The condition of being electrically separated from other metallic structures or the environment.
The unit price and quantity to which it applies as specified in a rate schedule or contract.
A statement of the electric rate(s), terms, and conditions for electricity sale or supply.
A type of heating system where heat, resulting when electric current flows through an "element" or conductor, such as Nichrome, which has a high resistance, is radiated to a room.
The electrical resistance offered by a material to the flow of current, times the cross-sectional area of current flow and per unit length of current path; the reciprocal of the conductivity. Also called resistivity or specific resistance.
The physically connected generation, transmission, and distribution facilities and components operated as a unit.
All the conductors and electricity using devices that are connected to a source of electromotive force (or generator).
A measure of the amount of energy lost during the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.
The total amount of electric energy loss in an electric system between the generation source and points of delivery.
A thermometer which uses a transducing element whose element proper-ties are a function of its thermal state. Common meteorological examples of such thermometers are the resistance thermometer and the thermoelectric thermometer.
A corporation, person, agency, authority or other legal entity that owns and/or operates facilities for the generation, transmission, distribution or sale of electricity primarily for use by the public.
Those privately or publicly owned establishments that generate, transmit, distribute, or sell electricity.
The process of producing electricity by transforming other forms or sources of energy into electrical energy; measured in kilowatt-hours.
Corrosion that is accompanied by a flow of electrons between cathodic and anodic areas on metallic surfaces.
The weight of an element or group of elements oxidized or reduced at 100~ efficiency by the passage of a unit quantity of electricity. Usually expressed as grams per coulomb.
