  2. Automobile auxiliary power outlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_auxiliary_power...

    The voltage of the power outlet is usually near 12 V DC, and may be elevated between 13.5 V to 15 V while the engine is running. On trucks, the voltage of the power outlet may be near 24 V DC. The 12 V power circuit is protected by a car fuse, often rated at 10 to 20 amperes, which provides 120 to 240 watts of power. Large appliances such as ...

  3. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    The AC output voltage of a power inverter is often regulated to be the same as the grid line voltage, typically 120 or 240 VAC at the distribution level, even when there are changes in the load that the inverter is driving. This allows the inverter to power numerous devices designed for standard line power.

    1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.

  5. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    When line commutated converters are used, the converter station will require between 40% and 60% of its power rating as reactive power. This can be provided by banks of switched capacitors or by synchronous condensers, or if a suitable power generating station is located close to the static inverter plant, the generators in the power station ...

    This is a list of the power supply systems that are, or have been, used for railway electrification. Note that the voltages are nominal and vary depending on load and distance from the substation. As of 2023 [update] many trams and trains use on-board solid-state electronics to convert these supplies to run three-phase AC traction motors.

  7. Power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

    An external power supply, AC adapter or power brick, is a power supply located in the load's AC power cord that plugs into a wall outlet; a wall wart is an external supply integrated with the outlet plug itself. These are popular in consumer electronics because of their safety; the hazardous 120 or 240 volt main current is transformed down to a ...
