PWC

PWC is an acronym which stands for Power, Weight, and CPU. These three requirements form the core of Battleframe customization in Firefall since the Milestone Update.

Battleframes provide Weight capacity, but consume some Power. Backpacks provide Power capacity, but have significant Weight. CPU is provided by nanite 'cores' suspended in a gel. All other pieces of equipment require various amounts of each constraint before they can be equipped.
