  2. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    Per-unit system. In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to the other.

  3. Voltage drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_drop

    In electronics, voltage drop is the decrease of electric potential along the path of a current flowing in a circuit. Voltage drops in the internal resistance of the source, across conductors, across contacts, and across connectors are undesirable because some of the energy supplied is dissipated. The voltage drop across the load is proportional ...

  4. Passive sign convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_sign_convention

    The convention. [edit] The passive sign convention states that in components in which the conventional current variable i is defined as entering the device through the terminal which is positive as defined by the voltage variable v, [ 2 ][ 4 ] the power p and resistance r are given by [ 5 ][ 6 ][ 7 ] and. In components in which the current i is ...

    Low voltage. 50 to 1,000. 120 to 1,500. Electrical shock. Extra-low voltage. < 50. < 120. Electrical fire. International Standard IEC 60038, IEC standard voltages, defines a set of standard voltages for use in low voltage and high voltage AC and DC electricity supply systems.

  6. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

    The voltage changes due to the transition from line-to-line to line-to-earth, typically reducing a 22 kV grid to 12.7 kV SWER or a 33 kV grid to 19.1 kV SWER. The SWER line is a single conductor that may stretch for tens or even hundreds of kilometres, with a number of distribution transformers along its length.

    where u, v, and m are respectively the ultimate efficiency factor, the ratio of open-circuit voltage V op to band-gap voltage V g, and the impedance matching factor (all discussed above), and V c is the thermal voltage, and V s is the voltage equivalent of the temperature of the Sun. Letting t s be 1, and using the values mentioned above of 44% ...

  9. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    Mathematics of three-phase electric power. One voltage cycle of a three-phase system, labeled 0 to 360° (2π radians) along the time axis. The plotted line represents the variation of instantaneous voltage (or current) with respect to time. This cycle repeats with a frequency that depends on the power system.
