  2. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

    When overheating, the temperature of the part rises above the operating temperature. Overheating can take place: if heat is produced in more than expected amount (such as in cases of short-circuits, or applying more voltage than rated), or; if heat dissipation is poor, so that normally produced waste heat does not drain away properly.

  3. Chrysler RFE transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_RFE_transmission

    The 45RFE was introduced in the Jeep Grand Cherokee in 1999, it is notable for including three planetary gearsets rather than the two normally used in a 4-speed automatic. It also features three multiple disc input clutches, three multiple disc holding clutches, and a dual internal filter system (one primary filter for transmission sump, one for the fluid cooler return system).

  4. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    A sudden fail-open fault can cause multiple secondary failures if it is fast and the circuit contains an inductance; this causes large voltage spikes, which may exceed 500 volts. A broken metallisation on a chip may thus cause secondary overvoltage damage. [1] Thermal runaway can cause sudden failures including melting, fire or explosions.

  5. High resistance connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_resistance_connection

    A high-resistance connection (HRC) is a hazard that results from loose or poor connections in traditional electrical accessories and switchgear which can cause heat to develop, capable of starting a fire. [1] Glowing connections occur when relatively high current exists in a relatively large resistance object. Heat comes from power dissipation ...

  6. Thermal management (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management...

    Generic supplemental/spot cooling techniques, as well as turnkey cooling solutions developed by equipment manufacturers are viable solutions. Such solutions could allow very high heat release equipment to be housed in a central office that has a heat density at or near the cooling capacity available from the central air handler.

  7. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    Phase-change cooling is an extremely effective way to cool the processor. A vapor compression phase-change cooler is a unit that usually sits underneath the PC, with a tube leading to the processor. Inside the unit is a compressor of the same type as in an air conditioner. The compressor compresses a gas (or mixture of gases) which comes from ...

  8. Joule heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

    Joule heating is caused by interactions between charge carriers (usually electrons) and the body of the conductor.. A potential difference between two points of a conductor creates an electric field that accelerates charge carriers in the direction of the electric field, giving them kinetic energy.

  9. Overheating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating

    Overheating may refer to: Overheating (economics) , a rapid, very big growth of production that is thought to have a negative influence Overheating (electricity) , unexpected rise of temperature in a portion of electrical circuit, that can cause harm to the circuit, and accidents
