  2. Voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage

    Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. [1] [2] In a static electric field, it corresponds to the work needed per unit of charge to move a positive test charge from the first point to the second point.

    A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with hand tools.The most common types of power tools use electric motors.

  6. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...

  7. Wattmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattmeter

    Wattmeter. The wattmeter is an instrument for measuring the electric active power (or the average of the rate of flow of electrical energy) in watts of any given circuit. ...

  8. Voltage sag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_sag

    A voltage sag (U.S. English) or voltage dip [1] (British English) is a short-duration reduction in the voltage of an electric power distribution system. It can be caused by high current demand such as inrush current (starting of electric motors, transformers, heaters, power supplies) or fault current (overload or short circuit) elsewhere on the system.
