Dictionary of Electrical Engineering

Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.

short circuit
a condition on the power system where energized conductors come in contact (or generate an arc by coming in close proximity) with each other or with ground, allowing (typically large) fault currents to flow.
short circuit admittance
the admittance into an N-port device when the remaining ports are terminated in short circuits. For port 1 of a 2-port device, it is the input admittance into port 1 when port 2 is shorted.
short circuit gain-bandwidth product
a measure of the frequency response capability of an electronic circuit. When applied to bipolar circuits, it is nominally the signal frequency at which the magnitude of the current
gain degrades to one.
