  2. Full load hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_load_hour

    Full Load hour is a measure of the degree of utilisation of a technical system. [1] [2] [3] Full load hours refer to the time for which a plant would have to be operated at nominal power in order to convert the same amount of electrical work as the plant has actually converted within a defined period of time, during which breaks in operation or partial load operation can also occur.

  3. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    is the voltage at maximum load. The maximum load is the one that draws the greatest current, i.e. the lowest specified load resistance (never short circuit); is the voltage at minimum load. The minimum load is the one that draws the least current, i.e. the highest specified load resistance (possibly open circuit for some types of linear ...

  4. Prospective short-circuit current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospective_short-circuit...

    The application of a low voltage allows a small current to pass from the socket back through earth to the supply transformer and distribution board. The resistance measured can be used to calculate the short-circuit current.

  5. Power rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rating

    The power is measured while varying the resistive load on the module between open and closed circuit. The maximum power measured is the nominal power of the module in Watts. Colloquially, this is also written as "W p"; this format is colloquial as it is outside the standard by adding suffixes to standardized units.

  6. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    The reasons given for this approach to power supply are that it eliminates cross-load problems, simplifies and reduces internal wiring that can affect airflow and cooling, reduces costs, increases power supply efficiency, and reduces noise by bringing the power supply fan speed under the control of the motherboard.

  7. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Any electrical load that contains a substantial component of metallic resistive heating elements, such as an electric kiln or a bank of tungsten-filament incandescent bulbs, will draw a high current until the metallic element reaches operating temperature. For example, wall switches intended to control incandescent lamps will have a "T" rating ...

  8. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    Load affects the performance of circuits with respect to output voltages or currents, such as in sensors, voltage sources, and amplifiers. Mains power outlets provide an easy example: they supply power at constant voltage, with electrical appliances connected to the power circuit collectively making up the load.

  9. Control panel (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_panel_(engineering)

    A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system [1] that users can access, such as the control panel of a security system (also called control unit).
