Company Profile:
An electric current induced by radiant energy.
Industry:Energy
An electric current taking a shorter or different path than intended.
Industry:Energy
An electric generator consists of an armature and a field structure. The armature carries the wire loop, coil, or other windings in which the voltage is induced, whereas the field structure produces the magnetic field. In small generators, the armature is usually the rotating component (rotor) surrounded by the stationary field structure (stator). In large generators in commercial electric power plants the situation is reversed. In a wind energy conversion device, the blades and rotating components.
Industry:Energy
An electric motor rated at less than one horse power (hp).
Industry:Energy
An electrical conductor that serves as a common connection for two or more electrical circuits; may be in the form of rigid bars or stranded conductors or cables.
Industry:Energy
An electrical conductor/cable that carries electricity from a generator to other locations for distribution.
Industry:Energy
An electrical device for converting alternating current to direct current. The chamber in a cooling device where water is separated from the working fluid (for example ammonia).
Industry:Energy
An electrical device that adjusts the leading current of an applied alternating current to balance the lag of the circuit to provide a high power factor.
Industry:Energy
An electrical device that resists electric current flow.
Industry:Energy
An electrical generator that runs at a constant speed and draws its excitation from a power source external or independent of the load or transmission network it is supplying.
