  3. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

  4. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, [1] [2] such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home. The term may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit. This is opposed to a power supply source, such as a battery or generator, which provides power. [2]

  5. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial ...

  6. Circuit breaker (overcurrent) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker_(overcurrent)

    Ambient temperature affects the time delay but does not affect the current rating of a magnetic breaker. [12] A large power circuit breaker, such as one applied in circuits of more than 1000 volts, may incorporate hydraulic elements in the contact operating mechanism. Hydraulic energy may be supplied by a pump or stored in accumulators.

  7. Transient recovery voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_Recovery_Voltage

    Examples of TRV waveshapes. A transient recovery voltage (TRV) for high-voltage circuit breakers is the voltage that appears across the terminals after current interruption. It is a critical parameter for fault interruption by a high-voltage circuit breaker, its characteristics (amplitude, rate of rise) can lead either to a successful current interruption or to a failure (called reignition or ...

  8. Pre-charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-charge

    If the example circuit from before is used with a pre-charge circuit which limits the dV/dT to less than 600 volts per second, then the inrush current will be reduced from 670 amperes to 7 amperes. This is a "kinder and gentler" way to activate a high voltage DC power distribution system.

  9. Joule heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

    The current continues to flow to the second electrode and back to the power source to close the circuit. [10] The insulator caps around the electrodes controls the environment within the system. [10] The electrical field strength and the residence time are the key process parameters which affect heat generation. [11]
