Terms and Definitions
1. RATED POWER:
Rated Power is the value of maximum load power specified at rated ambient temperature (usually 70℃).
2. RATED VOLTAGE:
Rated Voltage is the value of maximum DC or AC voltage (rms) specified at rated ambient temperature. RATED VOLTAGE =
3. MAXIMUM WORKING VOLTAGE:
Maximum Working Voltage is the maximum limiting value of above-mentioned Rated Voltage.
4. SHORT TIME OVERLOAD VOLTAGE:
Short Time Overload Voltage is the value of allowable overload voltage that can be applied in 5 seconds (Typically 2.5 times of above-mentioned Rated Voltage).
5. DIELECTRIC WITHSTANDING VOLTAGE:
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage is the value of allowable AC voltage (rms) that can be applied between the electrode and the outer coating in 1 minute.
6. DERATING CURVE:
When the ambient temperature surpasses rated ambient temperature, the value of rated power should be declines as per following DERATING CURVE (usually present as a percentage).
7. RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (T.C.R.):
When the resistors used under different operating ambient temperature, the resistance value will change according to the different operating ambient temperature, usually present in PPM /℃.
