12 List of Terms

12.1

Technical terminology

DC/DC booster
SBS
Appliance protection
IGBT
Class D
LED
PFC
PWM
SNMP
VFD
VI
VFI
Circuit technology for increasing a DC voltage to a
higher voltage level
Static Bypass Switch
Term from overvoltage technology
Classic mains overvoltage protection consists of a
lightning surge arrester (class B), overvoltage protection
(class C) and, finally, the so-called appliance protection
(class D) – see also http://www.phoenixcontact.de
("TRABTECH" topic)
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
The latest design of high-performance transistors with
minimum control power requirement (MOSFET
structure) and minimum losses on the output side
(structure of a bipolar transistor)
See appliance protection
Light Emitting Diode
Electronic semi-conductor component, commonly
referred to as an LED, used for optic signalling.
Power Factor Correction
Circuit technology for minimising system disturbances
(particularly important when connecting non-linear
loads)
Pulse Width Modulation
Here: circuit technology for generating a sinusoidal
voltage of the highest quality from an existing DC
voltage
Simple Network Management Protocol
A protocol encountered frequently in networks for
managing handling components
/
Output Voltage and Frequency Dependent on mains
supply. The UPS output is dependent on mains voltage
and frequency fluctuations. Earlier designation:
OFFLINE
Output Voltage Independent from mains supply
The UPS output is dependent on mains frequency
fluctuations, but the mains voltage is prepared by
electronic / passive voltage control units. Earlier
designation: LINE-INTERACTIVE
Output Voltage and Frequency Independent from mains
supply. The UPS output is independent of mains voltage
and frequency fluctuations. Earlier designation: ONLINE
