PCC
Point of Common Coupling.
The PCC is the point in the electrical power supply system where
the responsibility of the utility changes to the industrial customer.
The utility is responsible for providing clean voltage and current
with respect to harmonic distortion up to the PCC. The industrial
customer is responsible not to distort voltage and current by its
electrical systems.
Line voltage
RMS line to line voltage of the main power supply of the input.
PCB
