Term Description
A.C. Resistance The total resistance offered by a device in an alternating current circuit due to inductive and capacitive effects, as well as the direct current resistance
Abrasion Resistance Ability of a wire, cable or material to resist surface wear
Accelerated Aging A test in which voltage, temperature, and other factors are increased above normal operating values to obtain observable deterioration in a relatively short period of time. The plotted results give expected service life under normal conditions.
Accelerated Life Test A test in which certain factors such as voltage, temperature, etc., to which a cable is subjected are increased in magnitude above normal operating values to obtain observable deterioration in a reasonable period of time
Accelerator A chemical additive which hastens a chemical reaction under specific conditions
Activator A chemical additive used to initiate the chemical reaction in a specific chemical mixture
Active Current In an alternating current, the component in phase with the voltage; the working component as distinguished from the idle or wattless component
Active Pressure In an A.C. circuit, the pressure which produces a current, as distinguished from the voltage impressed upon the circuit
Adhesion The state in which two surfaces are held together by interfacial forces which, may be chemical or mechanical in nature
Admittance The measure of the ease with which an alternating current flows in a circuit; the reciprocal of impedance
