  2. Bus duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_duct

    Feeder busway is used to interconnect equipment, such as between a transformer and a switchgear line up. A variant type is a low-impedance busway, which is designed to have lower voltage drop by virtue of close spacing of bus bars, which reduces inductive reactance. A trolley busway provides power to equipment that must be frequently moved.

  3. Local field potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_field_potential

    The low impedance and positioning of the electrode allows the activity of a large number of neurons to contribute to the signal. The unfiltered signal reflects the sum of action potentials from cells within approximately 50-350 μm from the tip of the electrode [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and slower ionic events from within 0.5–3 mm from the tip of the ...

  4. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it. [2]

  5. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The input impedance of an infinite line is equal to the characteristic impedance since the transmitted wave is never reflected back from the end. Equivalently: The characteristic impedance of a line is that impedance which, when terminating an arbitrary length of line at its output, produces an input impedance of equal value. This is so because ...

  6. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

    Stubs can match a load impedance to the transmission line characteristic impedance. The stub is positioned a distance from the load. This distance is chosen so that at that point, the resistive part of the load impedance is made equal to the resistive part of the characteristic impedance by impedance transformer action of the length of the main ...

  7. Short circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit

    The leakage reactance (usually about 5 to 10% of the full load impedance) helps limit both the magnitude and rate of rise of the fault current. Short-circuiting a 3000 farad supercapacitor through an iron nail resulted in a 1000 amperes current. This caused the iron nail to melt, eject sparks, and eventually break, becoming an open circuit.

  8. Ground bounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_bounce

    A similar voltage sag phenomenon may be seen on the collector side, called supply voltage sag (or V CC sag), where V CC is pulled unnaturally low. As a whole, ground bounce is a major issue in nanometer range technologies in VLSI. Ground bounce can also occur when the circuit board has poorly designed ground paths.

  9. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    The actual output impedance for most devices is not the same as the rated output impedance. A power amplifier may have a rated impedance of 8 ohms, but the actual output impedance will vary depending on circuit conditions. The rated output impedance is the impedance into which the amplifier can deliver its maximum amount of power without failing.
