Ampacity

Electrical equipment; Generators

Ampacity is the safe current-carrying capacity of an electrical conductor in amperes as defined by code.

Amp Hours

Electrical equipment; Generators

Number of amps used/produced in a given hour.

Apparent Power

Electrical equipment; Generators

Apparent power is the product of current and voltage, expressed as kVA. It is real power (kW) divided by the power factor (PF).

Armature

Electrical equipment; Generators

The armature of an AC generator is the assembly of windings and metal core laminations in which the output voltage is induced. It is the stationary part (stator) in a revolving-field generator.

Average Daily Maximum Demand

Electrical equipment; Generators

Each day, there is a maximum amount of demand for electric power by the end-users. An average of the daily maximums can be calculated for a period of time.

Backup Protection

Electrical equipment; Generators

Backup protection consists of protective devices, which are intended to operate only after other protective devices have failed to operate or detect a fault.
