  2. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    Looking at the Wheatstone bridge circuit shown, the voltage drop on the lower left hand side is V_rtd + V_lead, and on the lower righthand side is V_R3 + V_lead, therefore the bridge voltage (V_b) is the difference, V_rtd − V_R3. The voltage drop due to the lead resistance has been cancelled out. This always applies if R1=R2, and R1, R2 ...

    Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect.

  4. Battery pack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_pack

    Lead-acid automobile battery pack consisting of 28 Optima Yellow Tops Lithium-ion battery pack for Lucid Motors. A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells. [1] [2] They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage and current. The term ...

  5. Comparison of commercial battery types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_commercial...

    Under certain conditions, some battery chemistries are at risk of thermal runaway, leading to cell rupture or combustion. As thermal runaway is determined not only by cell chemistry but also cell size, cell design and charge, only the worst-case values are reflected here. [64]

  6. PT100 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT100

    PT100 or PT-100 may refer to: A type of the Taurus PT92 pistol; A type of resistance thermometer; Panzerfaust, a German anti-tank weapon of World War II

  7. Battery balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_balancing

    Battery balancing and battery redistribution refer to techniques that improve the available capacity of a battery pack with multiple cells (usually in series) and increase each cell's longevity. [1] A battery balancer or battery regulator is an electrical device in a battery pack that performs battery balancing. [ 2 ]

    A Battery: Eveready 742: 1.5 V: Metal tabs H: 101.6 L: 63.5 W: 63.5 Used to provide power to the filament of a vacuum tube. B Battery: Eveready 762-S: 45 V: Threa­ded posts H: 146 L: 104.8 W: 63.5 Used to supply plate voltage in vintage vacuum tube equipment. Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies.

  9. Battery nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_nomenclature

    Standard battery nomenclature describes portable dry cell batteries that have physical dimensions and electrical characteristics interchangeable between manufacturers. The long history of disposable dry cells means that many manufacturer-specific and national standards were used to designate sizes, long before international standards were reached.
