  2. Induction regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_regulator

    The three phase induction regulator can be regarded as a wound induction motor. The rotor is not allowed to turn freely and it can be mechanically shifted by means of a worm gear. The rest of the regulator's construction follows that of a wound rotor induction motor with a slotted three-phase stator and a wound three-phase rotor. Since the ...

  3. Quadrature booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_booster

    400 MVA 220/155 kV phase-shifting transformer.. A phase angle regulating transformer, phase angle regulator (PAR, American usage), phase-shifting transformer, phase shifter (West coast American usage), or quadrature booster (quad booster, British usage), is a specialised form of transformer used to control the flow of real power on three-phase electric transmission networks.

  4. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    The vector sum of V R and the voltage drops equals V S, and it is apparent in the diagrams that V S does not equal V R in magnitude or phase angle. Voltage phasor diagrams for a short transmission line serving lagging, in-phase, and leading loads. The diagrams show that the phase angle of current in the line affects voltage regulation ...

  5. Voltage controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_controller

    A Voltage controller thyristor based dimmer rack An electrical schematic for a typical SCR-based light dimmer. A voltage controller, also called an AC voltage controller or AC regulator is an electronic module based on either thyristors, triodes for alternating current, silicon-controlled rectifiers or insulated-gate bipolar transistors, which converts a fixed voltage, fixed frequency ...

  6. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor). [2]

  7. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    In two-pole single-phase motors, the torque goes to zero at 100% slip (zero speed), so these require alterations to the stator such as shaded-poles to provide starting torque. A single phase induction motor requires separate starting circuitry to provide a rotating field to the motor. The normal running windings within such a single-phase motor ...

  8. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

    A three-phase bank of voltage regulators used to control the voltage on long AC power distribution lines. This bank is mounted on a wooden pole structure. Each regulator weighs about 1200 kg and is rated 576 kVA. Three phase wye voltage regulator. Voltage regulators or stabilizers are used to compensate for voltage fluctuations in mains power.

  9. Motor controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

    A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...
