Do "ampacity" and "amperage" mean the same thing?

[–] Dabundis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not exactly. Amperage is "amount of current", ampacity is "ability to carry current"

[–] techMayhem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So ampacity is fusion of amperage and capacity?

Also called a portmanteau, like internet, malware, or genome.
