Hi, my name is Elliot Goyer, I'm in Electrical Engineering technology since 2 years. My glossary is aimed at Nicole Matveyenko.I create this glossary to define words about my field of study. My subject It's about my study program, a lot of terms of electrical are very difficult to understand, my glossary going to solve this problem with the definition of electrical terms. I put 3 terms on It and I take definition on google definition.
Automaton
Noun
An electrical automaton is a self-operating machine or control mechanism that uses electrical components (sensors, relays, programmable logic controllers) to execute a programmed sequence of operations with minimal human intervention.
Example: The automaton closes the door when someone comes inside the room.
fr: automate
Cable
Noun
An electrical cable is an assembly of one or more insulated electrical conductors bundled together under a common protective sheath. Used to transmit electricity or signals between points.
Example: The cable is cut in the middle
fr: Cable
capacitor
Noun
An electric capacitor is a passive, two-terminal electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field by accumulating charge.
Example: Warning the capacitor may be charged.
fr: condensateur
circuit breaker
Noun
Circuit breakers are an automatic device for stopping the flow of current in an electric circuit as a safety measure.
Example: The circuit breaker is open.
fr: Disjoncteur
Coil
Noun
An electrical coil is a passive component consisting of conducting wire wound into a spiral, helix, or coil, designed to create a magnetic field, store energy, or introduce impedance into a circuit.
Example: The coil is burnt.
fr: Bobine
conveyor
Noun
An electric conveyor is a mechanical handling apparatus that uses an electric motor to automatically transport materials, products, or goods from one location to another.
Example: The conveyor transport the snowmobile.
fr: Convoyeur
Current
noun
Electric current is the rate at which electric charge (typically electrons) flows past a specific point in a conductor within a complete circuit.
Example: Electric current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
fr: Courant
Diode
Noun
A diode is a two-terminal semiconductor device that acts as a one-way valve for electricity.
Example: The diode let the current flow from only one side.
fr: Diode
disconnector
noun
Electrical disconnectors are mechanical safety devices designed to create a visible, physical break in an electrical circuit, ensuring it is completely de-energized for safe maintenance or repair.
Example: The disconnectors are close.
fr: Sectionneur
Electrical Power
Noun
Electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred, used, or transformed by an electric circuit or device per unit of time.
Example: The Electrical power is not enough.
fr: Puissance électrique
Electrical valve
Non
An electrical valve, also commonly referred to as an electrically actuated valve, electrovalve, or solenoid valve, is a mechanical device used to control the flow of liquids or gases by using an electric actuator.
Example: The Electrical valve don't let the water passe.
fr: Valve électrique
fuse
Noun
An electrical fuse is a safety device used in circuits to provide over current protection by interrupting the flow of electricity when current exceeds a safe threshold.
Example: The fusible are broke.
fr: Fusible
Grafcet
Noun
GRAFCET is a standardized graphical modeling language used in automation technology to describe the sequential behavior of industrial control systems.
Example: The grafcet is in error.
fr: Graphe fonctionnel de commande étape-transition
Ladder logic
Noun
Ladder logic is a graphical programming language used primarily to develop software for Programmable Logic Controllers in industrial control systems. It mimics electrical relay circuits, displaying inputs and outputs on horizontal rungs between two vertical rails, making it intuitive for automation engineers to design and troubleshoot.
Example: The conveyors are programmed in ladder logic.
fr: Logique à relais
Motor
Noun
An electric motor convert electrical energy into mechanical energy (motion) using electromagnetic principles, typically involving a stationary stator and a rotating rotor.
Example: The motor run very wells.
fr: Moteur
Programming
Noun
The computer programming refers to the use of different languages to communicate with computers and give them instructions.
Example: The programming don't works.
fr: Programmation
resistance
noun
Electrical resistance is the measure of the opposition a material or component presents to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.
Example: The resistance affects the current.
fr: Résistance
Robot
Noun
A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional machine designed to autonomously or semi-autonomously carry out a complex series of actions.
Example: The robot moves the bloc from point a to point b.
fr: Robot
transformer
Noun
An electrical transformer is a passive device that transfers electrical energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction, changing voltage levels while maintaining frequency.
Example: The transformer lowers the voltage.
fr: transformateur
Voltage
noun
Voltage, or electric potential difference, is the pressure or force from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop.
