  2. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    An electrical ground system should have an appropriate current-carrying capability to serve as an adequate zero-voltage reference level. In electronic circuit theory, a "ground" is usually idealized as an infinite source or sink for charge, which can absorb an unlimited amount of current without changing its potential. Where a real ground ...

  3. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering ...

  4. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

    In electrical engineering, ground and neutral (earth and neutral) are circuit conductors used in alternating current (AC) electrical systems. The neutral conductor receives and returns alternating current to the supply during normal operation of the circuit; to limit the effects of leakage current from higher-voltage systems, the neutral ...

  5. Floating ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_ground

    Electrical equipment may be designed with a floating ground for one of several reasons. One is safety. For example, a low-voltage DC power supply, such as a mobile phone charger, is connected to the mains through a transformer of one type or another, and there is no direct electrical connection between the current return path on the low-voltage side and physical ground (earth).

  6. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    It is numbered with a stylized flag symbol surrounding the number (or sometimes a delta symbol). A general note applies generally and is not called out with flags. 2. Find number: "FN" meaning "find number" refers to the ordinal number that gives an ID tag to one of the constituents in a parts list (list of materials, bill of materials).

  7. Glossary of electrical and electronics engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_electrical_and...

    Electrical engineering uses "j" to represent the imaginary unit "i", to prevent confusion with the symbol for current. =. Jedlik's dynamo An early form of electric generator using electromagnets. JFET A field effect transistor with a reverse-biased PN junction between gate and channel. jitter

  8. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
