polystyrene
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A thermoplastic produced by the polymerization of styrene (vinyl benzene).
potential voltage
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The work per unit charge required to bring any charge to the point at which the potential exists.
potting
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Material used to completely surround and cover the capacitor winding. Potting compounds protect components, dampen sound, and dissipate heat.
power
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The time rate at which work is done; equal to W/t where W is amount of work done in time t. Power will be obtained in watts if W is expressed in joules and t in seconds.
power factor
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Measurement of the relationship between the AC source voltage and current. Formula: Power Factor equals Watts input divided by the product of Line Volts multiplied by Line Amps.
pressure
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Force measured per unit area. Absolute pressure is measured with respect to zero pressure. Gauge pressure is measured with respect to atmospheric pressure.
radio frequency interference (RFI)
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Form of electromagnetic interference that can be radiated through the air.
