The effect of a time-varying electric field, which induces a magnetic field just as the motion of electrical charges does. display device Any device that displays data from an information system, such as a watch readout or an automatic scoreboard. dissipation The loss of energy in a system, such as dielectric loss in a capacitor. dissolved gas ...
In electrical engineering, coil winding is the manufacture of electromagnetic coils.Coils are used as components of circuits, and to provide the magnetic field of motors, transformers, and generators, and in the manufacture of loudspeakers and microphones.
The ends of the wire are brought out and attached to an external circuit. Windings may have additional electrical connections along their length; these are called taps. [7] A winding that has a single tap in the center of its length is called center-tapped. [8] Coils can have more than one winding, insulated electrically from each other.
In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1] The armature windings conduct AC even on DC machines, due to the commutator action (which periodically reverses current direction) or due to electronic commutation, as in brushless DC motors .
Electrical engineering – Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design and application of equipment, devices and systems which use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Electrical circuit – an electrical network consisting of a closed loop, giving a return path for the current.
In electrical engineering, the word bifilar describes wire which is made of two filaments or strands. It is commonly used to denote special types of winding wire for transformers. Wire can be purchased in bifilar form, usually as different colored enameled wire bonded together. For three strands, the term trifilar coil is used.
The winding material must have a low resistance, to reduce the power consumed by the field coil, but more importantly to reduce the waste heat produced by resistive heating. Excess heat in the windings is a common cause of failure. Owing to the increasing cost of copper, aluminium windings are increasingly used. [citation needed]
A transformer supplying a three-wire distribution system has a single-phase input (primary) winding. The output (secondary) winding has a center tap connected to a grounded neutral. As shown in Fig. 1, either end to center has half the voltage of end-to-end. Fig. 2 illustrates the phasor diagram of the output voltages for a split-phase transformer.
