  2. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    A simple voltage dropper can be used to reduce the voltage for low-power devices; if more than 12V is required, or for high-powered devices, a switched-mode power supply is used. The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters ...

  3. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

    Basic parts of an outboard motor. An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft.

  4. Buck–boost transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck–boost_transformer

    Buck–boost transformers can be used to power low voltage circuits including control, lighting circuits, or applications that require 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts, consistent with the design's secondaries. The transformer is connected as an isolating transformer and the nameplate kVA rating is the transformer’s capacity. [2]

  5. Flyback transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_transformer

    Unlike conventional transformers, a flyback transformer is not fed with a signal of the same waveshape as the intended output current. A convenient side effect of such a transformer is the considerable energy that is available in its magnetic circuit. This can be exploited using extra windings to provide power to operate other parts of the ...

  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. 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 ...

  8. 47-foot Motor Lifeboat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47-foot_Motor_Lifeboat

    The boat's hull and superstructure are constructed entirely from 5456 marine grade aluminum. [3] Designed with a hard chined deep "V" planing hull , [ 8 ] the 47′ MLB exceeds its hull speed . The frame is composed of 17 vertical bulkhead frames, each of which is welded to the deck and hull, and five of which are watertight.

  9. Rotary transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_transformer

    The transformer for the head drum shown to the right couples six individual channels. Another use is to transmit the signals from rotary torque sensors installed on electric motors, to allow electronic control of motor speed and torque using feedback. Because they are transformers, rotary transformers can only pass AC, not DC, power and signals ...
