2. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

   A generator interlock kit (or a transfer switch), eliminates the need for extension cords to power appliances. [2]Like a transfer switch, an interlock kit lets the generator energize the panel and all of its circuits (up to the load capacity of the generator); not just corded appliances.

3. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   The switches may be arranged so that they are in the same orientation for off, and contrasting orientations for on. [1] A "4-way" (intermediate) switch is a purpose built double pole, double throw (DPDT) switch, internally wired in manufacture to reverse the connections between the input and output and having only four external terminals. This ...

4. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

   A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. It consists of a cylinder composed of multiple metal contact segments on the rotating armature of the machine.

5. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

   Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...

6. 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 ...

7. Standby generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

   Standby generators. A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. [1] Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. The standby generator begins supplying power to the circuits. [2]

8. Dahlander pole changing motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahlander_pole_changing_motor

   In 1897 he invented an electrical configuration to switch between poles in a motor for which he was granted a patent along with his co-worker Karl Arvid Lindström. The new connection was named the "Dahlander connection" and a motor having such a configuration is commonly referred to as a "pole changing motor" or a "Dahlander motor". [4] [5]

9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

   The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .
