V
Voltage DropThe voltage that is lost when an electrical current passes through a resistance. |
Voltage RegulatorAn electrical or electronic device to maintain a generator output within a narrow voltage range. |
Voltage StabiliserA mechanical (bimetal) or electronic device used to maintain voltage at a set level. In instrument systems this prevents readings changing as system voltage changes. |
Voltage StabilizerA mechanical (bimetal) or electronic device used to maintain voltage at a set level. In instrument systems this prevents readings changing as system voltage changes. |
VoltmeterInstrument for measuring electric potential. Can usually be set to read AC or DC on different ranges. |
VoltsUnit of electromotive force. Potential difference. |
VolumeThe capacity of a space as a numerical calculation. |
Volume SolidsThe percentage, on a volume basis, of the non-volatile material in a paint. |
Volumetric EfficiencyThe ratio of the actual amount (mass) of air entering an engine cylinder against the actual swept volume of the cylinder. |
Volumetric SensingA system used by alarms to sense movement inside the vehicle. |
