Voltage

Electrical equipment; Generators

The amount of electrical pressure that forces electricity to flow in power lines.

Voltage Dip

Electrical equipment; Generators

Voltage dip is the dip in voltage that results when a load is added, occurring before the regulator can correct it, or resulting from the functioning of the voltage regulator to ...

Voltage Regulation

Electrical equipment; Generators

Voltage regulation is a measurement that states the difference between maximum and minimum steady-state voltage as a percentage of nominal voltage.

Voltage Spike

Electrical equipment; Generators

Typically caused by lightning or when the power suddenly comes back on after an outage. Power spikes like this often result in serious damage to electronic components.

Watt-Hour Demand Meter

Electrical equipment; Generators

A watt-hour demand meter is similar to a watt-hour meter except that it also provides an indication of the highest kW load level achieved during operation.
