A transformer is used to change the voltage level of an electrical supply, either stepping up or stepping down the voltage as required.
A circuit breaker is an automatic device used to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit.
The neutral wire in a three-phase system carries current back to the source and is typically maintained at a voltage close to zero with respect to earth.
A synchronous generator produces AC power and is commonly used in power plants.
A diode allows current to pass in one direction only, acting as a one-way valve for electric current.
An inductor opposes changes in current due to its property of inductance, which is useful in filtering and tuning circuits.
A capacitor stores energy in an electric field and can release it, providing a smoothing function for fluctuating current or voltage.
A voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) between two points in an electrical circuit.
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving the junction in a circuit.
An electrical relay is used to control a high power circuit with a low power signal, allowing for isolation and control in circuits.
