A - Ampere :
A measurement of the flow of current. One ampere is equal to the electrical force of one Volt acting across the resistance of one Ohm.
AC - Alternator Current :
Electricity as produced by the electrical components (utility). The unique characteristics of this form of electricity is that it reverses direction at regular intervals. For example, 120 V AC 60 Hz power reverses flow 60 times a second, hence the rating 60 Hz (cycles). In Europe is typically 50 Hz, in the USA, parts of South America and the Caribbean 60 Hz(120 volt current).
AGT - Advanced Generator Technology :
All Panda generators, which are constructed as permanent electro-magnetic generators, are made from ceramic "Hightech" electro magnetic materials. These materials are also known as "rare earth". Fischer Panda GmbH, especially uses the high quality material Niodym.
AGT-DC :
Panda AGT generator high frequency permanent electro-magnetic synchronous generator (12 - 24 pole). This type of generator is especially effective. AC is transformed to DC by means of an especially effective rectifier. The aggregate is especially effective for charging batteries.
These special generators form the backbone of a "battery-supported" system and supply the battery with 12, 24 or 48 Volts. At the same time, normal alternating current can be supplied from either the battery or direct from the AGT Generator via a 230V AC Inverter. Panda AGT generator high frequency permanent electro-magnetic synchronous generator (12 - 24 pole). This type of generator is especially effective. AC is transformed to DC by means of an especially effective rectifier. These generators are especially effective for charging batteries.
AGT-HD - AGT Heavy Duty :
These are aggregates for heavy duty electric motors. They are extremely compact aggregates, especially made for driving heavy duty electric motors. A frequency converter is necessary to drive motors. A weight saving of 50% and also 50% space can be gained by using this technology.
AH -Ampere Hour :
One amp of electrical current flowing for one hour. Expresses the relationship between current (A) and time (Ohms law A = VR).
ASB-Automatic Start Booster :
An electronically controlled high starting current in the control box. Suitable for all Panda asynchronous generators, to compensate the high starting current of electric motors (i.e air conditioning units etc). ASB should always be chosen if a generator is to be driven by an inductive load (electric motors, air-conditioning units etc). All generators from Panda 6 upwards are fitted, as a rule, with ASB as standard.
