Veranstaltungstechniker FA key terms
Veranstaltungstechniker FA · Get comfortable with the vocabulary.
- Load path
The sequence of actual connected components and supports transmitting relevant actions through a structure, with every interface requiring suitable evidence.
- Static model
A stated representation of equilibrium under defined loads and constraints, distinct from a complete dynamic or operational rigging assessment.
- Bridle angle
The defined angle of a sling leg relative to a stated reference, which changes the relation between supported force and leg tension.
- Working load limit
The rated permitted load under specified equipment configuration and conditions, not a universal capacity inferred from appearance alone.
- Center of gravity
The point representing the distribution of mass for the stated body and gravity model, relevant to balance and support reactions.
- Combined load case
An actual combination of relevant actions requiring an applicable assessment basis rather than arbitrary subtraction of separate ratings.
- Illuminance
Luminous flux incident per surface area under the stated conditions, distinct from source intensity, total flux or electrical consumption.
- Fixture footprint
The number of consecutive control data slots used by the selected fixture personality, distinct from a console-channel count.
- DMX universe
A defined control-data grouping with its start-code and data-slot structure, not automatically a count of independently controlled fixtures.
- Phase balance
A relationship among actual phase loads under a specified model, which does not automatically eliminate nonlinear harmonic neutral currents.
- Power factor
The ratio of active to apparent power under the relevant definition, requiring appropriate treatment of actual waveform and phase conditions.
- Protective coordination
The selection and relationship of protective functions for the actual installation and faults, not permission to raise settings after unexplained trips.
- Exclusion zone
A controlled area restricting access to relevant hazards under the actual work plan rather than an informal suggestion to stand elsewhere.
- Stop criterion
A defined condition requiring a controlled pause or response under the actual plan, communicated before the event or task.
- Protective function
A designed measure such as interlocking, isolation or fault disconnection whose purpose must not be defeated for convenience.
- Atmospheric hazard
An actual air-condition exposure such as oxygen displacement requiring appropriate assessment rather than inference from absence of visible smoke.
- Competent escalation
Referral of an unresolved hazardous condition to the actual responsible competent process, with controlled work status and useful evidence.
- Residual risk
The remaining relevant risk after implemented measures under the actual situation, not proof that the task is risk-free.
- Technical rider
The stated technical request or accepted arrangement whose actual status, feasibility and obligations depend on the project and agreement.
- Patch list
A controlled mapping of actual inputs, outputs, addresses or channels used to connect the intended signal and control system.
- Load-in sequence
The planned order and dependencies of delivery and setup activities, coordinated with access, resources and actual safe methods.
- Contingency reserve
An explicitly defined allowance for uncertainty, distinct from known committed costs or a universal mandatory budget percentage.
- Document revision
An identified version of a plan or list whose status and distribution matter to actual consistent implementation.
- Technical debrief
A structured review of actual outcomes, faults, costs and near misses to identify evidence-based improvements after the production.
