Incazelo yesichazamazwi yegama elithi "limiter" iyidivayisi noma indlela ekhawulela noma elawula inani, ileveli, noma isivinini sento ethile. Ivamise ukusetshenziselwa ukuvimbela into ukuthi yeqe umkhawulo othile noma ukulawula ukuphuma kwayo ngaphakathi kwebanga elithile. Isibonelo, isikhawuli singase sisetshenziselwe ukukhawulela isivinini semoto noma ukulawula ivolumu yesignali yomsindo. Kumongo we-electronics, isikhawuli sivame ukusetshenziselwa ukuvimbela ukuhlanekezela noma ukulimala kwesekhethi ngokukhawulela i-amplitude yesiginali yokufaka.
