    to test rotors in rotating frequency changers, as well as in wound rotors; to test shorts between turns in taped coils before installation into an armature or a stator; as a low voltage isolation transformer; as a high voltage autotransformer bucking or boosting for numerous tests on various types of equipment; for preheating or baking ...

  3. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    In electrical engineering, isolated-phase bus (IPB), also known as phase-isolated bus (PIB) in some countries, is a method of construction for circuits carrying very large currents, typically between a generator and its step-up transformer in a steam or large hydroelectric power plant. Isolated phase bus during installation at the Bui Dam Ghana ...

  4. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    A load bank is a piece of electrical test equipment used to simulate an electrical load, to test an electric power source without connecting it to its normal operating load. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] During testing, adjustment, calibration, or verification procedures, a load bank is connected to the output of a power source, such as an electric generator ...

  5. Ground support equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_support_equipment

    Ground support equipment (GSE) is the support equipment found at an airport, usually on the apron, the servicing area by the terminal. This equipment is used to service the aircraft between flights. As the name suggests, ground support equipment is there to support the operations of aircraft whilst on the ground. The role of this equipment ...

  6. Ground continuity monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_continuity_monitor

    A GCM or ground continuity monitor (also called a ground integrity monitor or ground continuity tester) is an electrical safety device that monitors the impedance to ground of a temporary electrical circuit and can provide indication (or protective trip) in the event impedance rises to an unsafe value. A GCM is either an external testing device ...

  7. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are synchronized.

  8. Load dump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_dump

    failure of supply to equipment or customers; large voltage spikes from the inductive generator(s) In automotive electronics, it refers to the disconnection of the vehicle battery from the alternator while the battery is being charged. Due to such a disconnection of the battery, other loads connected to the alternator experience a surge in the ...

  9. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

    When the machine or motor is used as a motor, this EMF opposes the armature current, and the armature converts electrical power to mechanical power in the form of torque, and transfers it via the shaft. When the machine is used as a generator, the armature EMF drives the armature current, and the shaft's movement is converted to electrical power.
