Nominal power

Nominal power is the maximum permissible continuous power output indicated by the

manufacturer for a device or a system. Usually the device is also optimized so that the

efciency is at its maximum in case of operation with nominal power.

Nominal current

Nominal current is the absorbed current in case of electrical devices if the device is

supplied with the nominal voltage and yields its nominal power.

In electric systems and cables a protective earth conductor is frequently employed. This

is also called grounding wire, protective grounding device, soil, grounding or PE (Eng-

lish „protective earth“).

Photovoltaics (abbr.: PV)

The conversion of PV energy into electrical energy.

The name is composed of the component parts: Photos - the Greek word for light - and

Volta - after Alessandro Volta, a pioneer in electrical research.

Potential isolation

No conductive connection between two component parts.

Power dissipation

Power dissipation is designated as the difference between absorbed power and power

of a device or process yielded. Power dissipation is released mainly as heat.

PV cell

PV cells are large-surface photodiodes which convert light energy (generally sunlight)

into electrical energy. This comes about by utilization of the photoelectric effect (photo-

voltaics).

PV generator

System comprising a number of PV modules.
