A.C. Resistance
|
The total resistance offered by a device in an alternating current circuit due to inductive and capacitive effects, as well as the direct current resistance
|
|
Abrasion resistance
|
Ability of a wire, cable or material to resist surface wear
|
|
Accelerated Aging
|
A test in which voltage, temperature, etc, are increased above normal operating values to obtain observable deterioration in a relatively short period of time. The plotted results give expected service life under normal conditions.
