(electricity) The voltage at which an electric discharge occurs between two electrodes that are separated by an insulator.

Synonym of flashover voltage

an autotransformer that has its winding divided into (normally) ten equal-turn sections so that when an alternating voltage is applied to the whole winding the voltage across each section is exactly one tenth

(physics) A law showing that energy is conserved around an electrical circuit: the directed sum of the electrical potential differences around a circuit must be zero.

Misspelling of Kirchhoff's voltage law.

The difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when disconnected from any circuit. The open-circuit voltage of a cell is its EMF (electromotive force).

plural of open circuit voltage

plural of inductive voltage divider

Overhead transmission line from the power station to a transmission substation.

The highest voltage where partial discharge starts to cease to occur.
