  2. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    The values of the resistors are selected such that R 1 gives the highest load resistance, R 1 ||R 2 gives the nominal load resistance and either R 1 ||R 2 ||R 3 or R 2 ||R 3 gives the lowest load resistance. A voltmeter is then connected in parallel to the resistors and the measured values of voltage for each load state can be used to calculate ...

  3. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Parallel resistance is illustrated by the circulatory system. Each organ is supplied by an artery that branches off the aorta. The total resistance of this parallel arrangement is expressed by the following equation: 1/R total = 1/R a + 1/R b + ... + 1/R n. R a, R b, and R n are the resistances of the renal, hepatic, and other arteries ...

  4. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    The load line diagram at right is for a resistive load in a common emitter circuit. The load line shows how the collector load resistor (R L) constrains the circuit voltage and current. The diagram also plots the transistor's collector current I C versus collector voltage V CE for different values of base current I base.

  5. Voltage transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer

    The circuit diagram for a simple capacitor voltage transformer In its most basic form, the device consists of three parts: a two capacitor voltage divider across which the transmission line, an inductive element to tune the device to the line frequency, and a voltage transformer to isolate and further step down the voltage for metering devices ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    Then the V R, full load is given by +. The effects of this modulation on voltage magnitude and phase angle is illustrated using phasor diagrams that map V R, V S, and the resistive and inductive components of V line drop. Three power factor scenarios are shown, where (a) the line serves an inductive load so the current lags receiving end ...

  7. Voltage divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider

    The output voltage of a voltage divider will vary according to the electric current it is supplying to its external electrical load. The effective source impedance coming from a divider of Z 1 and Z 2, as above, will be Z 1 in parallel with Z 2 (sometimes written Z 1 // Z 2), that is: (Z 1 Z 2) / (Z 1 + Z 2) = HZ 1.

  8. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

    In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as Voltage, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

  9. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    A bridge circuit is a topology of electrical circuitry in which two circuit branches (usually in parallel with each other) are "bridged" by a third branch connected between the first two branches at some intermediate point along them. The bridge was originally developed for laboratory measurement purposes and one of the intermediate bridging ...
