Glossary of Power-Related Terms

Audio Noise: In the audio-frequency range, any electrical disturbance introduced from a source extraneous to the signal.

Alternating Current (AC): A flow of electricity which reaches maximum positive polarity in one direction, decreases to zero, then reverses itself and reaches maximum negative polarity in the opposite direction. This cycle is repeated continuously.

Amp: A common abbreviation for Ampere, a unit of electrical current or rate of flow of electrons.

CSA: A common abbreviation for Canadian Standards Association. CSA has developed over 200 standards, including several for electrical and electronic products.

Clean Power™: Noise filtering designed exclusively for Monster Power products by renowned engineer/inventor Richard Marsh. Filters out unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and component-generated noise, so components plugged into a PowerCenter can deliver maximum performance without noise entering their signal path.

Conducted Noise: Any unwanted electrical signal conducted on the power lines supplying the equipment.

Current: The movement of electrons through a conductor.

Digital Noise: In the digital-frequency range, any electrical disturbance introduced from a source extraneous to the signal.

Direct Current (DC): A flow of continuous electric current in positive or negative polarity.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Electromagnetic phenomena in which various appliances and components generate interference that can contribute to a degradation in performance of an electronic receiver or system.
