DEFINITION

Classification: 323/220

IN SHUNT WITH SOURCE OR LOAD:

(under the class definition) Subject matter including a final control device which is in parallel with the source circuit or the load circuit and functions to controllably divert at least part of the source's energy away from the load.

(1) Note. Transformers which function to controllably couple a source to a load, although they may appear to be connected in shunt with the source or load, are not classified here since they do not function to divert energy.

(2) Note. Although not specifically included within each of the following definitions, shunt regulators usually include: (a) some means which produces a control signal which could be indicative of the input, output, or some condition external to the regulator, (b) some processing circuit which makes use of the control signal, and (c) a final control device which is controlled by the output of the processing circuit thus producing a controlled output of the system.
