The equilibrium voltage of the fuel cell where no current is flowing through it.
Helpful?           0
The voltage at a battery terminal when no appreciable current is flowing.

This is the voltage that a PV module will exhibit when exposed to sunlight, with zero current being drawn. This number is not sensitibe to the light intensity, but is a function of the PV module physical temperature.
Helpful?           0
The electrical potential of a circuit with no current flowing in it.

Open Circuit Voltage measured across the socket the lamp screws into, with the ballast powered on. It is dangerous to stick a voltmeter into such a socket without precise knowledge of the ballast because exceedingly high voltages could be present.
Helpful?           0
The voltage between the terminals of a cell or voltage when the circuit is open (off-load condition).
Helpful?           0
it is the voltage, expressed in Volts, measured at the power outlets of the generator, when the circuit (welding, cutting, charging) is open, i.e. there is no current circulation.
Helpful?           0
(VOC) Voltage produced by a Photovoltaic cell with no load applied when the cell is exposed to standard insolation conditions, measured with a voltmeter.
Helpful?           0
The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell/battery when the circuit is open (no-load condition).
Helpful?           0
The voltage of a battery when there is no load attached ( not receiving or delivering energy). This measurement is best taken when the battery has been at rest for at least 6 hours.
Helpful?           0
The voltage of a battery when it is not delivering or receiving power.
Helpful?           0
The open circuit voltage is the voltage of an accumulator without external load. It is generally higher than the nominal voltage.
Helpful?           0
The voltage that a alternator or generator produces when it is NOT connected to a Load. See also: Alternator, Generator, Load
Helpful?           0
refers to the voltage difference of two points in a circuit when the two points are electrically disconnected from each other.
Helpful?           0
In a welding plant ready for welding, the voltage between two output terminals which are carrying no current.
Helpful?           0
The DC voltage generated by a photovoltaic detector when connected to a high impedance load.
Helpful?           0
The voltage between terminals of a battery without any load.
Helpful?           0
The maximum voltage produced by an illuminated photovoltaic cell, module, or array with no load connected. This value will increase as the temperature of the PV material decreases.
