  2. Rotating biological contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_biological_contactor

    A schematic cross-section of the contact face of the bed media in a rotating biological contactor (RBC) [7] The rotating packs of disks (known as the media) are contained in a tank or trough and rotate at between 2 and 5 revolutions per minute. Commonly used plastics for the media are polyethylene, PVC and expanded polystyrene. The shaft is ...

  3. Contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor

    AC contactor for pump application. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. [1] A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.

  4. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    Especially valuable is the method of referencing and annotating cables plus their connectors within and outside assemblies. Examples: 1A1A44J5 - Unit 1, Assembly 1, Sub-Assembly 44, Jack 5 (J5 is a connector on a box referenced as A44) 1A1A45J333 - Unit 1, Assembly 1, Sub-Assembly 45, Jack 333 (J333 is a connector on a box referenced as A45)

  5. Mercury relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_relay

    A mercury relay (mercury displacement relay, mercury contactor) is a relay that uses mercury as the switching element. They are used as high-current switches or contactors , where contact erosion from constant cycling would be a problem for conventional relay contacts.

  6. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    Schematic for an electromechanical relay showing a coil, four pair of normally open and one pair of normally closed contacts The National Association of Relay Manufacturers and its successor, the Relay and Switch Industry Association define 23 distinct forms of electrical contact found in relays and switches.

  7. Arc suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_suppression

    An electronic power contact arc suppressor attached in parallel across the contact of a relay or contactor (Fig. 1 of issued patent U.S. 8,619,395 B2) The circuit diagram is part of an issued patent for an electronic power contact arc suppressor intended to protect the contacts of electrical relays or contactors. It suppresses arcs by providing ...

  8. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  9. DC injection braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_injection_braking

    The braking current decays, and after a delay of about 1.5 seconds the braking relay contactor opens again. At this point the motor can be restarted. In such a unit, there are typically two potentiometers, one to vary the braking torque from the firing circuit and the other to vary the timer. These settings are balanced so that braking torque ...
