Panel

A collection of modules mechanically fastened together, wired, and designed to provide a field installable unit.

Alternating-Current Photovoltaic Module

A complete, environmentally protected unit consisting of solar cells, optics, inverter, and other components, exclusive of tracker, designed to generate ac power when exposed to sunlight.

Blocking Diode

A diode used to block reverse flow of current into a photovoltaic source circuit.

Wet-Niche Luminaire

A lighting fixture intended for installation in a forming shell mounted in a pool or fountain structure where the fixture will be completely surrounded by water.

Dry-Niche Luminaire

A lighting fixture intended for installation in the wall of a pool or fountain in a niche that is sealed against the entry of pool water.

Array

A mechanically integrated assembly of modules or panels with a support structure and foundation, tracker, and other components, as required, to form a direct-current power-producing unit.

Bipolar Photovoltaic Array

A photovoltaic array that has two outputs, each having opposite polarity to a common reference point or center tap.

Interactive System

A solar photovoltaic system that operates in parallel with or may deliver power to an electrical production and distribution network. For the purpose of this definition, an energy storage subsystem of a solar photovoltaic system, such as a battery, is not another electrical production source.

Stand-Alone System

A solar photovoltaic system that supplies power independently of an electrical production and distribution network.

Hybrid System

A system comprised of multiple power sources. These power sources may include photovoltaic, wind, micro-hydro generators, engine-driven generators, and others, but do not include electrical production and distribution network systems. Energy storage systems, such as batteries, do not constitute a power source for the purpose of this definition.

GFCI Type

All 15 and 20 ampere, single-phase, 230V receptacles located within 6000 mm of the inside walls of a pool shall be of ___________.

2.0 mm2

Bonding Conductor for Outline Lighting Systems shall be made with copper and and not smaller than ___________.

4300 mm

Clearance of Outline Lighting system Shall be least ______ above areas with access to vehicles unless protected from damage

40 mm

6000 mm

Contact conductor of Cranes and Hoist shall Supports along Runways shall be supported at intervals not exceeding ________.

900 mm

Cord-and-Plug Equipment other than storable pools, flexible cords shall have shall not exceed ______ in length.

750 mm

Cranes and Hoist Shall have a minimum of _____ to access to live parts where the controls are enclosed in cabinets, the door(s) shall either open at least 90 degrees or be removable.

Neon Tubing

Electric -discharge tubing manufactured into shapes that form letters , parts of letters, skeleton tubing, outline lighting, other decorative elements, or art forms, and filled with various inert gases.

6.00 mm

3.5 mm2

Equipment Grounding Conductor Size in Flexible Cords shall be made of copper not smaller than _________.

Charge Controller

Equipment that controls dc voltage or dc current, or both, used to charge a battery

Inverter

Equipment that is used to change voltage level or waveform, or both, of electrical energy [also known as a power conditioning unit (PCU) or power conversion system (PCS)] is a device that changes dc input to an ac output. Inverters may also function as battery chargers that use alte rnating current from another source and convert it into direct current for charging batteries.

Diversion Charge Controller

Equipment that regulates the charging process of a battery by diverting power from energy storage to DC or AC loads or to an interconnected utility service.

Flush Deck Box

If used on a lighting system operating at 15 volts or less, a ____________ shall be permitted

1500 mm, 3600 mm

Luminaires (Lighting Fixtures), Lighting Outlets, and Ceiling-Suspended (Paddle) Fans new outdoor installation clearance shall be ________ horizontally from the pool and of height not less than __________ above the maximum water level of the pool.

30 A

Neon Lamps shall not be rated to exceed ______.

Skeleton Tubing

Neon tubing that is itself the sign/outlines lighting and not attached to an enclosure.

50 Volts nominal

Operating Voltage at Dwelling Units of Storage batteries shall have the cells connected to operate at less than ________.

3000 mm
