TEMPER
Tent, Expandable, Modular, PERsonnel.
Thermistor
Temperature sensitive semiconductor that has a
negative temperature coefficient of resistance. As
temperature increases, resistance decreases.
Thermocouple
Temperature transducer consisting of two dissimilar
metals welded together at one end to form a junction
that when heated will generate a voltage.
Thermostat
Device that opens or closes a circuit in response to
changes in temperature.
Three Phase Power
Three separate outputs from a single source. There is a
phase difference of 120 between any two of the three
voltages and currents.
Thrust Bearings
Special bearings used to handle higher than normal axial
forces exerted on the shaft of the motor as is the case
with some fan or pump blade mountings.
Timer
A switch with an integral mechanism or electronic circuit
that can be set to switch an electrical load ON at a
predetermined time.
Toggle Switch
A switch with a lever-type actuator that makes or breaks
switch contact as its position is changed.
Turning force delivered by a motor or gearmotor shaft,
usually expressed in lbs. ft, derived by completing H.P. x
5250/RPM = full load torque.
Transducer
Device that converts energy from one form to another.
A static electrical device which by electromagnetic
induction transfers electrical energy from one circuit to
another circuit usually with changed values of voltage
and current in the process.
