2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Sine wave. A power inverter device that produces a multiple step sinusoidal AC waveform is referred to as a sine wave inverter. To more clearly distinguish the inverters with outputs of much less distortion than the modified sine wave (three-step) inverter designs, the manufacturers often use the phrase pure sine wave inverter.

3. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

   Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

4. Wireless power transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer

   When the phone is set on the pad, a coil in the pad creates a magnetic field [1] which induces a current in another coil, in the phone, charging its battery. Generic block diagram of a wireless power system. Wireless power transfer (WPT; also wireless energy transmission or WET) is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a

5. Direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

   These were initially set up to power arc lighting (a popular type of street lighting) running on very high voltage (usually higher than 3,000 volts) direct current or alternating current. [8] This was followed by the widespread use of low voltage direct current for indoor electric lighting in business and homes after inventor Thomas Edison ...

6. AC power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

   The unit for power is the watt (symbol: W). Apparent power is often expressed in volt-amperes (VA) since it is the product of RMS voltage and RMS current. The unit for reactive power is var, which stands for volt-ampere reactive. Since reactive power transfers no net energy to the load, it is sometimes called "wattless" power.

7. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ [1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2]
