English term

limited value

English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Note) When the disturbances fluctuate at or close to the limit values, make observations for 15 seconds at the shortest.
Neglect instantaneous and isolated high values and record the highest value other than those.
For the disturbance with the margin of 20 dB or below the ???limited values???, record the interference, at least, at 6 points.
12.4.1.6 Perform steps 12.4.1.4-12.4.1.5 for each operation mode of the EUT.

In the above, is limited value can be used?

limit value

No, Asker, these two terms cannot be interchanged at will!

'limit value' means some value that represents a limit — for example, a speed limit on roads.

'limited value' means some value to which something has been deliberately (or unavoidably) limited — as, for example, if you were using the 'speed limiter' on your car so that it wouldn't exceed the set 'limited value' and this not break the speed limit.

threshold value

I would use "threshold value" for the highest (lowest) value within the normal range.

Sorry, but a quick search showed "limit value" being used in various websites and it seems to be an appropriate term.

Thank you!
neutral Tony M : 'threshold' is confusing, since it usually tends to imply a minimum value, whereas 'limit' value implies both upper and lower limits.
