  2. Variable speed fire pump controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_fire_pump...

    Variable Speed Fire Pump Controllers were invented and released with a UL Listing for fire pump service in 2003 by Master Control Systems, Inc. [1] [2] Paragraph 10.5.5 in the 2003 edition of NFPA-20 recognized Variable Speed as an accepted method for operating the fire pump. Then in the NFPA-20 2007 edition, section 10.10 was added to clarify ...

  3. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

    Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...

  4. Zellweger off-peak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zellweger_off-peak

    Zellweger is the brand name of an electric switching device also known as a Ripple Control Receiver used to control off-peak electrical loads such as water heaters by switching these loads OFF over peak energy use times of the day and switching them ON after peak energy use times of the day, hence the term 'off peak' control.

  5. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

  6. Electronic speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speed_control

    An electronic speed control follows a speed reference signal (derived from a throttle lever, joystick, or other manual input) and varies the switching rate of a network of field effect transistors (FETs). [1] By adjusting the duty cycle or switching frequency of the transistors, the speed of the motor is changed. The rapid switching of the ...

  7. Feed forward (control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_forward_(control)

    In systems theory, an open system is a feed forward system that does not have any feedback loop to control its output. In contrast, a closed system uses on a feedback loop to control the operation of the system. In an open system, the output of the system is not fed back into the input to the system for control or operation. [citation needed]

  8. Engine order telegraph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_order_telegraph

    When in Engine Control Room mode the bridge handle sends a telegraph signal to the ECR and the ECR handle controls the set point of the control system. In local control, the remote control system is inactive and the bridge handle sends a telegraph signal to the local control position and the engine is operated by its manual controls in the ...

  9. Goodput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodput

    Transport layer flow control and congestion avoidance: For example, TCP slow start may cause a lower goodput than the maximum throughput. Retransmission of lost or corrupt packets due to transport layer automatic repeat request (ARQ), caused by bit errors or packet dropping in congested switches and routers, is included in the datalink layer or ...
