Generators

Over-Temperature Protection

Electrical equipment; Generators

Design feature that protects the silicon die from exceeding its designed operating temperature range. The device will thermally cycle until the abnormal condition is corrected.

A power surge that happens when high-current items are switched off. The suddenly surplus voltage is dissipated across the rest of the circuit and can sometimes far exceed the peak current of your ...

Pass Thru

Electrical equipment; Generators

Refers to a junction box connexion where the network bus comes to a connector and then continues straight on through. In most Pass Thru connections, very little input and output is done.

PDU

Electrical equipment; Generators

Electrical equipment; Generators

Peak load is the highest point in the kilowatt demand curve of a facility. This is used as the basis for the utility company's demand charge.

Pilot lamp

Electrical equipment; Generators

A lamp used to indicate the condition of an associated circuit.

Phase Rotation

Electrical equipment; Generators

Phase rotation describes the order (A-B-C, R-S-T, or U-V-W) of the phase voltages at the output terminals of a three-phase generator. The generator phase rotation must match the facility phase ...
