DEFINITION of 'Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-GAAP'. The common set of accounting principles, standards and procedures that companies use to compile their financial statements. GAAP are a combination of authoritative standards (set by policy boards) and simply the commonly accepted ways of recording and reporting accounting information.
A wye connection is generally a four-wire system, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor, whereas a delta connection is a three-wire system, comprising three line conductors. For a perfectly-balanced load (e.g. a three-phase motor), a wye-connected system can dispense with the neutral conductor.he delta connection provides three line conductors, whereas the star connection provides three line conductors plus a neutral conductor. To obtain a single-phase supply, the load is connected either between any two line conductors, or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.
k<1. delta Go is the standard-state free energy. When this is negative, the reaction is spontaneous, therefore k is greater than one because more product is produced. When delta Go is positive, the reaction is not spontaneous because it requires the input of energy at standard conditions. K is therefore less than one because the reaction favors the reactants.
