Most often used in American automobiles; 12-volt cigarette lighter receptacle and plug, size B. Receptacle inside diameter: 21.41–21.51 mm (median 21.455 mm) Plug body diameter: 21.13–21.33 mm (median 21.18 mm) Most often used in European automobiles, and sometimes as a second socket in American automobiles expressly for DC power connections.
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 ...
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.
1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.
The Chrysler TEVan, also known as the Dodge Caravan Electric or Plymouth Voyager Electric, was a battery electric vehicle produced from 1993 to 1995 by Chrysler, based on the contemporary gasoline-powered second generation Chrysler minivans, and sold primarily to electric utilities throughout the United States.
Schematic of an inverter using a vibrator as a chopper. In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly.
The engine was especially suited for transverse applications in Chrysler's minivans, but was also used in a longitudinal front-wheel-drive setup on 1993-1997 LH platform cars. It was last used in 2010 for Chrysler minivans before the introduction of the new 3.6 L Pentastar engine for the 2011 model year.
This was a Chrysler adaptation of the Mercedes 722.6 (the 722.6 was an adaptation of the ZF 5HP30). The A580 was first labelled as the NAG1. Commonly found in the 300, Magnum, Charger, Challenger, WK/WK2/WD Grand Cherokee and Durango (through 2013), Wrangler, and some Dodge Ram pickups.
