voltage (E) Telecom Definition
Electric potential, expressed in volts (V).Voltage is the push, or pressure, behind current flow. See also current and volt.
voltage Usage Examples

Converse of object

  • withstand: Firstly, the primary winding must be able to withstand the peak primary voltage across the number of turns which are utilized.
  • induce: The voltage induced in the coil is proportional to the change in flux through it ( Faraday's Law?

Adjective modifier

  • nominal: Step 3: We are going to use a 3 cell lipo making the nominal voltage 11.
  • analog: The reference voltage is compared against our analog input voltage.

Modifies a noun

  • divider: Sometimes the voltage divider resistor will be a tapped wire-wound type.
  • regulator: All panels over 18 watts will require a voltage regulator.
  • waveform: A controller in the synchronous buck converter switches the FETs according to the input voltage waveform to achieve rectification.
  • downlights: The advantage of low voltage 12v downlights versus 240v mains voltage downlights is a thicker filament.
  • switchgear: More specialized work such as maintenance of high voltage switchgear or control system modification is almost certainly likely to require additional training and experience.
  • halogen: Don't confuse low energy bulbs with low voltage halogen light bulbs.

Preposition: across

  • resistor: If this test shows little or no voltage across the resistor, you're probably all set.
  • capacitor: By applying a bias voltage across the capacitors, an electric field is set up within the ferroelectric, causing its permitivity to change.

Preposition: of

  • volt: This corresponds to an output voltage of 40 volts.

  • excitation: You can adjust excitation voltage, input gain, offset nulling and output scaling.
  • capacitor: The peak primary current can be found by dividing the " fully charged " capacitor voltage by the surge impedance.
  • dc: Input modules sense the presence of either an ac or dc voltage, and will send a TTL signal back to the computer.
  • emitter: The transistor base voltage is maintained at approx 0.6V above the output voltage required thus regulating the transistor emitter voltage.
  • bias: By making the reference bias voltages applied to the diodes equal, an approximate square wave output is obtained from a sine wave input.
