| Bandwidth |
| The data a cable can measured in bits per second
(bps). |
| Battery Backup |
| A battery or a set of batteries in a UPS system.
Its purpose is to provide an alternate source of power if the
main source of power if the main source is interrupted. |
| Battery Charger |
| A device or a system which provides the electrical
power needed to keep the battery backup fully charged. |
| Battery Current Limit |
| System voltage control that limits the battery
charge current to a preset value. |
| Bi-Directional Converter |
| A device which charges ( or converts) alternative
– current power to direct-current power and vice versa. |
| Blackout |
| A total loss of the AC utility ( Commercial Power) |
| Boost |
| See buck and boost |
| Brownout |
| A reduction in the voltage of the AC utility without
complete loss of power. |
| Buck and Boost |
| A proprietary voltage regulation process used
when an over- voltage or under- voltage situation occurs in
the UPS. Under- Voltage is boosted to make the voltage greater,
and over-voltage is bucked to reduce it. The result is less
reliance on the UPS battery extending overall battery life. |
| Bus Voltage |
| The actual voltage supplied to the load as measured
at the bus bars. |
| Bypass |
| A circuit used to change the path of electrical
power so that it goes around ( or bypasses ) its normal path.
In the UPS, the bypass circuit is used to route the power around
the major electronics in the UPS so they can be serviced without
power interruption. |
|
| C 10 |
| Symbol for ampere-hour capacity of a battery at
the 10- hours discharge rate, to a specified end voltage |
| CE |
| Conformite Europeene ( European Conformity) |
| Circuit Breaker ( CB) |
| A device for manually opening(breaking) or closing
a circuit to interrupt or apply electric power to an electrical
apparatus . A circuit breaker can also open a circuit automatically
when it senses an over load. |
| Configurable Parameter |
| An item that is stored in the SM50 non-volatile
memory and that defines some part of the SM50 operation. All
configurable parameters may be set using the Intergy Configuration
Editor. Most may also be set from the SM50 Keypad or from Power
management. |
| Configuration file |
| The information or data loaded into and the supervisory
module that controls the behavior of an Intergy Power System
to suit the particular requirements of a customer’s site
or installation. |
| Configurations Database |
| This is the total set of configurable parameters.This
is the total set of configurable parameters. |
| Conformite Europeene ( European Conformity
) |
| CE marking is used to signify that a product complies
with all the applicable performance and safety standards adopted
by the members of the European Union and is therefore certified
for sale in European Union Countries. |
| Converter |
| A device which changes electricity energy from
one form to another, such as from alternating current to direct
current. |
| Current |
| Amount of electricity that flows through a conductor,
such as a wire. |
| Current Share |
| A process used to balance out-put currents between
rectifiers . See Active Current Share. |
