cascade system

English - English

Definition of cascade system in English English dictionary

A cascade (storage) system is a high pressure gas cylinder system which is used for the refilling of smaller compressed gas cylinders or air cylinders. Each of the large cylinders are filled by a compressor, but the cascade system allows small cylinders to be filled without the presence of a compressor. In addition, a cascade system is useful as a "reservoir" to allow a low-capacity compressor to meet the demand of filling several small cylinders in succession

The cascade system is also called tandem, or concatenated, system; the connection a cascade, tandem, or concatenated, connection, or a concatenation; and the control of the motors so obtained a tandem, or concatenation, control

A system or method of connecting and operating two induction motors so that the primary circuit of one is connected to the secondary circuit of the other, the primary circuit of the latter being connected to the source of supply; also, a system of electric traction in which motors so connected are employed
