  2. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

    A shunt is a device that is designed to provide a low-resistance path for an electrical current in a circuit. It is typically used to divert current away from a system or component in order to prevent overcurrent .

  3. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    A shunt-trip unit appears similar to a normal breaker and the moving actuators are ganged to a normal breaker mechanism to operate together in a similar way, but the shunt trip is a solenoid intended to be operated by an external constant-voltage signal, rather than a current, commonly the local mains voltage or DC. These are often used to cut ...

  4. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    a shunt, the simplest design, uses the main winding for the excitation power; an excitation boost system (EBS) is a shunt design with a separate small generator added to temporarily provide an energy boost when the main coil voltage drops (for example, due to a fault). The boost generator is not rated for permanent operation;

  5. Shunt generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_generator

    Generator separately excited by battery Self exciting generators Series on left, shunt on right. A shunt generator is a type of electric generator in which field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel, and in which the armature supplies both the load current and the field current for the excitation (generator is therefore self excited).

  6. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    The parameters A, B, C, and D differ depending on how the desired model handles the line's resistance (R), inductance (L), capacitance (C), and shunt (parallel, leak) conductance G. The four main models are the short line approximation, the medium line approximation, the long line approximation (with distributed parameters), and the lossless line.

  7. Zener diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

    Shunt regulators are simple, but the requirements that the ballast resistor be small enough to avoid excessive voltage drop during worst-case operation (low input voltage concurrent with high load current) tends to leave a lot of current flowing in the diode much of the time, making for a fairly wasteful regulator with high quiescent power ...
