Active power divided by apparent power = P/S. (See power factor
PF). Negative sign indicates reverse power.
CT Current transformer
CT
PRI
Nominal primary value of current transformer
CT
SEC
Nominal secondary value of current transformer
Dead band See hysteresis.
DI Digital input
DO Digital output, output relay
DSR Data set ready. An RS232 signal. Input in front panel port of
Allen-Bradley relays to disable rear panel local port.
DST Daylight saving time. Adjusting the official local time forward by
one hour for summer time.
DTR Data terminal ready. An RS232 signal. Output and always true (+8 Vdc)
in front panel port of Allen-Bradley relays.
FFT Fast Fourier transform. Algorithm to convert time domain signals to
frequency domain or to phasors.
Hysteresis I.e. dead band. Used to avoid oscillation when comparing two near
by values.
