Voltage
Voltage (potential difference): The voltage between two points in an electrical circuit is a measure of the potential difference or the force, that is pushing electrons between these two points. It is analogous to water pressure in a water system. Voltage is measured in volts and is directly proportional to the current and resistance of a circuit: V=IR, where V = potential difference in volts, I = current in amperes (amps) and R = resistance in ohms. This is Ohm’s law.

Voltage Reduction Unit
A lighting unit that has a smoothing circuit and resistor. The unit lights the 24VDC LED lamp by applying 110 or 220 VAC/VDC directly to the lamp terminals.

Voltage Relay
A relay that detects when the voltage in an AC circuit reaches a preset voltage. There are two basic types of voltage relay operation: overvoltage detection and undervoltage detection. Voltage relays are used to detect rapid increases in voltages due to a generator failure, low voltages caused by power interruptions or short circuits, etc.
