Parallel - Term used to describe the interconnection of cells or batteries in which all the like terminals are connected together. Results in increased capacity.
Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) - The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell when the circuit is open (no-load condition).
Energy - The output capability of a cell or battery, usually expressed in watt-hours.
Charger - Device associated with the rectifier and used to supply the battery with the electrical power (DC current) required to recharge and/or float charge the battery, thus ensuring the rated backup time.
Switching Transients - Rapid voltage peak up to 20,000 volts with a duration of 10mS to 100mS.
Transformer short-circuit voltage (Uscx %) - Relative measurement (%) of the internal impedance of a transformer. This short-circuit impedance is commonly called the short-circuit voltage because it is measured during a short-circuit test (shorted secondary winding subjected to a current set to In). For most common three-phase transformers, this value ranges between 3 and 6%.
Desorption - The opposite of absorption, whereby the material retained by a medium or another material is released.
