Load power - Apparent power Pu that the UPS inverter supplies under given load conditions. It is less than or equal to the rated output Pn. The ratio Pu/Pn defines the % load of the inverter.
Short-Circuit Current (SCC) - The initial value of the current obtained from a battery in a circuit of negligible resistance.
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
Rechargeable (or "Secondary") Battery - A galvanic battery which, after discharge, may be restored to the fully charged state by the passage of an electrical current through the cell in the opposite direction to that of discharge.
Microsecond - 1,000,000th of a second (mS).
Cell - The basic electrochemical unit used to generate or store electrical energy.
Cubicle (parallel UPS unit) - Cubicle containing a rectifier/charger and an inverter. It is connected to one or several other identical cubicles and a bypass cubicle to make up a parallel UPS.
