An example of synchroscope operation on a hydroelectric generator. Synchroscopes are used in any power plant that connects to an outside electrical grid and also in isolated plants containing more than one generator. Each generator must be synchronized with the others before being connected to the plant bus. If line voltages are unequal when ...
In a generator, the mechanical torque applied to the shaft maintains the motion of the armature winding through the stationary magnetic field, inducing a current in the winding. In both the motor and generator case, the commutator periodically reverses the direction of current flow through the winding so that current flow in the circuit ...
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.
The linear generator consists of a sliding rare-earth magnet which moves back and forth through the center of a solenoid (a coil of copper wire) when it is shaken. A current is induced in the loops of wire by Faraday's law of induction each time the magnet slides through, which charges the capacitor through a rectifier and other circuitry.
An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
A simple on-off switch: The two terminals are either connected together or disconnected from each other. An example is a light switch. SPST-NO. Form A [4] Single pole, single throw, normally open A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally disconnected (open) and are closed when the switch is activated. An example is a pushbutton ...

IEC 60417-5007, [6] the power-on symbol (line), appearing on a button or one end of a toggle switch indicates that the control places the equipment into a fully powered state. (1 or | means on.) IEC 60417-5008, [7] the power-off symbol (circle) on a button or toggle, indicates that using the control will disconnect power to the device. (0 or ...
