Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
error
(1) manifestation of a fault at logical level. For example, a physical short or break may result in logical error of stuck-at-0 or stuck-at-1 state of some signal in the considered circuit.
(2) a discrepancy between a computed, observed, or measured value or condition and the true, specified, or theoretically correct value or condition.

ferroresonance
a resonant phenomenon involving inductance that varies with saturation. It can occur in a system through the interaction of the system capacitance with the inductance of, for example, that of an open-circuited transformer. Ferroresonance resembles, to some extent, the normal resonance that occurs wherever L-C circuits are encountered. If the capacitance is appreciable, ferroresonance can be sustaining or result in a limited over voltage enough to damage the cable or the transformer itself.
ferroresonant transformer
a transformer that is designed to operate as a tuned circuit by resonating at a particular frequency.
station control error
in economic dispatch studies, the difference between the desired generation of all plants in a control area and the actual generation of those plants.
