  2. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.

  3. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The rating of a brushless motor is the ratio of the motor's unloaded rotational speed (measured in RPM) to the peak (not RMS) voltage on the wires connected to the coils (the back EMF). For example, an unloaded motor of K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} = 5,700 rpm/V supplied with 11.1 V will run at a nominal speed of 63,270 rpm (= 5,700 rpm/V ...

  4. Class of accuracy in electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_accuracy_in...

    Ideally the measuring device should not affect the circuit parameters i.e., the internal impedance of the ammeter should be zero (no voltage drop over the ammeter) and the internal impedance of the voltmeter should be infinite (no current through the voltmeter). However, in actual case, ammeters have a low but non zero impedance and voltmeters ...

  5. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Surging takes place when compressor is operated off the design point and it affects the whole machine and this is aerodynamically and mechanically undesirable. It can damage the rotor bearings, rotor seals, compressor driver and affect the whole cycle operation. It results in high temperature, high vibration and leads to flow reversal. [4] [11 ...

  6. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Some measurements in signal circuits require higher sensitivity movements so as not to load the circuit under test with the meter impedance. [42] [43] Sensitivity should not be confused with resolution of a meter, which is defined as the lowest signal change (voltage, current, resistance and so on) that can change the observed reading. [43]

  7. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistors are commonly used in switching power supplies, motor drives and audio equipment to prevent damage caused by inrush current. A thermistor is a thermally-sensitive resistor with a resistance that changes significantly and predictably as a result of temperature changes.

  8. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

    An indicator diagram is a chart used to measure the thermal, or cylinder, performance of reciprocating steam and internal combustion engines and compressors. [1] An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or ...

  9. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    Demonstration analog voltmeter. A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel. It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.
