Description

@alihamdan

Explain some commonly used terms that may be confusing, namely:

  • potentials vs voltages. There is also some confusion in this topic with the symmetrical components.
  • origin of potentials (link to the potential reference page)
  • load results (line power, line current) vs load inputs (element power, element current), which are different in case of delta loads.
  • flexible load (voltage-dependence)
  • complex power (active and reactive) and apparent power (magnitude)
  • the ground and the concept of several grounds
  • floating-neutral (link to its page)
  • technical terms related to the code: quantity vs magnitude, scalar vs array
