Actuate - Actuation relates to putting something in motion.Alternating Current (AC) - Alternating Current is an electric current that reverses direction at regular intervals. The intervals are (50 times per second in 50 Hz or 60 times per second in 60 Hz).Anode - An anode is the positive end of a diode or an anode is the positive end of a rectifier.Blocking Rectifier - A blocking rectifier permits direct current flow in only one direction.Bolted - A bolted device uses a bolt to hold two or more parts together.Bridge - A bridge is a circuit that is used to measure small quantities of current, voltage, or resistance.Bridge Rectifier - A bridge rectifier is a circuit that is used to change alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).Buildup - A buildup is a gradual increase in voltage.Cathode - A cathode is the negative end of a diode or a cathode is the negative end of a rectifier.Capacitance - Capacitance is the ability to store an electrical charge.Capacitor - A capacitor is a device that will store an electrical charge.Circuit Breaker - A circuit breaker is an automatic switch that is used to open a circuit.Circulating Current - Circulating current is the flow of current between two or more generators that are working in parallel. Circulating current is also the flow of current between two or more generators that are parallel with a utility line.Conduct - Conducting relates to allowing the flow of current.Constant Voltage Regulation - Constant Voltage Regulation is one of the two methods of voltage regulation. To maintain the line voltage, Constant voltage regulators allow the field to be forced to the saturation point. This process allows the engine to be overloaded. On large block load applications, the engine may not recover.Continuity - Continuity provides a path for current flow.Control - A control is a device that controls another device. A control is also a circuit that controls a device.Cross Current Compensation - Cross current compensation is a method that is used for reactive power equalization.Current Transformer (CT) - A current transformer is used to step down higher line current.Direct Current (DC) - Direct current is current flow that moves in only one direction in a given circuit.Damping - Damping refers to decreasing the amplitude of a signal.DEAC - Diesel Engine Antifreeze/CoolantDe-energized - A de-energized input refers to stopping the current that is going to a component.Distribution Winding - Distribution windings go from one end of the core to the other end of the core. These windings are arranged in groups that are located in several slots.Droop - Droop refers to a decrease.Electrostatic Charge - Electrostatic charge is electricity that is caused by induced voltage and stored charge.Energized - An energized input refers to activating a device.Engine Load Factor - Used to read and program an engine load percentage at the current engine speed. Calculation is based on current fuel rate, idle (no load) fuel rate, and rated fuel rate.Exciter - An exciter supplies direct current (DC)
