  2. Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(power)

    For reference, about 10,000 100-watt lightbulbs or 5,000 computer systems would be needed to draw 1 MW. Also, 1 MW is approximately 1360 horsepower. Modern high-power diesel-electric locomotives typically have a peak power of 3–5 MW, while a typical modern nuclear power plant produces on the order of 500–2000 MW peak output.

  3. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    For example, the letter R is a reference prefix for the resistors of an assembly, C for capacitors, K for relays. Industrial electrical installations often use reference designators according to IEC 81346.

    GE L250 Series, 6- and 8-cylinder marine engines for propulsion and electric generator usage [8] PowerHaul series. GE PowerHaul P616, 16-cylinder engine used in GE PowerHaul series locomotives. [9] V228 (formerly 7FDM) (Bore 9"/228.6mm, stroke 10.5"/266.7 [10])

  6. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

    A 200 kW Caterpillar diesel generator set in a sound attenuated enclosure used as an emergency backup at a sewage treatment substation in Atlanta, United States. A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel GenSet) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. [1]

  7. Impulse generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_generator

    An impulse generator is an electrical apparatus which produces very short high-voltage or high-current surges. Such devices can be classified into two types: impulse voltage generators and impulse current generators.

    The Byron Clean Energy Center is a nuclear power plant located in Ogle County, Illinois, 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the Rock River.The reactor buildings were constructed by Commonwealth Edison and house two Westinghouse Four-Loop [2] pressurized water reactors, Unit 1 and Unit 2, which began operation in September 1985 and August 1987 respectively.

  9. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    Metric prefixes have also been used with some non-metric units. The SI prefixes are metric prefixes that were standardised for use in the International System of Units (SI) by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in resolutions dating from 1960 to 2022. [1] [2] Since 2009, they have formed part of the ISO/IEC 80000 standard.
