Interlocking: IN COMPUTER COMMUNICATION, WHEN TWO devices BEGIN to communicate, they must KNOW each other's CONDITION AND THE METHOD TO BE used, and if they do NOT agree, the computer will inform the user of the relevant information.

Grounding: Refers to the power system, in addition to HOTLIN and NEUTRALLIN, the PIN in the middle round head is the so-called ground PIN, its ground function in addition to some elements with current or noise * into the earth, the biggest function to protect the user from electric shock, UPS and the main, Some UPS will mark the voltage between the neutral line and the ground line to ensure that the product will not cause electric shock to the human body.




Ground and ground resistance: All kinds of computer and communication equipment have ground cables, and connected to the room or power distribution room of the general ground cables, called ground cables. Grounding is the use of common ground wire will be all kinds of * into the ground, so as to avoid the impact of noise on the work of the equipment, but also to avoid the computer equipment hidden damage. The better the conductivity of the ground wire to the earth, the better the grounding effect. The grounding resistance reflects the connectivity. The smaller the grounding resistance, the better the connectivity.

Joule: A basic unit of energy, the amount of energy required to move an object 1 meter with a force of 1 Newton. This is called a joule.

Poor contact: refers to the loose and poor contact in the connecting part of the electrical 
appliance. Poor contact will lead to the decrease of voltage and increase of loss.

Transistor: a total of three feet, generally B, E, C, B, E between the application of a small current signal, can change the flow of E, C between the current, play the role of current valve and current amplification. The transistor is a current-driven device.

Insulation resistance: The degree of electrical isolation between devices or circuits and enclosures, usually expressed as insulation resistance.

Static switch: A device consisting of thyristor for switching or switching compensation, capable of zero (0ms) conversion.

Reliability (MTBF) : describes the average operating time of a device. A larger MTBF indicates a longer service life of the device.

GROUNDLOOP (ground loop) : in the computer, there are many sockets or data transmission lines and other frequently used places have ground lines, and connected to other ground lines, called "ground loop". Its role is to use the common ground cable way to excess feedback current and * into the ground, so as not to cause the line and data confusion. In addition, the grounding loop will be embedded in the system of * into the ground, reduce the computer caused by noise damage.

Reliability (MTBF) : describes the average operating time of a device. A larger MTBF indicates a longer service life of the device.

Air switch: A current protection device, that is, when the current exceeds the rating of the air switch specification, the switch will jump. The air switch can prevent fire caused by overcurrent in the wiring or electronic equipment in the building.

1. Transformer efficiency, safety is very important, depends on the material and processing technology.
2. The transformer itself has heat dissipation problems, so the ventilation of the power supply equipment can not be blocked.

Startup impulse current: capacitors in the rectifier will draw a large charging current at the startup moment, cathode display (CRT) needs a large demagnetization current at the startup moment, transformer has excitation current at the startup moment, etc., so that the UPS must bear a large impact current when the load equipment is turned on.

Insoluble wire switch: A current protection device that allows the BREAKER to be tripped when the current exceeds the rated value of the insoluble wire switch (BREAKRT: commonly referred to as a fuse switch or circuit breaker in households). If the BRESKER rating is exceeded, the wiring or electrical wiring in the building may overheat and cause fire.

Phasic load: A load device that can be added or removed quickly.

Inverter (DC/AC) : A converter that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The UPS uses an inverter to convert battery energy into alternating current (AC) for AC loads. The performance of the inverter is different, the output alternating current waveform has stepped wave and SINEWAVE (SINEWAVE) two kinds, distortion coefficient (THD) is also different due to the performance of the inverter.

Withstand voltage: indicates the maximum voltage that can be withstood between the live parts (such as the housing and panel) of the device and the live parts. If the voltage is higher than the withstand voltage, a breakdown will occur. Insulation and voltage resistance are essential for personnel safety.

Cold start: Starts the UPS when there is no mains power. Some UPS cannot be started.
