A device used to control a quantity, e.g. voltage or speed.


Note: A circuit that allows power to be dissipated in a secondary circuit when there is an excess such that damage might occur is called a current-dumping circuit.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
