GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AC Electricity - Alternating
current also known as household
power.
Air Compressor - Pumps air to
and builds air pressure in an air
system.
Air Dryer - Cools, lters and
dries the air delivered by an air
compressor.
Air Governor - Controls the
operation of the air compressor
by constantly monitoring air
pressure in the supply tank of
the air system. The air governor
initiates the unload cycle when
the cut-out pressure is reached.
Alternating Current (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 (if equipped),
generator power, or household
power.
Ampere (Amp) - The measure
of electron ow rate (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
specied voltage, usually 10.5
Volts DC.
Chassis Battery - Battery used
to power the 12 Volt accessories
and start the 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

campgrounds. It is called city
water because water is pulled
from a central source (like in
a city) and not the fresh water
tank.
Compressor Load Cycle -
The time during which the
air compressor is building air
pressure in an air system.
Compressor Unload Cycle -
The time during which the air
compressor is idling and is not
building air pressure in an air
system.
Curbside - This refers to the
side of the motorhome that
faces the curb when it is parked.
Often called the door side or the
passenger side.
