Review for Industrial Technology Examination - Flashcards

These flashcards cover essential vocabulary and concepts related to the Industrial Technology examination focusing on electrical and electronic technology.

Total Resistance (RT)

The total resistance in a circuit calculated using specific formulas depending on the configuration.

Inductance (LT)

The total inductance of inductors in series or parallel configurations.

Power of a motor

The product of voltage and current, calculated using the formula P = V × I.

Capacitance

The ability of a component to store an electrical charge, measured in farads.

Electrical Diagrams

Visual representations of electrical circuits, including one-line and full-line diagrams.

Choke/Ballast

A component used to regulate current in electrical circuits, often in fluorescent lighting systems.

One-line diagram

A simplified representation of an electrical system showing how components are interconnected.

Losses in Electrical Machines

Energy losses that occur during the operation of electrical machines, often due to heat or friction.

No Voltage Protection

A safety feature in motor control circuits that prevents operation during voltage interruptions.

Types of Electrical Machines

Different categories, such as AC machines, DC machines, and transformers, used in various applications.

Bi-phase Rectifier

An electrical circuit that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

Transistor Modes

Configurations of a semiconductor device: common-base, common-emitter, and common-collector.
