I would like to draw your attention to an IEC Standard on
"International Electrotechnical Vocabulary". It is published
as IEC Std. 50 and available from your National Committee, IEC, or
directly from Central Office in Geneva. The IEV divided into
many chapters.
For your reference, IEC, International Electrotechnical Commission
covers international standards for all electrotechnical fields.
