-====== Electrical terms ======
-  * **I** - current in Amps.  The //I// comes from the archaic term //intensity//.
-  * **Isc** - Amps when short circuited;  this is when your [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panels]] are connected only to themselves.  This is the highest current your panels can theoretically produce.
-  * **Setpoint** - a value used to place a limit or border on a particular operation.  If your refrigerator is set hold 40F temperatures then //40F is the setpoint//.  If your charger floats at 13.2v then //13.2v is the Vfloat setpoint//.  Setpoints may be preset by the manufacturer or configured by the user.
-  * **V** - Volts
-  * **Vabs** - [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|charge controller]] voltage setpoint for [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption_stage|Absorption stage]]
-  * Vbatt - actual voltage of the battery bank.
-  * **Vfloat** - charge controller voltage setpoint for [[electrical:12v:charging#float_stage|Float stage]]
-  * **Vmp** - voltage at which a panel makes **m**axiumum **p**ower (watts)
-  * **Voc** - volts in open circuit; when your [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panels]] are not connected to anything.  This is the highest voltage your panels can theoretically produce.
-  * **Vpanel** - voltage the controller is running the panel[s] at
-  * **W** - power in Watts
