Current (inrush) - Temporary current observed in a network when electrical devices are energized, generally due to the magnetic circuits of the devices. The effect is measured by the current's maximum peak value and the rms current value it generates.
Closed-Circuit Voltage (CCV) - The potential or voltage of a battery when it is discharging or charging.
Discharge Rate - The rate, usually expressed in amperes, at which electrical current is taken from the battery.
Fuse - Device used for cutting off an electrical current in the event of an abusive condition.
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.
RS232C (Recommended standard RS232C) - Standard defining the communication circuits between devices for synchronous and asynchronous transmissions on the following types of lines - two-wire, four-wire, point-to-point, telephone lines and local links with short cables. Though the standard covers only transmissions over distances up to 15 meters, it is often possible to ensure correct transmission over greater distances using high-quality shielded cable in a reasonably satisfactory electrical environment. Most terminals and devices on the market can implement this transmission standard.
Constant Power Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the current during the discharge increases as the battery voltage decreases.
