Generators
Bus
Electrical equipment; Generators
Bus can refer to the current-carrying copper bars that connect the AC generators and loads in a paralleling system, to the paralleled output of the AC generators in a system or to a feeder in an ...
Bus Capacity
Electrical equipment; Generators
Bus capacity is the maximum load that can be carried on a system without causing degradation of the generator frequency to less than a prescribed level (usually 59 Hz in a 60 Hz system).
Bypass
Electrical equipment; Generators
A circuit used to change the path of the electrical power so that it goes around (or bypasses) its normal path.
Cellular
Electrical equipment; Generators
Refers to a communication system that divides geographic regions into sections called cells. The purpose of this division is to make the most use of the limited number of transmission frequencies.
Choke
Electrical equipment; Generators
An inductor used as part of an electrical filter that resists the flow of current at specified frequencies, usually used to block high-frequency transients from incoming a/c power.
Circuit
Electrical equipment; Generators
A circuit is a path for an electric current across a potential (voltage).
Circuit Breaker
Electrical equipment; Generators
A circuit breaker is a protective device that automatically interrupts the current flowing through it when that current exceeds a certain value for a specified period of time.
