Electrical Line Noise - Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) are unwanted electrical signals that produce undesirable effects in sensitive electronic equipment.
Bypass (manual) - Manually-operated switch used to supply the load via direct connection to utility power during servicing of the UPS system.
Constant Resistance Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the resistance of the equipment load remains constant throughout discharge.
ISO 9002 - Standard defining procedures and systems used to attain an internationally recognized level of production quality. ISO 9002 certification is proof that the quality system effectively complies with the standard. Certification is carried out by an official organization (AFAQ), unaffiliated with either clients or suppliers or the company itself, and is valid for a three-year period with yearly audits and checks.
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.
Working Voltage - The typical voltage or range of voltage of a battery during discharge (also called operating voltage or running voltage).
COS phil - A measure of the phase shift between the fundamental current wave and the fundamental voltage wave observed at the terminals of a non-linear load.
