1Current transformer — A CT for operation on a 110 kV grid In electrical engineering, a current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)), are known as …
2Current clamp — For current clamp recording in neurons, see Electrophysiology#Current clamp. In electrical and electronic engineering, a current clamp or current probe is an electrical device having two jaws which open to allow clamping around an electrical… …
3Waveform — The shape of the curve graphically representing the change in the ac signal voltage and current amplitude, with respect to time. Solar Electric Glossary …
4Waveform — A&V The shape of an electromagnetic wave. A graphical representation of voltage or current in relation to time …
5Direct current — (red curve). The horizontal axis measures time; the vertical, current or voltage. Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and… …
6Alternating current — (green curve). The horizontal axis measures time; the vertical, current or voltage. In alternating current (AC, also ac) the movement of electric charge periodically reverses direction. In direct current (DC, also dc), the flow of electric charge …
7Inrush current — or input surge current refers to the maximum, instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. For example, incandescent light bulbs have high inrush currents until their filaments warm up and their resistance… …
8Geomagnetically induced current — Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC), affecting the normal operation of long technological conductor systems, are a manifestation at ground level of space weather. During space weather events (or geomagnetic storms) Earth s near space current… …
9safe current — In naval mine warfare, the maximum current that can be supplied to a sweep in a given waveform and pulse cycle which does not produce a danger area with respect to the mines being swept for …
10Inverter (electrical) — An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)[1]; the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits. Solid… …
