Question 5

What is a Voltage Regulator?

Accepted Answer

A Voltage Regulator (REGULATOR,VOLTAGE) is a component within a single inclosure or provided with a single mounting specifically designed to control automatically the voltage output of an electrical system within certain required limits, regardless of variations of the effective load or of input voltages within a specific range. Does not include items in which regulation is accomplished solely by transformer action. See also REGULATOR SET, VOLTAGE. Excludes REGULATOR, ENGINE GENERATOR.

Question 6

What is a Current Regulator?

Accepted Answer

A Current Regulator (REGULATOR,CURRENT) is a regulator that automatically controls the current output of an electric system within a specific range regardless of the variation of the effective load or input current values. Does not include items in which regulation is accomplished solely by transformer action. See also TRANSFORMER, POWER &#40;as modified&#41;. Excludes REGULATOR, ENGINE GENERATOR.

Question 7

What is a Motor Controller?

Accepted Answer

A Motor Controller (CONTROLLER,MOTOR) is a device which, in addition to starting and stopping a motor, performs one or more of the following functions&#58; reverses the rotation, selects the speed, and&#47;or regulates the speed of a motor. Includes items of this type whose design provides means for operation with a rheostat or speed regulator which may be integral or included. Items such as drum switches may be included. See also STARTER, MOTOR.

Question 8

What is a Motor Starter?

Accepted Answer

A Motor Starter (STARTER,MOTOR) is a device primarily designed to control the supply circuit(s) of a motor in order to accelerate the motor from rest to normal speed. Includes manual starters with overload protection and manual, automatic or semiautomatic starters consisting of combinations of items such as relays, resistors, switches, circuit breakers, and the like. Excludes RELAY-SWITCH; CIRCUIT BREAKER; SWITCH (as modified) and RELAY (as modified). For devices, which in addition to starting and stopping, reverse, select and/or regulate the speed of a motor, see CONTROLLER (as modified).

Question 9

What is a Power Distribution Panel?

Accepted Answer

A Power Distribution Panel (PANEL,POWER DISTRIBUTION) is a panel designed for connecting, disconnecting and protecting power line feeders and/or direct control of specific electric devices such as lights, motors, electronic equipment, and the like. See also FUSE BOX; SWITCH BOX; DISTRIBUTION BOX; and PANEL,POWER BUS,CURCUIT BREAKER.

Question 10

What is a Power Switchboard?

Accepted Answer

A Power Switchboard (SWITCHBOARD,POWER) is a switchboard with associated framework and/or inclosures which controls the selection and/or distribution of electric power.

Question 11

What is a Remote Switching Control?

Accepted Answer

A Remote Switching Control (CONTROL,REMOTE SWITCHING) is an item which determines the mode of operation of one or more remote switches or switch assemblies or of an electrical switching system. If the item also includes an operational control indicator, use CONTROL-INDICATOR. See also CONTROL, ROTARY SWITCH.

Question 12

What is a Generator Control?

Accepted Answer

A Generator Control (CONTROL,GENERATOR) is a device which determines the mode of operation of a generator. See also PANEL, POWER DISTRIBUTION.

Question 13

What is a Distribution Box?

Accepted Answer

A Distribution Box is an enclosure which includes mounts, and protects such items as switches, circuit breakers, jacks, fuseholders, connectors, terminals and/or terminal boards, resistors, capacitors, transformers, and the like. It is primarily designed to distribute electrical power from one or more primary power source(s) such as generator(s) and battery(ies) to one or more electrical and/or electronic item(s). It may include a cover or door. For enclosures which include only circuit breakers, switches, jacks, fuseholders, terminals and/or terminal boards, see CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX; SWITCH BOX; JACK BOX; FUSE BOX and TERMINAL BOX. For enclosure primarily designed to interconnect two or more electrical and/or electronic items, except primary power source(s) see INTERCONNECTING BOX. For empty boxes which are designed to mount, but do not include electrical devices such as switches, jacks, fuseholders, terminals and/or terminal boards, see JUNCTION BOX. See also INTERCONNECTING CABINET; CONTROL (as modified); PANEL (1) (as modified); RELAY ASSEMBLY; PANEL, POWER DISTRIBUTION; SWITCHBOARD (as modified) and PANEL, FUSE. Excludes CONNECTOR-SWITCH.

Question 14

What is a Remote Light Source Control?

Accepted Answer

A Remote Light Source Control (CONTROL,LIGHT SOURCE,REMOTE) is a component consisting of a box which houses a momentary push-button switch, and a rheostat to regulate light intensity, and includes necessary cables and connectors. It is used to connect a BATTERY POWER SUPPLY to a light assembly which may be an integral part of a collimator, or the like located at a remote location. The box may include a permanent magnet to facilitate attachment to a weapon, or the like. It does not include a light. Excludes CONTROL, REMOTE SWITCHING.

Question 15

What is a Magnetic Contactor?

Accepted Answer

A Magnetic Contactor (CONTACTOR,MAGNETIC) is an item consisting of contacts, a magnetic core, and a coil with or without inclosure which is used to repeatedly establish and break a circuit. The item does not provide overload protection and is not used in line to control any other electrical controls. Excludes RELAY, ELECTROMAGNETIC and STARTER, MOTOR.l circuit. Exludes RELAY, ELECTRO-MAGNETIC and STARTER, MOTOR.

Question 16

What is an Electrical-Electronic Equipment Control Panel?

Accepted Answer

An Electrical-Electronic Equipment Control Panel (PANEL,CONTROL,ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT) is a panel, upon which are mounted such items as indicator lights, meters, relays, switches and the like, which is specifically designed for the purpose of controlling the operation of electrical and electronic equipment. See also PANEL, TEST, ELECTRICAL.
