Glossary of Electrical Terms in English — A
There is currently a certain gap in a number of areas of lexicography. This is especially true for the relatively narrow areas of electrical engineering. This raises the problem of finding exact equivalents in Russian when translating technical documentation. This dictionary contains the most common words and phrases from English to Russian.
The purpose of this dictionary is to prepare students enrolled in electrical engineering and electrical engineers to work independently on original scientific and technical literature, to work with sites in English and to develop the ability to conduct a conversation using the above terms.
