Capacitors

Over potential

Electronic components; Capacitors

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

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 to assure quality ...

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 to remain lit ...

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 discharges may, or may not, ...

PH

Electronic components; Capacitors

The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, neutrality being at PH 7. Acid solutions are under 7 alkaline are over 7.

Plastic

Electronic components; Capacitors

High polymeric substances, including both natural and synthetic products, but excluding the rubbers, that are capable of flowing under heat and pressure at one time or another.
