Remote Sense
What is Remote Sense?
Remote Sense is a function in power supplies and electronic loads that is used
to compensate for voltage drops in the connection leads.
Resistance
The electrical resistance indicates the extent to which the flow of current in a circuit is impeded. The greater the resistance, the lower the current flow at a constant voltage.
Ripple Test
What is a Ripple Test?A ripple test refers to the measurement of the residual ripple of voltage and current in direct current sources such as power supplies, batteries, PV strings, or DC-DC converters.
RMS (Root Mean Square)
RMS (Root Mean Square / Effective Value):
Key figure for alternating quantities such as current or voltage.
The RMS value – also called the effective value – indicates which DC quantity would produce the same heating effect in a resistor.
RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232)
RS-232 = Recommended Standard 232.
Standardized serial interface for data transmission between two devices.
