- Actuation relates to putting something in motion.Anode - An anode is the positive end of a diode or the positive end of a rectifier.Armature - The armature is the winding of a generator in which a voltage is induced by a magnetic field and is the winding which carries the electric power which is converted from mechanical power. In a brushless AC generator the main stator winding is an armature winding and also the rotor of the brushless exciter is the armature of the exciter.AVR - Automatic voltage regulator.Bridge Rectifier - A bridge rectifier is a circuit that is used to change alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).Buildup - A buildup is a gradual increase in voltage.Cathode - A cathode is the negative end of a diode or a cathode is the negative end of a rectifier.Capacitance - Capacitance is the ability to store an electrical charge.Capacitor - A capacitor is a device that will store an electrical charge.CDVR - Caterpillar digital voltage regulator.Circuit Breaker - A circuit breaker is an automatic switch that is used to open a circuit.Circulating Current - Circulating current is the flow of current between two or more generators that are working in parallel. Circulating current is also the flow of current between two or more generators that are parallel with a utility line.Conduct - Conducting relates to allowing the flow of current.Continuity - Continuity provides a path for current flow.Control - A control is a device that controls another device. A control is also a circuit that controls a device.Direct Current (DC) - Direct current is current flow that moves in only one direction in a given circuit.Damping - Damping refers to decreasing the amplitude of a signal.De-energized - A de-energized input refers to stopping the current that is going to a component.Droop - Droop refers to a decrease.Excitation - Excitation is controlled direct current (DC) that is used to make a magnetic field.Energized - An energized input refers to activating a device.Electrostatic Charge - Electrostatic charge is electricity that is caused by induced voltage and stored charge.Exciter - An exciter supplies direct current (DC) to the field windings of the generator.Field - A field is magnetic lines of force that surround a conductor. This force is caused by current flow in the conductor.Field Windings - Field windings are wire coils that are wrapped around an iron core. When direct current (DC) flows through the field windings, a magnetic field is produced. In a brushless AC generator the main rotor is a field winding and the exciter stator is the field winding of the brushless exciter.Flashing - Flashing is a process of putting direct current from an external source into the field windings. This process causes the generator to produce an output voltage.Flux - Flux is magnetic lines of force.Full-Wave Rectifier - A full-wave rectifier changes both the positive phase and the negative phase of alternating current to direct current.Gain - Gain relates to the relationship between input magnitude and
