  2. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    The ratio of the voltage bases on either side of a transformer is selected to be the same as the ratio of the transformer voltage ratings. With these two rules, a per-unit impedance remains unchanged when referred from one side of a transformer to the other. This allows the ideal transformer to be eliminated from a transformer model.

  3. Lamp rerating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamp_rerating

    The following equations can be used to estimate the new operating point. The exact value of the exponent parameters will typically vary slightly with the particular lamp design. V a = Applied voltage V d = Design voltage. Rerated current = (V a /V d) 0.55 × current at design voltage [1]

  4. Power rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rating

    Average power calculation rating depends on some assumptions about how the device is going to be used. For example, the EIA rating method for loudspeakers uses a shaped noise signal that simulates music and allows peak excursion of 6 dB, so an EIA rating of 50 Watts corresponds to 200 Watts peak rating. [6]

  5. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Most modern North American homes are wired to receive 240 volts from the transformer, and through the use of split-phase electrical power, can have both 120 volt receptacles and 240 volt receptacles. The 120 volts is typically used for lighting and most wall outlets. The 240 volt circuits are typically used for appliances requiring high watt ...

  6. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.

  7. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    Distribution transformers typically have ratings less than 200 kVA, [3] although some national standards allow units up to 5000 kVA to be described as distribution transformers. Since distribution transformers are energized 24 hours a day (even when they don't carry any load), reducing iron losses is vital in their design. They usually don't ...

  8. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    For example, wall switches intended to control incandescent lamps will have a "T" rating, indicating that they can safely control circuits with the large inrush currents of incandescent lamps. The inrush may be as much as 14 times the steady-state current and may persist for a few milliseconds for smaller lamps up to several seconds for lamps ...

  9. High-leg delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-leg_delta

    Center-tapped delta transformer Center-tapped delta transformer voltages. High-leg delta service is supplied in one of two ways. One is by a three-phase transformer (or three single-phase transformers), having four wires coming out of the secondary, the three phases, plus a neutral connected as a center-tap on one of the windings.
