31Synchronous condenser — In electrical engineering, a synchronous condenser (sometimes synchronous compensator) is a synchronous motor that is not attached to any driven equipment. [B. M. Weedy, Electric Power Systems Second Edition, John Wiley and Sons, London, 1972,… …
32Synchronous orbit — A synchronous orbit is an orbit in which an orbiting body (usually a satellite) has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited (usually a planet), and in the same direction of rotation as that body.PropertiesA… …
33Synchronous grid of Continental Europe — Map of synchronous grids in Eurasia and Mediterranean region The synchronous grid of Continental Europe (also known as Continental Synchronous Area; formerly known as the UCTE grid) is the largest synchronous electrical grid (by connected power)… …
34Synchronous motor — A synchronous electric motor is an AC motor distinguished by a rotor spinning with coils passing magnets at the same rate as the alternating current and resulting magnetic field which drives it. Another way of saying this is that it has zero slip …
35synchronous motor — Elect. a synchronous machine that acts as a motor. [1900 05] * * * ▪ mechanics alternating current electric motor designed to run at a speed that is directly proportional to the frequency of the electric power source. Typically, a… …
36synchronous converter — noun electrical converter consisting of a synchronous machine that converts alternating to direct current or vice versa • Syn: ↑rotary, ↑rotary converter • Hypernyms: ↑electrical converter * * * noun : a synchronous machine that converts from… …
37Synchronous rotation — Due to synchronous rotation of their moon, the inhabitants of the central body will never be able to see its side marked with green. In astronomy, synchronous rotation is a planetological term describing a body orbiting another, where the… …
38Synchronous programming language — A synchronous programming language is a computer programming language optimized for programming reactive systems, systems that are often interrupted and must respond quickly. Many such systems are also called realtime systems, and are found often …
39Synchronous coordinates — In general relativity, the synchronous reference system is a coordinate system in which the metric takes the form:ds^2= dt^2+h {ab}dx^adx^b,where the Latin indices a and b are summed over the spatial directions and h {ab} is a spatial metric. Any …
40Synchronous network — In telecommunications, a synchronous network is a network in which clocks are controlled to run, ideally, at identical rates, or at the same mean rate with a fixed relative phase displacement, within a specified limited range. Ideally, the clocks …
