Glossary
Usage:
- Anode:
- The positive end of a diode or a rectifier.
- Bridge:
- A circuit used to change AC to DC and to measure small quantities of current, voltage or resistance.
- Bias:
- A low voltage which keeps the Silicon Controlled Rectifiers turned off.
- Cathode:
- The negative end of a diode or a rectifier.
- Discharge:
- To remove a charge.
- Flux-lock:
- The position of the generator magnet assembly in relation to the magnetic bridge of the generator coil. A resistance will be felt when the rotor moves in either direction. This is due to the magnetic forces between the rotor and the metal pick-up on the generator coil bridge.
- Gate:
- An electronic part of a controlled rectifier (thyristor).
- Generated:
- To make electricity.
- Induced:
- Current generated in a coil.
- Input:
- Power or energy put into a system.
- Magnetic:
- Having the characteristics of a magnet.
- Open Circuit:
- A broken electrical circuit.
- SCR:
- Silicon Controlled Rectifier (semi-conductor).
- Short Circuit:
- A connection between two or more components that is not desired.
- Turn-On:
- To start, as current flow through the controlled rectifier; to activate.
- Turn-Off:
- To stop, as current flow through the controlled rectifier.
- Windings:
- Layers of wire on a core.
- Wiring:
- The wires of a circuit.
