  2. Full load hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_load_hour

    Full Load hour is a measure of the degree of utilisation of a technical system. [1] [2] [3] Full load hours refer to the time for which a plant would have to be operated at nominal power in order to convert the same amount of electrical work as the plant has actually converted within a defined period of time, during which breaks in operation or partial load operation can also occur.

  3. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Alternating-current electric motors and transformers may draw several times their normal full-load current when first energized, for a few cycles of the input waveform.

  4. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    Load affects the performance of circuits with respect to output voltages or currents, such as in sensors, voltage sources, and amplifiers. Mains power outlets provide an easy example: they supply power at constant voltage, with electrical appliances connected to the power circuit collectively making up the load.

  5. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    In other media, any stream of charged objects (ions, for example) may constitute an electric current. To provide a definition of current independent of the type of charge carriers, conventional current is defined as moving in the same direction as the positive charge flow. So, in metals where the charge carriers (electrons) are negative ...

  6. Short-circuit test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_test

    After reaching the rated current of the HV side, all three instruments reading (Voltmeter, Ammeter, and wattmeter readings) are recorded. The ammeter reading gives the primary equivalent of full load current I L. As the voltage applied for full load current in short circuit test on transformer is quite small compared to the rated primary ...

  7. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    Load regulation is the capability to maintain a constant voltage (or current) level on the output channel of a power supply despite changes in the supply's load (such as a change in resistance value connected across the supply output).

  8. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    V full load is the voltage across the load at the receiving end when the load is connected and current flows in the transmission line. Now V line drop = IZ line is nonzero, so the voltages and the sending and receiving ends of the transmission line are not equal.

  9. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    Current limiting is the practice of imposing a limit on the current that may be delivered to a load to protect the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short-circuit or overload. The term "current limiting" is also used to define a type of overcurrent protective device.
