  2. Dimmer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

    This circuit is called a leading-edge dimmer or forward phase dimming. Waveform of the output voltage of a thyristor dimmer set for 60 volts RMS output, with 120 V input. The red trace shows the output device switching on about 5.5 ms after the input (blue) voltage crosses zero.

  3. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

    Leading edge modulation (top plot) uses a reverse sawtooth wave to generate the PWM. The PWM's leading edge is held at the leading edge of the window and the trailing edge is modulated. Trailing edge modulation (middle plot) uses a normal sawtooth wave to generate the PWM. The PWM's trailing edge is fixed and the leading edge is modulated.

  4. Signal edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_edge

    A rising edge (or positive edge) is the low-to-high transition. [1] A falling edge (or negative edge) is the high-to-low transition. [1] In the case of a pulse, which consists of two edges: The leading edge (or front edge) is the first edge of the pulse. The trailing edge (or back edge) is the second edge of the pulse.

  5. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

    The contacts of a 3-way bulb Circuit diagram of a 3-way bulb. A 3-way incandescent bulb has two filaments designed to produce different amounts of light. The two filaments can be activated separately or together, giving three different amounts of light. One common 3-way incandescent bulb is the 50/100/150 W.

  8. Trailing edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing_edge

    The angle between the upper and lower surfaces at the trailing edge is called the trailing edge angle. If the trailing edge angle is zero it is described as a cusped trailing edge. [5] In two-dimensional flow around a uniform wing of infinite span, the slope of the lift curve is determined primarily by the trailing edge angle. The slope is ...

  9. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

    In East and Southeast Asia incandescent bulbs are rare in buildings. Many countries are encouraging the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs and substitution with other types of energy-efficient lamps. In addition to general lighting, special fluorescent lights are often used in stage lighting for film and video production. They are cooler ...
