Sentences with phrase «converts alternating current»

Although direct - current lines are highly efficient, the equipment that converts alternating current into direct current and back again is not, so the advantage accrues on long spans — such as those from the windy high plains and the sunny Southwest.

Manitoba partially resolved this problem by adopting the Russian system of reducing line loss by converting Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC), transmitting as DC then reconverting to AC at the point of need.

Additionally, a recent rumor suggested that Taiwanese company Lite - On was supplying Apple with bridge rectifiers for wireless charging which is needed to convert alternating current to direct current — again something which is necessary for inductive charging but not RF charging.

Not exact matches

SolarCity (SCTY) CTO Peter Rive told me at the event that the company will charge customers $ 5,000 for the 10 kWh unit, a price that includes installation and an inverter to convert direct current power to alternating current for use in the home.

An inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity into the alternating current (AC) used by the lights, appliances and devices in a home.

When it flies into the magnetic field an alternating current (AC) voltage is induced in the receiving antenna and the drone's electronics convert it efficiently into a direct current (DC) voltage to power it.

The traction - drive system typically consists of a boost converter (which steps up voltage when the electronic circuit requires a higher operating voltage than the battery can provide alone), two inverters (which take direct current (DC) voltage and convert it to alternating current (AC)-RRB-, and electric motors to provide motive power (pdf).

Using a resistor to convert electrical charge to alternating current, Krupenkin was able to harvest electrical energy from drops of either mercury or galinstan, a gallium - based alloy as they were moved along these channels and over the electrodes.

The second, also a major challenge, requires lowering the costs and raising the performance of the electronics that convert direct current from photovoltaic solar power to alternating current used on the grid.

The antenna of the crystal radio converts these waves to alternating current (shown in A).

The switch would consist of a plasma - filled tube that turns current on and off in systems that convert the direct current coming from long - distance power lines to the alternating current that lights homes and businesses; such systems are used to reverse the process as well.

This electricity can be converted to alternating current (AC) power for use in the building or if more power is generated, the surplus will be exported to the National Grid.

Alternators generate AC (Alternating Current) which is then converted into pulsating DC (Direct Current).

An inverter converts the direct current from the combustion engine into alternating current for the electric motor.

An inverter converts the stored direct current into alternating current in order to drive the electric motor.

The alternating current is converted into direct current by the on - board power electronics and the battery is charged with an output of up to 11 kW kilowatts.

The power electronics control the flow of high - voltage power between the motors and the battery, converting direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC).

The inverter converts the battery's direct current into a 650 volt alternating current to drive the electric motor and occasionally, the generator, offering significantly improved PCU performance.

Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity.

For household or utility use, an inverter must be used to convert the electricity to alternating current (AC).

As you likely know, solar cells produce direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter.

The inverter, which converts direct current to alternating current, has a new direct cooling system to reduce size and weight.

In today's solar photovoltaic systems, direct current power coming from solar panels is converted to alternating current power, making it compatible with a building's electrical distribution.

(Aside from controlling voltage levels, the module also controls the motor's revolutions per minute, torque and the regenerative braking system, as well as converting direct current into usable alternating current, according to HowStuffWorks).

The power innverter in an electric car is used to «convert» the direct current, or DC power provided by the battery pack into an alternating current, or AC power, which then drives the electric motors that propel the vehicle.

Wireless chargers (also known as «inductive charging») typically use an induction coil to create an alternating electromagnetic field from within a charging base station, and a second induction coil in the portable device takes power from the electromagnetic field and converts it back into electric current to charge the battery.

In addition to the rooftop panels, the project includes inverters to convert electricity generated by the modules from direct to alternating current, as well as utility - grade meters with remote monitoring capabilities.

The inverter, similar in size to a hardcover book, converts direct current, or DC power, coming from the car battery into alternating current, or AC, used in most homes.
