Module 3206
Across
- 4. A measure of force that causes an object, such as a motor shaft, to rotate.
- 6. Voltage: The value of AC voltage that will produce as much power when connected across a load as an equivalent amount of DC voltage. Also known as root-mean-square (RMS) voltage.
- 7. A device that generates alternating current through conductors rotating in a magnetic field.
- 9. The unit of measure for the frequency of alternating current. One Herz equals one cycle per second.
- 10. Motors Electric motors that operate through induction.
- 11. Current The maximal, short-lived current drawn by an inductive electrical device when first energized.
- 12. The rotating component of a generator.
- 14. The movable contact surface on an electric generator or motor.
- 15. The generation of a current in a conductor by placing it in a moving magnetic field.
- 16. The rotating component of an induction motor.
- 17. Ratio The ratio between the number of turns in a transformer’s primary winding and a secondary winding.
- 18. Drop A decrease of electrical potential along the path of a current flowing in an electrical circuit, often caused by insufficient wire sizing for circuit length and poor wiring connections.
- 20. The repetitive and/or periodic variation of some measure in relation to a central point.
- 21. Imbalance For a three-phase power supply, the maximum deviation of the current in any phase from the average current in the three phases, divided by the average current. It is generally expressed as a percentage.
Down
- 1. The maximum height and depth reached by the sine wave in a cycle, and the point on the wave at which the highest voltage is being generated.
- 2. The number of complete cycles of an alternating current, sound wave, or vibrating object that occur over predetermined time.
- 3. imbalance For a three-phase power supply, the maximum deviation of the voltage of any phase from the average voltage of the three phases, divided by the average voltage. It is generally expressed as a percentage.
- 5. Formed through compression, such as a connector on the end of an electrical conductor.
- 8. A control device consisting of a magnetic coil and one or more sets of contacts used as switching devices in high-voltage, high-current circuits, such as those serving compressors.
- 9. A unit of measure for power equal to 550 foot-pounds per second, or 746 watts.
- 13. The stationary portion of a motor, primarily consisting of the windings.
- 15. Transformer A transformer with a one-to-one turn ratio, used to isolate electrical circuits or prevent electrical interference.
- 19. Wave A waveform that displays periodic oscillations in the generation of AC ower.
