  2. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

  3. 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.

  4. Relay logic - Wikipedia

    A number strip would be peeled out and wrapped around the wire near the end. Wire numbers were made up of a series of the number strips so wire 1051 would be four strips. There are also pocket sized printers that print onto an adhesive backed label that can be wrapped around the wire. The basic format for relay logic diagrams is as follows: 1.

  5. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    An illustration of a solenoid Magnetic field created by a seven-loop solenoid (cross-sectional view) described using field lines Magnetic field demonstration with solenoid-shaped insulated wire and iron filings. A solenoid (/ ˈ s oʊ l ə n ɔɪ d / [1]) is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire whose length is substantially ...

  6. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    Hydraulic solenoid valves are in general similar to pneumatic solenoid valves except that they control the flow of hydraulic fluid (oil), often at around 3000 psi (210 bar, 21 MPa, 21 MN/m 2). Hydraulic machinery uses solenoids to control the flow of oil to rams or actuators. Solenoid-controlled valves are often used in irrigation systems ...

  7. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    An actuator can be just a mechanism that is directly driven by the motions or forces of other parts of the system. An example is the camshafts that drive the intake and exhaust valves in internal combustion engines, driven by the engine itself.

  8. ASCO Power Technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCO_Power_Technologies

    ASCO's headquarters is located in Florham Park, New Jersey. With over 1400 employees and 500,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space, it is the world's largest manufacturer of power transfer switches. ASCO Power Technologies was founded in 1888 and developed the first commercially available automatic transfer switch in 1920.

  9. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type electric motor with a solenoid and solenoid operated switch mounted on it. When low-current power from the starting battery is applied to the starter solenoid, usually through a key-operated switch, the solenoid closes high-current contacts for the starter motor and it starts to ...
