  2. Vector group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_group

    The number is in units of 30 degrees. For example, a transformer with a vector group of Dy1 has a delta-connected HV winding and a wye-connected LV winding. The phase angle of the LV winding lags the HV by 30 degrees. Note that the high-voltage (HV) side always comes before the low-voltage (LV) side, regardless of which is the primary winding.

  3. High-voltage switchgear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_switchgear

    750 kV high-voltage switchgear. High-voltage switchgear is any switchgear used to connect or disconnect a part of a high-voltage power system.This equipment is essential for the protection and safe operation, without interruption, of a high voltage power system, and is important because it is directly linked to the quality of the electricity supply.

  4. Transient recovery voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_Recovery_Voltage

    Examples of TRV waveshapes. A transient recovery voltage (TRV) for high-voltage circuit breakers is the voltage that appears across the terminals after current interruption. It is a critical parameter for fault interruption by a high-voltage circuit breaker, its characteristics (amplitude, rate of rise) can lead either to a successful current interruption or to a failure (called reignition or ...

  5. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    The primary winding of the transformer is connected to the high voltage or high current circuit, and the meter or relay is connected to the secondary circuit. Instrument transformers may also be used as an isolation transformer so that secondary quantities may be used without affecting the primary circuitry.

  6. Polarity (mutual inductance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(mutual_inductance)

    A transformer is called "additive" if, conceptually, connecting the high-voltage terminal to the adjacent low-voltage terminal gives a total voltage between the other two terminals that is the sum of the high voltage and low voltage ratings, when the high-voltage winding is excited at rated voltage. The H1 and X2 terminals are physically adjacent.

  7. Recreational vehicle terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle_terms

    High voltage Refers to shore power, generator power or power from a power inverter , which is AC at the standard household voltage and frequency of one's country, used to run air conditioners , televisions and stereo systems , microwave ovens , electrical refrigerators , electric space heaters and electric water heaters.

  8. Growler (electrical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(electrical_device)

    A hacksaw blade is commonly used as a feeler. The alternating magnetic field induced by a shorted armature is strong at the surface of the armature, and when the feeler is lightly touched to the iron core of an armature winding, small currents are induced in the feeler that generate a third alternating magnetic field surrounding the feeler.

  9. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.
