load current
51Marine current power — is a form of marine energy obtained from harnessing of the kinetic energy of marine currents, such as the Gulf stream. Although not widely used at present, marine current power has an important potential for future electricity generation. Marine… …
52Prospective short circuit current — The prospective short circuit current (PSCC) is the highest electric current which can exist in a particular electrical system under short circuit conditions. It is determined by the voltage and impedance of the supply system. It is of the order… …
53List of current systems for electric rail traction — This a list of the power supply systems that are, or have been, used for tramway and railway electrification systems. Note that the voltages are nominal and vary depending on load and distance from the substation. Many modern trams and trains use …
54Fault current limiter — A Fault Current Limiter (FCL) is a device which limits the prospective fault current when a fault occurs (eg in a power transmission network). The term is generally applied to superconducting devices, whereas non superconducting devices (such as… …
55Palletized load system — The Palletized Load System (PLS) is a logistics supply program that entered service in the United States Army in 1993. It performs line haul (long distance), local haul (short distance), unit resupply, and other missions in the tactical… …
56Geomagnetically induced current — Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC), affecting the normal operation of long technological conductor systems, are a manifestation at ground level of space weather. During space weather events (or geomagnetic storms) Earth s near space current… …
57reactive load — noun : a load which is carried by an alternating current generating station or system in which the current and voltage are out of phase and which is measured in volt amperes or kilovolt amperes …
58condensive load — kən ˈden(t)siv noun : a reactive load in which the current leads the voltage called also leading load …
59rated load — noun : the load a machine is designed to carry as usually stated on the nameplate in appropriate power units (as of horsepower for motors and engines or of kilovolt amperes for alternating current generators) * * * 1. the load a machine or… …
60exciting current — noun 1. : a current that excites or energizes an electrical apparatus (as the field magnets of a dynamo) 2. : the current taken by the primary of a transformer on no load * * * Elect. See field current …
