  2. Shunt generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_generator

    Generator separately excited by battery Self exciting generators Series on left, shunt on right. A shunt generator is a type of electric generator in which field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel, and in which the armature supplies both the load current and the field current for the excitation (generator is therefore self excited).

  3. Magnetic flux leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux_leakage

    The basic principle is that the magnetic field "leaks" from the steel at areas where there is corrosion or missing metal. To magnetize the steel, a powerful magnet is used. In an MFL (or Magnetic Flux Leakage) tool, a magnetic detector is placed between the poles of the magnet to detect the leakage field. Analysts interpret the chart recording ...

  4. Water detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_detector

    Most modern leak detection systems developed around the use of a water sensitive cable [1] which can be laid in long lengths and complex patterns around the base of the floor; around the perimeter of rooms; as a "barrier" over which water has to flow; following, tracing or attached directly to lines of water pipes.

  5. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    The most common leak detection method for pipeline operators is called the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This system uses a series of sensors to track data such as pressure, flow rates, temperature, and whether valves are open or closed.

  6. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    Diagram of D'Arsonval/Weston type galvanometer. As the current flows from + terminal of the coil to − terminal, a magnetic field is generated in the coil.This field is counteracted by the permanent magnet and forces the coil to twist, moving the pointer, in relation to the field's strength caused by the flow of current.

  7. Critical field resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_field_resistance

    Critical field resistance is a term that is associated with a shunt DC generator. In a DC shunt generator, the voltage induced across the armature, V a, is directly proportional to the flux acting across it, The flux in a DC generator is directly proportional to the field current, I f. The critical field resistance is defined as the maximum ...

  8. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    A reduced pressure zone device (RPZD, RPZ, or RPZ valve) is a type of backflow prevention device used to protect water supplies from contamination. RPZDs may also be known as reduced pressure principle (RP), reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] reduced pressure zone assemblies (RPZA), [ 3 ] or reduced pressure ...

  9. Leak noise correlator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_noise_correlator

    A leak noise correlator is an electronic device used for Leak Detection and as a leak locator to find leaks in pressurized water or gas lines.. Typically, microphones or acoustic sound sensors are placed in contact with the pipe, at two or more points, to record the sound emitted by a leak (e.g. a hissing noise) somewhere between the points.
