minimum load

A release may also have a minimum load rating, required for reliable operation of its mechanism.

The minimum load remains fairly low in absolute resistance: 16.7 Ω.

Handloaders use the data to develop a load by starting with minimum loads and carefully working up.

To qualify as an Academic Scholar, a student should have a minimum load of 18 units for the semester.

Often there is a minimum load that will be delivered, and an extra charge for part loads, so ring wound the suppliers before ordering.

Investigators determined eventually that this design supported only 60 percent of the minimum load required by Kansas City building codes.

Most have a rated minimum load impedance.

Some regulators require a minimum load.

Recommended efficiency was increased to 80% (with at least 70% required), and the 12 V minimum load requirement was lowered.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union the factory worked with a minimum load, resulting in idle equipment, and at last it saw bankruptcy.

Minimum loads or actions are specified in these building codes for types of structures, geographic locations, usage and materials of construction.

The impact from the R-40 missile threw the aircraft laterally off its flight path between fifty and sixty degrees with a resulting 6 g minimum load.

Additionally, floors in laboratories have a minimum load capacity of 100 pounds per square foot, compared with 70 pounds to 80 pounds per square foot in office structures.

With the load on the fourth-floor beams doubled, Havens' proposed design could bear only 30 percent of the mandated minimum load (as opposed to 60 percent for the original design).

In contrast, the quantity of ammunition carried by the Australians had been insufficient, and following the battle the minimum load was increased to 140 rounds per rifle and 500 for each machine-gun.

The bus board, which can be customised with a range of optional modules, includes a number of high performance processors and co-processors designed to place a minimum load on the host personal computer processor.

For a constant-current supply, the above equation uses currents instead of voltages, and the maximum and minimum load values are when the largest and smallest specified voltage across the load are produced.

The presence of a bleeder also guarantees a minimum load on the power source, which can help reduce the range of voltage change (regulation) when the normal load is changing and there is no active regulator.

Under the present system of operation, a plant furnishing the electric power for street railways must be large enough to supply current for the maximum load during "rush hours," although much of the machinery may be lying idle and unproductive in the hours of minimum load.

In packet switched systems where the load and the throughput always are equal (where packet loss does not occur), the maximum throughput may be defined as the minimum load in bit/s that causes the delivery time (the latency) to become unstable and increase towards infinity.

At least the specified minimum load required by the PSU should be present; the standard does not specify operation without load, and a conforming PSU may shut down, output incorrect voltages, or otherwise malfunction, but will not be hazardous or damaged.
