load based on fuel usage. This engine load indicates the total load on the engine. When the engine is running in diesel only mode at rated speed, the engine load factor will equal the fuel rate-based percent engine load factor.Full-Wave Rectifier - A full-wave rectifier changes the positive phase and the negative phase of alternating current to direct current.Gain - Gain relates to the ratio of input magnitude to output magnitude.Gate - A gate is an electronic part of a controlled rectifier (thyristor).Generate - The production of electricity.Generator Load Factor - The ratio of the average load to the peak load in a specified period. The average load is divided by the peak load.Generator Total Apparent Power - The product of the voltage times the total current flow which is expressed in terms of VA or kVA.Generator Total Real Power - The product of the voltage times the component of the total current that is in phase with the voltage is expressed in W or kW.Grounded - A device is grounded by making a connection to ground. A device could also be grounded by making a connection to a component that is connected to ground.Hertz (Hz) - Hertz is the unit of measurement for frequency. 1 Hz is equal to 1 cycle per second.Humidity - Humidity is the water content that is present in the air.Impedance - Impedance is the resistance to alternating current.Impulse Modulation - Impulse modulation changes the following characteristics of a wave: amplitude, frequency, and phase. Impulse modulation is accomplished by impressing one wave on another wave that has constant properties.Induce - Induce refers to the transfer of power from one device to another device. The transfer is done via a magnetic field or via an electric field.Interference - Interference is an unwanted mixture of electrical signals. Interference is associated with electrical noise.Internally Excited (IE) - Is an excitation system based on two auxiliary windings integrated into the main stator winding suppling power to the voltage regulator only.Instrumentation - Instrumentation is a group of instruments that are used for measuring a system function.Insulated - An insulated device is a device that is covered with a nonconductive material.kVA - Abbreviation for Kilovolt Amperes. kVA is a term that is used when electrical devices are rated. To calculate the kVA rating of a device, multiply the rated output (amperes) by the rated operating voltage.KVAR - Kilovolt Amperes Reactive is abbreviated as KVAR. KVAR is associated with the reactive power that flows in a power system. Reactive power does not load the generator set engine. Reactive power will cause thermal loss in the generator.KVAR Regulation - KVAR Regulation is one of the two methods that are used to regulate the reactive power output. Regardless of the generator real power output, the voltage regulator causes the generator to produce a constant value of KVAR. In this case, the power factor of the generator will change when the real power output changes. KVAR regulation is used when the generator is
