  2. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Shihlin Electric MCCB with SHT. A thermalmagnetic circuit breaker, which is the type found in most distribution boards in Europe and countries with a similar wiring arrangement, incorporates both techniques with the electromagnet responding instantaneously to large surges in current (such as short circuits) and the bimetallic strip ...

  3. Hydraulic analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy

    In this case, electric potential is equivalent to pressure. The voltage (or voltage drop or potential difference) is a difference in pressure between two points. Electric potential is usually measured in volts. Electric current is equivalent to a hydraulic volume flow rate; that is, the

  4. Electro-hydraulic actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-hydraulic_actuator

    Here, small valves were attached to the original control cables, controlling the flow of oil into an associated actuator connected to the control surface. One of the earliest fittings of a hydraulic boost system was to ailerons on late-war models of the P-38L, removing the need for great human strength to achieve a higher rate of roll. [2]

  5. Magnetic Thermodynamic Systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Thermodynamic_Systems

    In thermodynamics and thermal physics, the theoretical formulation of magnetic systems entails expressing the behavior of the systems using the Laws of Thermodynamics. Common magnetic systems examined through the lens of Thermodynamics are ferromagnets and paramagnets as well as the ferromagnet to paramagnet phase transition. It is also ...

  6. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    The control signal is relatively low in energy and may be voltage, electric current, pneumatic, or hydraulic fluid pressure, or even human power [clarification needed]. [3] In the electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic sense, it is a form of automation or automatic control .

  7. Motor controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

    A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...

  8. Electrohydraulic servo valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrohydraulic_servo_valve

    A servo valve receives pressurized hydraulic fluid from a source, typically a hydraulic pump. It then transfers the fluid to a hydraulic cylinder in a closely controlled manner. Typically, the valve will move the spool proportionnaly to an electrical signal that it receives, indirectly controlling flow rate.

  9. Thermo-magnetic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermo-magnetic_motor

    These systems operate in a magnetic Brayton cycle, in a reverse way of the magnetocaloric refrigerators. [8] Experiments have produced only extremely inefficient working prototypes, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] however, thermodynamic analysis indicate that thermomagnetic motors present high efficiency related to Carnot efficiency for small temperature ...
