Ground Loop

Electrical equipment; Generators

A condition that causes unwanted feedback when two or more circuits share a common electrical return or ground lines.

Bus Capacity

Electrical equipment; Generators

Bus capacity is the maximum load that can be carried on a system without causing degradation of the generator frequency to less than a prescribed level (usually 59 Hz in a 60 Hz system).

Bypass

Electrical equipment; Generators

A circuit used to change the path of the electrical power so that it goes around (or bypasses) its normal path.
