Capacitors
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 neutral line in a ...
heat sink
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Any device that absorbs and draws heat off a hot object, radiating it into the surrounding atmosphere.
