Reactance (subtransient Uscx %, for generator) - Relative measurement (%) of the internal impedance of an AC generator during harmonic phenomena. This reactance, also called the longitudinal subtransient reactance of the generator, is sometimes identified as X"d. For most common generators, the value ranges between 15 and 20%. It can drop to 12% for optimized systems and to 6% for special devices.
Hourly Rate (also see C-Rate) - A discharge rate, in amperes, of a battery which will deliver the specified hours of service to a given cutoff voltage.
Capacity Retention (or Charge Retention) - The fraction of the full capacity available from a battery under specified conditions of discharge after it has been stored for a period of time.
UPS (single) - A UPS made up of one single UPS unit (rectifier/charger, inverter and bypass) and a battery.
Cutoff Voltage (also see End Voltage) - The battery voltage at which the discharge is terminated. The cutoff voltage is specified by the battery manufacturer and is generally a function of discharge rate.
Volumetric Energy Density - The ratio of the energy output of a cell or battery to its volume (Wh/L).
RMS Voltage - The range of usable voltage + or - 170 VAC.
