  2. Voltage reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_reduction

    Voltage reduction has become another option for utilities to reduce demand—typically unbeknownst to the customer. However, only the resistive portion of the load responds to the reduction in voltage to reduce aggregate demand. Loads such as incandescent lights and heater coils will use less power as the voltage is lowered.

  3. Voltage divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider

    In this case, a voltage divider with an output ratio of 3.3/5 might be used to reduce the 5 V signal to 3.3 V, to allow the circuits to interoperate without damaging the 3.3 V circuit. For this to be feasible, the 5 V source impedance and 3.3 V input impedance must be negligible, or they must be constant and the divider resistor values must ...

  4. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    A simple voltage dropper can be used to reduce the voltage for low-power devices; if more than 12V is required, or for high-powered devices, a switched-mode power supply is used. The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters ...

  5. Buck converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter

    To reduce voltage ripple, filters made of capacitors (sometimes in combination with inductors) are normally added to such a converter's output (load-side filter) and input (supply-side filter). [2] Its name derives from the inductor that “bucks” or opposes the supply voltage.

  6. Voltage optimisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_optimisation

    Voltage optimisation is a term given to the systematic controlled reduction in the voltages received by an energy consumer to reduce energy use, power demand and reactive power demand. While some voltage 'optimisation' devices have a fixed voltage adjustment, others electronically regulate the voltage automatically.

  7. Voltage drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_drop

    The simplest way to reduce voltage drop is to increase the diameter of the conductor between the source and the load, which lowers the overall resistance. In power distribution systems, a given amount of power can be transmitted with less voltage drop if a higher voltage is used. More sophisticated techniques use active elements to compensate ...

    A capacitor voltage transformer, or capacitive voltage transformer uses a capacitive voltage divider to reduce the line voltage before applying it to an ordinary electromagnetic transformer. capacitor voltage transformer

  9. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

    A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.
