores energy.

  4. Brush Electrical Machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_Electrical_Machines

    During the last 125 years, various Brush companies (Brush Switchgear, Brush Transformers, Brush Traction and Brush Control Gear) have existed on the Falcon Works site, but throughout this period Brush Electrical Machines Ltd manufacturing generators and motors has always been the largest company. Over 5,000 staff were employed on the site ...

  5. Phase converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_converter

    An American Rotary Phase Converter with a Transformer. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service.

  6. Voltage transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer

    A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), is a transformer used in power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low voltage signal to the actual VT (voltage transformer) used for operating metering/protective relays due to a lower cost than an electromagnetic PT. The circuit diagram for a simple capacitor voltage transformer

  7. DC-to-DC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC-to-DC_converter

    Motorgenerators can convert between any combination of DC and AC voltage and phase standards. Large motorgenerator sets were widely used to convert industrial amounts of power while smaller units were used to convert battery power (6, 12 or 24 V DC) to a high DC voltage, which was required to operate vacuum tube (thermionic valve) equipment.

  8. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    A planar transformer Exploded view: the spiral primary "winding" on one side of the PCB (the spiral secondary "winding" is on the other side of the PCB) Manufacturers either use flat copper sheets or etch spiral patterns on a printed circuit board to form the "windings" of a planar transformer, replacing the turns of wire used to make other ...

  9. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorgenerator

    The motorgenerator set may contain a large flywheel to improve its ride-through; however, consideration must be taken in this application as the motorgenerator will lose speed and may draw a large current when power returns or the circuit-breaker is re-closed. If the speed loss is excessive (the power outage is too long), the re-closure ...
