Part Number
Definition:
AN ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE WHICH USES A COIL OPERATED SWITCHING MECHANISM TO CONVERT A DIRECT CURRENT INPUT INTO A PULSATING DIRECT CURRENT OUTPUT OF THE SAME VALUE. THE DIRECT CURRENT INPUT IS PERIODICALLY INTERRUPTED AT THE RESONANT FREQUENCY OF A COIL DRIVEN VIBRATING ARMATURE (REED). THE RESULTANT PULSATING DIRECT CURRENT OUTPUT PRODUCES AN INHERENT ALTERNATING CURRENT COMPONENT NECESSARY FOR ULTIMATE PURPOSES OF TRANSFORMATION. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE A MEANS OF AMPLIFICATION OR RECTIFICATION. FOR ITEMS DESIGNED TO OPERATE OVER A WIDE AND COMPARATIVELY HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE AND WHOSE DRIVE COIL MAY BE EXCITED FROM EITHER AN ALTERNATING CURRENT OR A DIRECT CURRENT, SEE CHOPPER, ELECTRONIC.
