  2. McCabe–Thiele method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCabe–Thiele_method

    For example, if the feed is a saturated liquid, q = 1 and the slope of the q-line is infinite (drawn as a vertical line). As another example, if the feed is saturated vapor, q = 0 and the slope of the q-line is 0 (a horizontal line). [2] The typical McCabe–Thiele diagram in Figure 1 uses a q-line representing a partially vaporized feed.

  3. Earth-leakage circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    This may lead to ground faults on variable speed drives between the drive electronics and motor not being detected for example. Disadvantages of voltage-sensing devices over current-sensing: A wire break in the fault to load section, or in the earth to ground section, will disable operation of the devices.

  4. Electromagnetic compatibility - Wikipedia

    This helps for example to harmonize national standards across Europe. International standards organizations include: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which has several committees working full-time on EMC issues. These are: Technical Committee 77 (TC77), working on electromagnetic compatibility between equipment including networks.

  5. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

    A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

  6. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    For example, a circuit breaker with a 400 ampere frame size might have its over-current detection threshold set only 300 amperes where that rating is appropriate. For low-voltage distribution circuit breakers an international standard, IEC 60898-1, defines rated current as the maximum current that a breaker is designed to carry continuously.

  7. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Common circuit diagram symbols (US ANSI symbols) 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 ...

  8. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

    Diagram of a Hall MHD generator showing current flows. The typical solution has been to use the Hall effect to create a current that flows with the fluid. (See illustration.) This design has arrays of short, segmented electrodes on the sides of the duct. The first and last electrodes in the duct power the load.

  9. Anderson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_rule

    Anderson's rule is used for the construction of energy band diagrams of the heterojunction between two semiconductor materials. Anderson's rule states that when constructing an energy band diagram, the vacuum levels of the two semiconductors on either side of the heterojunction should be aligned (at the same energy). [1]
