  2. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    The neutral current can be determined by adding the three phase currents together as complex numbers and then converting from rectangular to polar co-ordinates. If the three-phase root mean square (RMS) currents are I L 1 {\displaystyle I_{L1}} , I L 2 {\displaystyle I_{L2}} , and I L 3 {\displaystyle I_{L3}} , the neutral RMS current is:

  3. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    Any stationary voltage or current waveform can be decomposed into a sum of a DC component and a zero-mean time-varying component; the DC component is defined to be the expected value, or the average value of the voltage or current over all time. Although DC stands for "direct current", DC often refers to "constant polarity".

  4. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    Load regulation is the capability to maintain a constant voltage (or current) level on the output channel of a power supply despite changes in the supply's load (such as a change in resistance value connected across the supply output).

  5. Wetting current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetting_current

    A related term sealing current (aka wetting current or fritting current) is widely used in the telecommunication industry describing a small constant DC current (typically 1-20 mA) in copper wire loops in order to avoid contact oxidation of contacts and splices.

  6. Synchronous condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser

    The minimum armature current corresponds to the point of unity power factor (voltage and current in phase). As in a synchronous motor, the stator of the machine is connected to a three-phase supply of voltage V s {\displaystyle V_{s}} (assumed to be constant), and this creates a rotating magnetic field within the machine.

  7. Small-signal model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-signal_model

    It is applicable to electronic circuits in which the AC signals (i.e., the time-varying currents and voltages in the circuit) are small relative to the DC bias currents and voltages. A small-signal model is an AC equivalent circuit in which the nonlinear circuit elements are replaced by linear elements whose values are given by the first-order ...

  8. Constant current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_current

    In electronics, a constant current system is one that varies the voltage across a load to maintain a constant electric current.When a component is indicated to be driven by a constant current, the driver circuit is, in essence, a current regulator and must appear to the component as a current source of suitable reliability.

  9. Current clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_clamp

    This allows measurement of the current in a conductor without the need to make physical contact with it, or to disconnect it for insertion through the probe. Current clamps are typically used to read the magnitude of alternating current (AC) and, with additional instrumentation, the phase and waveform can also be measured. Some clamp meters can ...
