Inefficiency comes not just from the fact that the device is always conducting to some extent ( that happens even with class AB, yet its efficiency can be close to that of class B ); it is that the standing current is roughly half the maximum output current ( although this can be less with square law output stage ), together with the problem that a large part of the power supply voltage is developed across the output device at low signal levels ( as with classes AB and B, but unlike output stages such as class D ).

* Historically, valve amplifiers often used a class-A power amplifier simply because valves are large and expensive ; many class-A designs use only a single device.

A Buchholz relay is a safety device sensing the accumulation of gas in large oil-filled transformers, which will alarm on slow accumulation of gas or shut down the transformer if gas is produced rapidly in the transformer oil.

One problem with multistage reusable rockets is the difficulty of reusing even the first stage, and the development cost of such a large device.

If the current is large enough to generate more heat than the device can lose to its surroundings, the device heats up, causing its resistance to increase, and therefore causing even more heating.

This device where a large toroidal current is established ( 15 Mega-amps in ITER ) suffers from a fundamental problem of stability.

Virtual memory combines active RAM and inactive memory on Direct access storage device | DASD to form a large range of contiguous addresses.
