Standards moderationThe means by which awarding bodies ensure consistency across centres and ensure that national standards are being maintained and applied. |
Star Wound StatorAn alternator stator winding with the three-phase coils connected at the centre in order to give a large voltage output. The normal winding for light vehicle applications. Also 'Y' type stator. |
Starter MotorA powerful electric motor that produces high torque to rotate the engine for starting. |
Starter Solenoid FeedSmall wire that causes the solenoid to operate. Feed is from the starter switch and usually a relay. |
Starter SwitchThe switch that operates the starter motor. Usually part of the ignition switch. |
StaticA term that indicates components that are stationary. The opposite of dynamic when the components are in motion. |
Static BalanceThe balance of a rotating component about the rotational axis. Wheel balance has both static and dynamic quantities. |
StatisticsNumerical data. |
StatorStationary part of machine. Examples are the magnetic inductance component of an alternator and the reaction member in a torque converter. |
Stator WindingsElectrical windings on the stator of an alternator. |
