English term or phrase: wire sizing
The power drawn by electrical equipment is expressed in Watts (W) or VoltAmps (VA). Watts is the “real power” drawn by the equipment, whereas VoltAmps are called the "apparent power" and are the product of the voltage applied to the equipment times the current drawn by the equipment. The Watt rating determines the actual power purchased from your hydro compnay and the heat loading generated by the equipment. The VA rating is used for wire sizing and circuit breakers. The VA and Watt ratings for some types of electrical loads, like incandescent light bulbs, are identical. However, for computer equipment the Watt and VA ratings can differ significantly, with the VA rating always being equal to or larger than the Watt rating. The ratio of the Watt to VA rating is called the "Power Factor". This is typically shown as a numberical value for example 0.8 or 80%. Power Factor Corrected, of PFC, supplies were introduced during the mid to late 1990’s with the purpose of providing equal Watt and VoltAmp output. Most computer equipment though still use power supplies in which the the Watt rating is 60- 80% of the VoltAmp rating.

калибрование (калибровка) проволоки


Explanation:
- в данном случае речь идет о калибровке проволоки, исходя из номинальной вольт-амперной нагрузки.
Диаметр (сечение) проволоки, разумеется, тоже имеет к этому отношение.

уточнение - сорри, в данном случае, наверное, не проволока, а провод...
