Earthing system TT - Earthing system in which the neutral and the exposed conductive parts are directly earthed. The installation must be de-energized immediately in the event of an insulation fault.
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).
Pulse Current - A periodic current drain of higher than normal drain rates.
Specific Energy - The ratio of the energy output of a cell or battery to its weight (Wh/kg). This term is used interchangeably with gravimetric energy density.
Continuous Test - A test in which a battery is discharged to a prescribed end point voltage without interruption.
Ampere-Hour Capacity - The quantity of electricity measured in ampere-hours (Ah) which may be delivered by a cell or battery under specified conditions.
Discharge Rate - The rate, usually expressed in amperes, at which electrical current is taken from the battery.
