2. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   A simple voltage dropper can be used to reduce the voltage for low-power devices; if more than 12V is required, or for high-powered devices, a switched-mode power supply is used. The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters ...

3. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   Consumer voltage converters (also known as "travel converters") are used when traveling between countries that use ~120 V versus ~240 V AC mains power. (There are also consumer "adapters" which merely form an electrical connection between two differently shaped AC power plugs and sockets , but these change neither voltage nor frequency.)

4. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   Sometimes, the topology can be changed simply by re-labeling the connections. A 12 V input, 5 V output buck converter can be converted to a 7 V input, −5 V output buck–boost by grounding the output and taking the output from the ground pin. Likewise, SEPIC and Zeta converters are both minor rearrangements of the Ćuk converter.

5. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Utility frequency conversion - if a user in (say) a 50 Hz country needs a 60 Hz supply to power equipment that is frequency-specific, such as a small motor or some electronics, it is possible to convert the frequency by running an inverter with a 60 Hz output from a DC source such as a 12V power supply running from the 50 Hz mains.

6. Jaycar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaycar

   Jaycar was founded when Gary Johnston, a former Dick Smith Electronics employee, purchased John Carr & Co. Pty Ltd. He became managing director of the company. [4]In 2005, Jaycar received negative attention from its imported Taiwanese "Choke-A-Chicken" toy that squawked and flapped its wings when strangled around its neck, [5] [6] described by the RSPCA Queensland as "grossly irresponsible".

7. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

   For this reason, an HVDC converter using IGBTs is usually referred to as a voltage-source converter (or voltage-sourced converter [26]). The additional controllability gives many advantages, notably the ability to switch the IGBTs on and off many times per cycle in order to improve the harmonic performance, and the fact that (being self ...

8. EIAJ connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIAJ_connector

   This is a unique-looking barrel connector, apparently intended for providing a DC output jack (most DC jacks are used for power input).. Possibly available in multiple voltage ranges, the one for voltage classification 2 (3.15 to 6.3 V) has an outside diameter of 4.75 mm and a protruding pin of 2.5 mm diameter.

9. Cycloconverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloconverter

   Topology of blocking mode cycloconverter [1]. A cycloconverter (CCV) or a cycloinverter converts a constant amplitude, constant frequency AC waveform to another AC waveform of a lower frequency by synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate DC link (Dorf 1993, pp. 2241–2243 and Lander 1993, p. 181).
