A circuit in a multiengine aircraft electrical system that causes the generators or alternators to share the electrical load equally.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit in a radio receiver that keeps the volume down when no signal is being received. As soon as a signal is received, the squelch circuit allows it to come through loud enough to be comfortably heard. Squelch circuits are used in communications radios that receive long periods of silence between transmissions.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit in a radio receiver that keeps the volume relatively constant as the input signal strength varies.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit in a weather radar that reverses signal strength above a specified intensity level. An iso echo circuit causes a void on the scope in the most intense portion of an echo when the maximum intensity is greater than the specified level.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit in which the components are connected in such a way that there is more than one complete path for electrons to pass from the negative terminal of the power source back to its positive terminal.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit or control in an audio amplifier that can vary the output volume.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit or device that changes alternating current at the power-line voltage into direct current of the required voltage. Many power supplies include a voltage regulator circuit that holds the output voltage constant as the load current changes.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit or device used in a three-phase alternating current system that interrupts the power if reversal of the phase rotation should occur.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit or device used to decrease the intensity of an electric light.
A dimmer may decrease the voltage supplied to the light by adding resistance, as is done with a rheostat. Or it may shorten the time electrons flow in each cycle of alternating current as is done with an SCR, a silicon controlled rectifier.
Industry:Aviation
A circuit that contains a number of components, some of which are connected in series and others in parallel.
