VN stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of VN across different fields and industries.
The term used in GATT negotiations for a country's agreement to bind a tariff or otherwise reduce import restrictions, usually in return for comparable "concessions" by other countries. Use of this term, with its connotation of loss, for what economic theory suggests is often a source of gain, is part of what has been called GATT-Speak.
Vehicle Body StylesVoltage Negative (VN) is an abbreviation used in electrical and electronic systems to indicate the negative potential or polarity of a voltage source relative to a defined reference point, usually ground. It is commonly marked in circuit diagrams, power supply units, and measurement instruments to distinguish between positive (VP or V+) and negative (VN or V–) rails.
In practice, VN is essential for the operation of many electronic devices, especially those requiring dual power supplies, such as operational amplifiers, analog circuits, and communication systems. By providing a negative voltage rail, circuits can process signals that swing both above and below ground, enabling accurate amplification and signal conditioning. Proper identification of VN in schematics and equipment ensures safety, prevents miswiring, and maintains stable performance in sensitive electrical systems.
