Continuous Test - A test in which a battery is discharged to a prescribed end point voltage without interruption.
RS422A (Recommended standard RS422A) - Standard RS232C is sufficient for transmissions in a normal environment. For transmissions in a disturbed environment or over long distances, standard RS422A offers a differential operation option, with a balanced voltage, ensuring far superior performance. What is more, it can be used for multipoint links, with generally up to ten connection points (one sender and up to ten receivers).
Voltage Depression - An abnormal drop in voltage below expected values during the discharge of a battery.
Voltage (float) - DC voltage applied to the battery to maintain its charge level. This voltage depends on the type of battery, the number of cells and the manufacturer's recommendations.
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.
Short-Circuit Current (SCC) - The initial value of the current obtained from a battery in a circuit of negligible resistance.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) - A thermally reactive device which becomes highly resistive at a specific temperature or current.
