Earthing system TN - Earthing system in which the exposed conductive parts are interconnected and connected to the neutral. The neutral is connected to the earth. The installation must be de-energized immediately in the event of an insulation fault.
Thermistor - A temperature sensitive resistor, usually made from specially processed oxides.
Battery cells - The interconnected battery elements that supply electrical power created by electrolytic reaction.
Noise level - Acoustical decibel level of a source of noise, measured according to the applicable ISO standard.
C-Rate (also see Hourly Rate) - Discharge or charge current, in amperes, expressed in multiples of the rated capacity. For example, C/10 discharge current for a battery rated at 1.5 Ah is:
Secure Waste Landfill - A landfill designed for disposal of normal household trash but which meets government standards designed to protect the environment.
Gassing - The evolution of gas from one or more of the electrodes in a cell. Gassing commonly results from local action (self-discharge) or from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte during charging.
