voltage reduction
1Voltage reduction — In a simple resistive circuit, a reduction in the voltage across the resistance will result in a reduction in the power dissipated by the circuit.Electric UtilitiesElectric utilities have discovered that this basic principle can save utility… …
2Voltage reduction — Any intentional reduction of system voltage by 3 percent or greater for reasons of maintaining the continuity of service of the bulk electric power supply system. U.S. Dept. of Energy, Energy Information Administration s Energy Glossary …
3Voltage drop — is the reduction in voltage in an electrical circuit between the source and load. In electrical wiring national and local electrical codes may set guidelines for maximum voltage drop allowed in a circuit, to ensure reasonable efficiency of… …
4Reduction potential — (also known as redox potential, oxidation / reduction potential, ORP or Eh) is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced. Reduction potential is measured in volts (V), or millivolts (mV). Each… …
5Voltage regulator — A popular three pin 12 V DC voltage regulator IC. A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may be a simple feed forward design or may include negative feedback …
6Réduction électrolytique de l'aluminium — Production de l aluminium par électrolyse La réduction électrolytique de l aluminium est le procédé qui permet de fabriquer le métal aluminium à partir de l alumine extraite de la bauxite. Le procédé a été inventé simultanément par Paul Héroult… …
7oxidation–reduction reaction — ▪ chemical reaction Introduction also called redox reaction any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes. The term covers a large and diverse body of processes. Many oxidation– reduction… …
8Dynamic voltage scaling — is a power management technique in computer architecture, where the voltage used in a component is increased or decreased, depending upon circumstances. Dynamic voltage scaling to increase voltage is known as overvolting; dynamic voltage scaling… …
9Orders of magnitude (voltage) — To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various voltage levels. Factor (volt) Value Item 10−7 0.5 μV Change in nerve cell potential caused by opening a single acetylcholine receptor channel[1] 10−6 2 μV Noise… …
10Noise reduction — For sound proofing, see soundproofing. For scientific aspects of noise reduction of machinery and products, see noise control. Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal. All recording devices, both analogue or digital, have… …
