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.
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.
The voltage between the terminals of a cell or voltage when the circuit is open (off-load condition).
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.
(VOC) Voltage produced by a Photovoltaic cell with no load applied when the cell is exposed to standard insolation conditions, measured with a voltmeter.
The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell/battery when the circuit is open (no-load condition).
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.
The voltage of a battery when it is not delivering or receiving power.
The open circuit voltage is the voltage of an accumulator without external load. It is generally higher than the nominal voltage.
The voltage that a alternator or generator produces when it is NOT connected to a Load. See also: Alternator, Generator, Load
refers to the voltage difference of two points in a circuit when the two points are electrically disconnected from each other.
In a welding plant ready for welding, the voltage between two output terminals which are carrying no current.
The DC voltage generated by a photovoltaic detector when connected to a high impedance load.
The voltage between terminals of a battery without any load.
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.
