English term

derating

GBK English to Greek Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Definition from Martek Power Abbott, Inc.:
Reducing one operating parameter to compensate for changes in other parameters to maintain reliability. For example, the reduction in output power at elevated temperatures.
Example sentences:
Two things can be inferred from these ratings: the maximum storage temperature is equal to the derated temperature. Also, the slope of the derating can be used to calculate an equivalent thermal resistance in degrees C per watt. The difference between the no-load and maximum full load temperature is less than or equal to the temperature rise at full load. (P-N Designs, Inc.)
Most dc/c manufacturers have design-derating guidelines, but sometimes designers use guidelines they have developed themselves. As engineers, we derate components to improve their reliability by decreasing component stress. (Hearst Business Communications, Inc)
A derating chart is often used, with derating starting at 70oC. Since parameters are application dependent, power de-rating curves or charts should be considered general rather than absolute, and only used as a guideline. (interfacebus.com)

υποβιβασμός ικανότητος

Definition from own experience or research:
Derating is the technique employed in power electrical and electronic devices wherein the devices are operated at less than their rated maximum power dissipation taking into consideration the case/body temperature, ambient temperature and the type of cooling mechanism used.
Example sentences:
οι ηλεκτρονικές συσκευές έχουν μέγιστη απόδοση σε κάποια θερμοκρασία. Όσο η θερμοκρασία αυξάνεται η απόδοση ελαττώνεται δηλαδή η ικανότητά τους υποβιβάζεται π.χ. αν ένα εξάρτημα έχει 100watt απόδοση στούς 25C στούς 65C θα έχει 40watts απόδοση. (wikipedia)

Ευχαριστώ Μιχάλη
disagree achronosx : υποβιβασμός απόδοσης όπως αδώ http://www.ilviokat.gr/files/pdf/energy/inverters/inverter2/...

hDerating μεταφράζεται ως υποβιβασμός ικανότητος και μείωση απόδοσης Λεξ.Πανταζή. Σε μία συσκευή μπορείς να πης για απόδοση στα ηλεκρονικά κυκλώματα όμως όπως transistor capacitors κλπ όχι Δες εδώ ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst-case_circuit_analysis
