A Magnetic Particle Clutch (MPC) is a form of electromagnetic clutch that uses magnetic particles suspended in a fluid medium to transfer torque. It is…

Synchronverters, also known as virtual synchronous generators, are inverters that resemble synchronous generators (SG) and supply “synthetic inertia” for auxiliary services in electric power systems.…

A grid-tie inverter transforms direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), which can be injected into an electrical power grid at the same voltage and…

A multiple-emitter transistor is a type of bipolar transistor that is commonly used as the input to TTL NAND logic gates in integrated circuits. Input…

An electromagnetic clutch is a form of clutch that uses electromagnetic force to engage and disengage the machine’s driving and driven components. This type of…

An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor that functions primarily as an electronic switch. It is a semiconductor device that is widely…

A crossatron is a high-power pulsed modulator device made up of a cold cathode gas-filled tube that incorporates features from thyratrons, vacuum tubes, and power…

Arcing horns (also known as arc-horns) are projecting conductors that shield insulators or switch hardware in high-voltage electric power transmission lines from damage during a…

The krytron is a cold-cathode gas-filled tube used as a very high-speed switch, comparable to the thyratron. It consists of a sealed glass tube with…

A thyratron is a gas-filled tube that functions as a high-powered electrical switch and controlled rectifier. It functions similarly to a vacuum tube, but with…

A trigatron is a sort of triggerable spark gap switch designed for high current and voltage (often 10-100 kV and 20-100 kA, however mega-ampere devices…

Overvoltage in electrical engineering refers to a voltage increase that exceeds the design limit of a circuit or circuit element. It describes a condition in…
