  2. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

    The rotary converter can be thought of as a motor-generator, where the two machines share a single rotating armature and set of field coils. The basic construction of the rotary converter consists of a DC generator (dynamo) with a set of slip rings tapped into its rotor windings at evenly spaced intervals. When a dynamo is spun the electric ...

  3. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorgenerator

    The motorgenerator set may contain a large flywheel to improve its ride-through; however, consideration must be taken in this application as the motorgenerator will lose speed and may draw a large current when power returns or the circuit-breaker is re-closed. If the speed loss is excessive (the power outage is too long), the re-closure ...

  4. Gramme machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramme_machine

    It was the first generator to produce power on a commercial scale for industry. Inspired by a machine invented by Antonio Pacinotti in 1860, Gramme was the developer of a new induced rotor in form of a wire-wrapped ring ( Gramme ring ) and demonstrated this apparatus to the Academy of Sciences in Paris in 1871.

  5. Dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

    "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

  6. Steam locomotive components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components

    Dynamo / Turbo-generator / Generator Electrical generator driven by a small steam turbine, for the headlight and other locomotive lighting. [3]: 29 Sand dome Holds sand that is directed on to the rail in front of the driving wheels to improve traction, especially in wet or icy conditions or when vegetation is on the line, and on steep gradients.

  7. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    A wiring diagram for parts of an electric guitar, showing semi-pictorial representation of devices arranged in roughly the same locations they would have in the guitar. An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing.

  8. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  9. Third-brush dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-brush_dynamo

    Three-brush dynamo charging circuit A third-brush dynamo was a type of dynamo , an electrical generator , formerly used for battery charging on motor vehicles . It was superseded, first by a two-brush dynamo equipped with an external voltage regulator , and later by an alternator .
