Micro-outage (or micro-interruption) - Total loss in the supply of power for 10 ms.
Inverter (off-line or stand-by) - UPS configuration in which the inverter is parallel-mounted to the load supply line and backs up the mains. This configuration offers a substantial cost reduction but is applicable only to low outputs, under 3 kVA, because it results in an interruption lasting up to 10 ms during transfer and does not filter inrush currents.
1.5 Ah/10 = 150 mA (A cell's capacity is not the same at all discharge rates and usually increases with decreasing rate.)
Noise level - Acoustical decibel level of a source of noise, measured according to the applicable ISO standard.
Current Density - The current per unit active area of the surface of an electrode.
Service Life - The period of useful life of a battery before a predetermined end-point voltage is reached.
Current loop (20 mA) - Transmission system used on certain devices and offering better performance than the RS232C. It provides a high degree of immunity to interference and is easy to implement, but has not been standardized.
