  3. Traction substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_substation

    A traction substation, traction current converter plant, rectifier station or traction power substation (TPSS) is an electrical substation that converts electric power from the form provided by the electrical power industry for public utility service to an appropriate voltage, current type and frequency to supply railways, trams (streetcars) or ...

  4. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    A single-phase, three-winding converter transformer. The converter transformers step up the voltage of the AC supply network. Using a star-to-delta or "wye-delta" connection of the transformer windings, the converter can operate with 12 pulses for each cycle in the AC supply, which eliminates numerous harmonic current components. The insulation ...

    Homelite Super XL 12 automatic Chainsaw. Homelite Corporation is an American power equipment manufacturer, i.e. (chainsaws, leafs blowers, trimmers), that became notable for being one of the largest post-World War II manufacturers of portable electrical generators and professional and consumer level chainsaws, as well as holding the distinction of producing the world's first one-man operated ...

  6. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

    At each transformer, such as a customer's premises, current flows from the line, through the primary coil of a step-down isolation transformer, to earth through an earth stake. From the earth stake, the current eventually finds its way back to the main step-up transformer at the head of the line, completing the circuit . [ 3 ]

  7. 15 kV AC railway electrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_kV_AC_railway...

    Lines of this type are used in Germany to supply electric railways with single-phase AC at 16.7 hertz. In the substations of the railway, transformers are used to step it down to 15 kV . Railway electrification using alternating current (AC) at 15 kilovolts (kV) and 16.7 hertz (Hz) are used on transport railways in Germany , Austria ...

  8. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers . [ 1 ]

  9. Hydraulic Launch Assist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Launch_Assist

    The HLA system is called a parallel hydraulic hybrid. In parallel systems the original vehicle drive-line remains, allowing the vehicle to operate normally when the HLA system is disengaged. When the HLA is engaged, energy is captured during deceleration and released during acceleration, in contrast to series hydraulic hybrid systems which ...
