A device for storing energy in chemical form so that it can be released as electrical energy.
CAPACITOR
A device that stores electric charge when an external power supply is present using the electrical property of capacitance. Two-terminal device characterized essentially by its capacitance.
Note: definition from IEC 60050 151-13-28.
CAPACITORBANK
A device that stores electrical energy when an external power supply is present using the electrical property of capacitance.
COMPENSATOR
A device that is used to fix or adjust the parameter of electric energy, such as voltage loss, power factor and so on.
HARMONICFILTER
A device that constantly injects currents that precisely correspond to the harmonic components drawn by the load.
INDUCTOR
A device used in circuits or power systems due to their inductance, acting as a component of electric storage device.
INDUCTORBANK
A device that stores electrical energy in a magnetic field using electrical property of inductance.
RECHARGER
A recharger or battery charger is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current through it.
UPS
A device that provides a time limited alternative source of power supply in the event of failure of the main supply.

* bring back headers
headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back
* add new lines and rename the tag
add the word 'short' in it
* unify newlines
make exactly one newline before and two after the tag
* resolving typos
Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 2024-07-16T16:07:28+02:00
