  2. Maximum transmission unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit

    With the normal untagged Ethernet frame overhead of 18 bytes and the 1500-byte payload, the Ethernet maximum frame size is 1518 bytes. If a 1500-byte IP packet is to be carried over a tagged Ethernet connection, the Ethernet frame maximum size needs to be 1522 bytes due to the larger size of an 802.1Q tagged frame. 802.3ac increases the ...

  3. Chandrapur–Padghe HVDC transmission system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrapur–Padghe_HVDC...

    It connects the coal-fired Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station to the major load centre of Mumbai. The project has a 752 kilometres (467 mi) long bipolar overhead line. The transmission voltage is ±500 kV and the maximum transmission power is 1,500 megawatts. The scheme uses thyristor valves, arranged in a single twelve pulse bridge per pole.

  4. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    A diagram of an electric power system. The transmission system is in blue. Most North American transmission lines are high-voltage three-phase AC, although single phase AC is sometimes used in railway electrification systems. DC technology is used for greater efficiency over longer distances, typically hundreds of miles.

  5. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

  6. Power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_station

    The power generated by a power station is measured in multiples of the watt, typically megawatts (10 6 watts) or gigawatts (10 9 watts). Power stations vary greatly in capacity depending on the type of power plant and on historical, geographical and economic factors.

  7. Peak envelope power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_envelope_power

    PEP is also equal to average power in a steady FM, FSK, or RTTY transmission. Although average power is the same as PEP for complex modulation forms, such as FSK, the peak envelope power bears no particular ratio or mathematical relationship to longer-term average power in distorted envelopes, such as a CW waveform with power overshoot, or with ...

  8. Power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_transmission

    From the 16th century through the Industrial Revolution to the end of the 19th century, mechanical power transmission was the norm. The oldest long-distance power transmission technology involved systems of push-rods or jerker lines (stängenkunst or feldstängen) connecting waterwheels to distant mine-drainage and brine-well pumps.

  9. List of railway electrification systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_railway...

    This is a list of the power supply systems that are, or have been, used for railway electrification. Note that the voltages are nominal and vary depending on load and distance from the substation. As of 2023 [update] many trams and trains use on-board solid-state electronics to convert these supplies to run three-phase AC traction motors.
