Amplidyne is a special-purpose DC generator. It supply large DC currents, precisely controlled, to the large DC motors used to drive heavy physical loads, such as gun turrets and missile launchers. The amplidyne is really a motor and a generator. It consists of a constant-speed AC motor (the prime mover) mechanically coupled to a DC generator, which is wired to function as a … [Read more...] about Amplidyne – Working and Application

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) is an inexpensive electrical switchgear device that can either be installed in your electrical system or built into a power cord to protect you from severe electrical shocks. Electric shocks can cause severe injury or even death. Even exposure to current as low as 100 ma current for only 2 seconds can cause death. GFCIs … [Read more...] about GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
