Open-circuit voltage or OCV is the difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when there is no external load connected, i.e. the circuit is broken or open.
Open-circuit voltage (abbreviated as OCV or VOC ) is the difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when disconnected from any circuit. There is no external load connected. No external electric current flows between the terminals. It is sometimes given the symbol Voc. In network analysis this voltage is also known as the ...
The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell; i.e. the voltage when the circuit is open (no-load condition). In the case solar cell or solar module, for example, the open-circuit voltage is the maximum possible voltage across the cell or module; i.e., the voltage across the cell in su...
The maximum possible voltage across a photovoltaic cell; the voltage across the cell in sunlight when no current is flowing.
voltage of a cell or battery when the discharge current is zero
the maximum voltage between the terminals of a PV cell or module when only connected by a voltmeter, so no current is flowing. Symbol is Voc.
(Battery) The voltage of a cell or battery when it is not delivering or receiving power.
In a welding plant ready for welding, the voltage between two output terminals which are carrying no current.
The voltage between the terminals of a battery or power source when no current is flowing. See also: Battery, Voltage.
The voltage that a alternator or generator produces when it is NOT connected to a Load.
The maximum possible voltage across a photovoltaic cell; the voltage across the cell in sunlight when no current is flowing.
