  3. Transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

    In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits.A varying current in any coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, which induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) across any other coils wound around the same core.

  4. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    Power converters include simple devices such as transformers, and more complex ones like resonant converters. The term can also refer to a class of electrical machinery that is used to convert one frequency of alternating current into another. Power conversion systems often incorporate redundancy and voltage regulation.

  5. Electrical steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_steel

    It is used for the cores of power and distribution transformers, cold-rolled grain-oriented steel is often abbreviated to CRGO. CRGO is usually supplied by the producing mills in coil form and has to be cut into "laminations", which are then used to form a transformer core, which is an integral part of any transformer.

  6. Minecraft modding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft_modding

    The popularity of Minecraft mods has been credited for helping Minecraft become one of the best-selling video games of all time. The first Minecraft mods worked by decompiling and modifying the Java source code of the game. The original version of the game, now called Minecraft: Java Edition, is still modded this way, but with more advanced tools.

  7. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

    Galvanic isolation is used where two or more electric circuits must communicate, but their grounds may be at different potentials. It is an effective method of breaking ground loops by preventing unwanted current from flowing between two units sharing a ground conductor. Galvanic isolation is also used for safety, preventing accidental electric ...

  8. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    Instrument transformers may also be used as an isolation transformer so that secondary quantities may be used without affecting the primary circuitry. [ 14 ] Terminal identifications (either alphanumeric such as H 1 , X 1 , Y 1 , etc. or a colored spot or dot impressed in the case) indicate one end of each winding, indicating the same ...

  9. Isolation transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_transformer

    In electronics testing and servicing, an isolation transformer is a 1:1 (under load) power transformer used for safety. Without it, exposed live metal in a device under test is at a hazardous voltage relative to grounded objects such as a heating radiator or oscilloscope ground lead (a particular hazard with some old vacuum-tube equipment with ...
