Hallo,

ich konnte zu der unten eingesternten Abkürzung bisher nichts finden. Danke im Voraus!

ATTENTION : Vérifier que les valeurs de fréquence et de tension du secteur d’alimentation électrique correspondent aux valeurs d'alimentation de l'attraction indiquées au paragraphe "Alimentation énergie électrique" et dans les annexes et que nous rappelons ici brièvement :
- tension nominale *(V c.a.)* : 380 V
- nombre de phases : 3 + neutre

Explanation:
Das erste "V" steht für das englische "Voltage". Das international genormte Symbol für Spannung lautet "U". Das zweite "V" steht für die Einheit Volt. "a.c." = alternating current, auf Französisch "courant alternatif (c.a.), auf Deutsch "Wechselstrom (WS). Um diese Vielfalt zu vereinheitlichen, wurde von der IEC (International Electrical Commission) ein einheitliches Symbol mit einem Sinuszeichen (~) eingeführt.

Area Electromagnetism / Electromagnetic concepts and quantities
IEV ref 121-11-27
Symbol U
en voltage
(electric) tension
scalar quantity equal to the line integral of the electric field strength E along a specific path linking two points a and b:
[Formel]
where ra and rb are the position vectors for a and b, respectively, and dr is the vector line element

Note 1 – In the case of an irrotational field strength, the voltage is independent of the path and equal to the negative of the electric potential difference between the two points:
[Formel]
Note 2 – The name "voltage", commonly used in the English language, is an exception from the principle that a quantity name should not refer to any name of unit.

Area Circuit theory / General
IEV ref 131-11-24
en alternating current
electric current that is a periodic function of time with a zero direct component or, by extension, a negligible direct component
Note – For the qualifier AC, see IEC 60050-151, 151-15-01.
fr courant alternatif, m
courant électrique qui est une fonction périodique du temps à composante continue nulle ou, par extension, à composante continue négligeable
Note – Pour le qualificatif AC, voir la CEI 60050-151, 151-15-01.
de Wechselstrom, m

Area Electrical and magnetic devices / Behaviour and use
IEV ref 151-15-01
en AC, qualifier
pertaining to alternating electric quantities such as voltage or current, to devices operated with these, or to quantities associated with these devices
Note 1 – The notation "AC" is preferred in English to the notation "a.c." which is an abbreviation of "alternating current" (see IEC 60050-131).
Note 2 – French language uses also the expression "courant alternatif" with an appropriate preposition such as "en", "de", "à" or "pour", or only the adjective "alternatif".
Note 3 – For the marking of electric equipment, either the notation AC (see IEC 61293) or the graphical symbol ~ (see IEC 60417 item 5032) may be used. Example: AC 500 V or ~ 500 V.
Note 4 – According to ISO 31-0 and IEC 60027-1, unit names and unit symbols shall not be qualified by "AC" as an attachment. Example: UAC = 500 V is correct, U = 500 VAC or U = 500 V AC are incorrect.
