GLOSSARY OF TERMS

AC Electricity -

Alternating current also known as household power.

Ampere (Amp) -

The unit of measure of electron flow rate of current through a circuit.

Ampere-hour (Amp-hr. AH) -

A unit of measure for a battery electrical storage capacity, obtained by

multiplying the current in amperes by the time in hours of discharge. (Example: A battery which
delivers 5 amperes for 20 hours, delivers 5 amperes times 20 hours, or 100 Amp-Hr. of capacity.)

ANSI -

American National Standards Institute.

ASTM

- American Society for Testing and Materials.

Black Water -

Term associated with the sewage holding tank. The toilet drains directly into this tank.

CCA -

Cold Cranking Amperage is the amount of current a battery can deliver for 30 seconds at 0° F

without dropping below a specified voltage, usually 10.5 Volts DC.

Chassis Battery -

Powers chassis 12 Volt accessories and starts engine.

Circuit -

An electric circuit is the path of an electric current. A closed circuit has a complete path. An

open circuit has a broken or disconnected path.

City Water -

A term associated with the water supply that you hook-up to at campgrounds. It is called

city water because water is pulled from a central source (like in a city) and not the fresh water tank.

Curbside -

This refers to the side of the motorhome which faces the curb when it is parked. Often called

the door side or the passenger’s side.

Current -

The rate of flow of electricity or the movement rate of electrons along a conductor. It is

comparable to the flow of a stream of water. The unit of measure for current is the ampere.

Current - Alternating (AC) -

A current that varies periodically in magnitude and direction. A battery

does not deliver alternating current. Also referred to as shore power, utility power, inverter power,
generator power, etc.

Current - Direct (DC) -

Power that is stored in a battery bank or supplied by photovoltaics, alternator,

chargers and DC generators. Direct current is also known as battery power.
