flammability
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Measure of the material's ability to support combustion.
flashover
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A disruptive discharge around or over the surface of a solid or liquid insulator.
frequency
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time. Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz).
grounded
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Parts which are connected so that when the installation is complete, it is substantially of the same potential as the earth.
harmonic
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
An integral multiple of the fundamental frequency (60 Hz) that becomes a component of the current.
harmonic distortion
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Distortion of an AC waveform caused by multiples of the fundamental frequency (harmonics). Odd triplet harmonics (thirds, ninths, etc.) may result in large currents on the ...
heat sink
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Any device that absorbs and draws heat off a hot object, radiating it into the surrounding atmosphere.
