A voltage above the normal operating voltage of a device circuit.

overvoltage

Electronic components; Capacitors

A voltage above the normal operating voltage of a device or circuit. In a dielectric withstand test, capacitors are overvoltage-tested (Hi-potted) at 1.5X or 2X its rated voltage ...

parallel lamp operation

Electronic components; Capacitors

Refers to ballasts that employ multiple-output current paths from a single ballast to allow lamps to operate independently of one another, allowing other lamps operated by ballast ...

partial discharge

Electronic components; Capacitors

A partial discharge is an electric discharge that only partially bridges the insulation between conductors when the voltage stress exceeds a critical value. These partial ...
