  2. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering discipline, based on traditional conventions.

  3. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    Direct current (DC) (red line). The vertical axis shows current or voltage and the horizontal 't' axis measures time and shows the zero value. Direct current ( DC) is one-directional flow of electric charge. An electrochemical cell is a prime example of DC power. Direct current may flow through a conductor such as a wire, but can also flow ...

  4. War of the currents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_currents

    The war of the currents was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s; arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage direct current (DC) indoor incandescent lighting ...

  5. Type 2 connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_2_connector

    The connector is circular in shape, with a flattened top edge; the original design specification carried an output electric power of 3–50 kW for charging battery electric vehicles using single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) alternating current (AC), with a typical maximum of 32 A 7.2 kW using single-phase AC and 22 kW with three-phase AC in common practice. [1] The plugs have openings on ...

  6. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    Alternating current ( AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction. Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences, and it is the form of electrical energy ...

  7. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC.

  8. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    t. e. In electromagnetism and electronics, electromotive force (also electromotance, abbreviated emf, [1] [2] denoted or [citation needed]) is an energy transfer to an electric circuit per unit of electric charge, measured in volts. Devices called electrical transducers provide an emf [3] by converting other forms of energy into electrical ...

  9. Combined Charging System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System

    The Combined Charging System ( CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles. It can use Combo 1 ( CCS1) or Combo 2 ( CCS2) connectors to provide power at up to 350 kilowatts (kW) (max 500 A). [1] These two connectors are extensions of the IEC 62196 Type 1 and Type 2 connectors, with two additional direct current (DC) contacts to allow high ...
