overcurrent with inverse tripping characteristic

The plot of the current versus voltage characteristics of a photovoltaic cell, module, or array. Three important points on the I-V curve are the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and maximum power point.

1) Electrical impedance is the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied. 2) The combination of resistance and reactance affecting the flow of an alternating current, generally expressed in ohms.

1) Fuerza antagónica total al flujo de corriente en un circuito de CA. 2) Combinación de resistencia y reactancia que afectan el flujo de una corriente alterna, generalmente expresada en Ohms.

Una forma de impuesto al consumo o las ventas. Desde la perspectiva del comprador, es un impuesto sobre el precio de compra. Desde la del vendedor, es un impuesto al valor agregado del producto, material o servicio, desde un punto de vista contable, por esta etapa de su fabricación o distribución. El fabricante remite al gobierno la diferencia entre estos dos montos y retiene el resto para sí mismo para compensar los impuestos que tuvo que pagar previamente sobre las entradas. También se conoce como un impuesto general a las ventas (GST).

Also known as action turbine. This is a turbine that has the same pressure before and after the impeller. It operates in air at atmospheric pressure.
