  2. Two-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_electric_power

    Two-phase power can be derived from a three-phase source using two transformers in a Scott connection: One transformer primary is connected across two phases of the supply. The second transformer is connected to a center-tap of the first transformer, and is wound for 86.6% of the phase-to-phase voltage on the three-phase system.

  3. Polyphase system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphase_system

    One voltage cycle of a three-phase system. A polyphase system (the term coined by Silvanus Thompson) is a means of distributing alternating-current (AC) electrical power that utilizes more than one AC phase, which refers to the phase offset value (in degrees) between AC in multiple conducting wires; phases may also refer to the corresponding terminals and conductors, as in color codes.

  4. Mode (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(electromagnetism)

    Hybrid electromagnetic (HEM) modes, both the electric and magnetic fields have a component in the longitudinal direction. They can be analysed as a linear superposition of the corresponding TE and TM modes. [4]: 550 HE modes, hybrid modes in which the TE component dominates. EH modes, hybrid modes in which the TM component dominates.

  5. High-electron-mobility transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-electron-mobility...

    Cross section of a GaAs/AlGaAs/InGaAs pHEMT Band diagram of GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction-based HEMT, at equilibrium.. A high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT or HEM FET), also known as heterostructure FET (HFET) or modulation-doped FET (MODFET), is a field-effect transistor incorporating a junction between two materials with different band gaps (i.e. a heterojunction) as the channel instead of ...

  6. Phase converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_converter

    An American Rotary Phase Converter with a Transformer. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service.

  7. Linear transformation in rotating electrical machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_transformation_in...

    Transformation of three phase electrical quantities to two phase quantities is a usual practice to simplify analysis of three phase electrical circuits. Polyphase a.c machines can be represented by an equivalent two phase model provided the rotating polyphases winding in rotor and the stationary polyphase windings in stator can be expressed in a fictitious two axes coils.

  8. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

    The self-balancing dynamo is of similar construction to the single- and two-phase rotary converter. It was commonly used to create a completely balanced three-wire 120/240-volt AC electrical supply. The AC extracted from the slip rings was fed into a transformer with a single center-tapped winding. The center-tapped winding forms the DC neutral ...

  9. Loop heat pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_heat_pipe

    A loop heat pipe (LHP) is a two-phase heat transfer device that uses capillary action to remove heat from a source and passively move it to a condenser or radiator.LHPs are similar to heat pipes but have the advantage of being able to provide reliable operation over long distance and the ability to operate against gravity.
