Damper winding. Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding[ 1]) is a squirrel-cage -like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine.
Corona discharges represent a significant power loss for electric utilities. Corona discharge from a spoon attached to the high voltage terminal of a Tesla coil. A corona discharge is an electrical discharge caused by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor carrying a high voltage.
Damper (flow) Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature ...
Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, [ 1] is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area. [ 2]
Differential thermal analysis. Dielectric thermal analysis. Dynamic mechanical analysis (abbreviated DMA) is a technique used to study and characterize materials. It is most useful for studying the viscoelastic behavior of polymers. A sinusoidal stress is applied and the strain in the material is measured, allowing one to determine the complex ...
In this state the armature flux is pushed completely out of the rotor. The state is very brief, as the current in the damper winding quickly decays allowing the armature flux to enter the rotor poles only. The generator goes into transient state; in the transient state the flux is still out of the field winding of the rotor.
IEC 60227 Polyvinyl chloride insulated cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V. IEC 60228 Conductors of insulated cables. IEC 60229 Electric cables – Tests on extruded over-sheaths with a special protective function. IEC 60230 Impulse tests on cables and their accessories.
Wet chemistry. Graduated cylinders and beakers filled with chemicals. Wet chemistry is a form of analytical chemistry that uses classical methods such as observation to analyze materials. The term wet chemistry is used as most analytical work is done in the liquid phase. [1] Wet chemistry is also known as bench chemistry, since many tests are ...
