  2. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A typical motor start capacitor. A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/ARC-5

    VHF transmitter T-23/ARC-5 and HF transmitter T-20/ARC-5 on rack MT-71/ARC-5. The AN/ARC-5 Command Radio Set is a series of radio receivers, transmitters, and accessories carried aboard U.S. Navy aircraft during World War II and for some years afterward. It is described as "a complete multi-channel radio transmitting and receiving set providing ...

  5. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

    An instant start ballast does not preheat the electrodes, instead using a relatively high voltage (~600 V) to initiate the discharge arc. It is the most energy efficient type, but yields the fewest lamp-start cycles, as material is blasted from the surface of the cold electrodes each time the lamp is turned on.

  6. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

  7. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    In schematic diagrams, a capacitor used primarily for DC charge storage is often drawn vertically in circuit diagrams with the lower, more negative, plate drawn as an arc. The straight plate indicates the positive terminal of the device, if it is polarized (see electrolytic capacitor ).

  8. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    For any discrete capacitor, there is a frequency above DC at which it ceases to behave as a pure capacitor. This frequency, where is as high as , is called the self-resonant frequency. The self-resonant frequency is the lowest frequency at which the impedance passes through a minimum.

  9. Induction coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

    An arc forms at the interrupter contacts on break which has undesirable effects: the arc consumes energy stored in the magnetic field, reduces the output voltage, and damages the contacts. [11] To prevent this, a quenching capacitor (C) of 0.5 to 15 μF is connected across the primary coil to slow the rise in the voltage after a break.
