- Company Profile:
A voltage-dependent variable resistor. Normally used to protect sensitive equipment from power spikes or lightning strikes by shunting the energy to ground.
Industry:Energy
The number of repetitions per unit time of a complete waveform, expressed in Hertz (Hz).
Industry:Energy
A unit of electrical force equal to that amount of electromotive force that will cause a steady current of one ampere to flow through a resistance of one ohm.
Industry:Energy
This indicates the variability in the output frequency. Some loads will switch off or not operate properly if frequency variations exceed 1%.
Industry:Energy
The amount of electromotive force, measured in volts, that exists between two points.
Industry:Energy
Many inverters have sensing circuits that will disconnect the unit from the battery if input voltage limits are exceeded.
Industry:Energy
A chemical element, metallic in nature, used in making certain kinds of solar cells and semiconductor devices.
Industry:Energy
The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere under an electrical pressure of one volt. One watt equals 1/746 horsepower, or one joule per second. It is the product of voltage and current (amperage).
Industry:Energy
A crystalline, high-efficiency compound used to make certain types of solar cells and semiconductor material.
