  • Ambient temperature (omgivningstemperatur) – the temperature of the surrounding area
  • Attentuation (dämpning) – the process of making something weaker or less
  • Switch (strömställare) – a piece of equipment that starts or stops the flow of electricity to a piece of equipment
  • Ammeter (amperemeter) – an electrical measuring instrument used to measure electron flow in amperes
  • Conduit (skyddsrör) – a duct or tube enclosing electrical wires or cables
  • Appliance (apparat) – a piece of equipment, esp. Electrical equipment, used in people`s homes
  • Circuit breaker (överspänningssydd) – a piece of equipment that stops an electrical current reaching a machine if the machine becomes dangerous
  • Printed Circuit (kretskort) – a set of connections in a piece of electrical equipment consisting of thin lines of metal on a board
  • Arcing (ljusbågsbildning) – flash o flight formed by the flow of electricity between two points
  • Impedance (impedans) – the measure of the power of a piece of equipment to stop the flow of alternating current
  • Direct current (likström) – a flow of electricity that flows in one direction only
  • Alternating Current (växelström) – a flow of electricity that changes direction frequently and quickly
  • Rectifier (likriktare) – a device that changes AC to DC
  • Inverter (växelriktare) – an electrical device that changes DC to AC
  • Transformer (transformator) – a piece of equipment for changing electricity from one voltage to another
  • Relay (relää) – an electrically operated remote switch whose contacts are closed or opened by an electromagnetic field
  • Coil (spole) – wire in a continouous circular shape that produces light or heat when electricity is passed through it
  • Capacitor (kondensator) – piece of equipment that collects and stores electricity
  • Resistor (resistor) – an electrical circuit element used to produce a voltage drop by dissipating some of the electrical energy in the form of heat
  • Crimping (krimpning) – connecting two pieces of wire together by pressing them hard together
  • Harness/bundle (bunt) – wires grouped together
  • Diode (diod) – a device that allows a flow of electricity in one direction but not another
  • Alternator (växelströmsgenerator) – a type of generator in which AC current electricity is generated in the fixed windings and converted to DC by solid state rectifying diodes
  • Distributor (fördelare) – the part of a high tension magneto which distributes the high voltage to each spark plug at the proper time
  • Solenoid (elektromagnetisk spiral) – a coil or wire with a moveable core
  • Resistance (motstånd) – the opposition that a material offers the flow of current
  • Winding (härva)
