MP133 – MP333 3kW high voltage charger modules
MPC35/37 Motive Power Controller type 35/37
neutral The fifth wire in a three phase supply
PCB
Printed circuit board used to mount and connect together
electronic components
phase
Identification of the 3 lines of electrical power that make a
3phase supply, referred to as A,B,C or 1,2,3
power factor
A measure of the effectiveness of an electrical device to
convert volt-amperes to watts, PF=1 is best
charger module
The core module that converts AC power into DC power
suitable for charging a battery
rectifier Another name for the charger module
reserve
Battery application where the batteries are generally on float
charge, only being discharged during AC power outages
reversed battery
Battery/charger must be connected positive/positive and
negative/negative, reversed connection will blow the fuses

SOC
State of charge, measure of the battery charge condition,
100% is fully charged
sq mm or mm²
Measure of the cross sectional area of an electrical cable,
large enough to carry the required current without overheating
sulphated
Battery plates have built up a hard sulphate layer which
prevents the battery charging and discharging properly
switched mode
Power conversion process using rapid turning on and off of a
regulating device to achieve high efficiency and small size
temp comp
Temperature compensation where the charging voltage is
adjusted for the ambient temperature operating conditions
termination When the charge cycle completes
timeout Timer used to protect against abnormal conditions
txt text file format
urgent alarm
Alarms that stops a charge from completing, battery may not
be charged, battery cannot be used
USB driver
Universal Serial Bus driver necessary to allow the host
computer to communicate with the controller
Vpc
Voltage per cell, total battery voltage divided by the number of
cells
