Trickle Charge (Battery)

A continuous low rate charge that compensates for the self discharge rate of a battery. Also known as Float Charge.

Transformer Voltage Regulators

Mechanisms that use multiple voltage taps on a transformer-like device to adjust voltage on a power line. As the voltage increases or decreases on the circuit, sensors in the voltage regulator call for the input or output of the regulator to connect to di

Transformer Ratio

When used in reference to Instrument Transformers, this is simply the ratio of transformation of one or more transformers used in the circuit. If both Cts and VTs are included, the transformer ratio is the product of the CT and the VT. For example, assume

Transformer Insulation

This is the material that is used to provide electrical insulation between transformer windings at different voltage levels and also between the energized parts and the metal tank of the transformer. Generally, for large transformers used in power applica
