SERIES II 16 AMP POWER CONDITIONERS
9
DEFINITIONS
SPIKE: A pulse of energy on the power line.
Spikes can have voltages as high as 6000
volts. Though they are usually of very short
duration, their energy can be considerable,
enough to damage sensitive solid-state
components in audio and computer equipment.
Spikes can also foul switch contacts and
degrade wiring insulation. They are an
unavoidable component of electric power. They
are caused unpredictably by electric motors
(on the premises or outside) switching on or off,
or by utility company maintenance operations,
lightning strikes and other factors. Spikes (also
called surges or transients) are absorbed by
special components in the SMP+ circuitry to
maintain safe voltage levels and protect your
equipment.
RFI/EMI INTERFERENCE: Noise from RFI
(Radio Frequency Interference) or EMI (Electro
Magnetic Interference) involves lower voltages
and less energy than is found in spikes, but it
is continuous rather than transient in nature.
It is not likely to cause damage, but it can
certainly be annoying, producing static in audio
circuits, “snow” on video screens, or garbled
data in computers. Noise can be introduced
into AC lines by nearby radio transmitters,
certain kinds of lighting, electric motors, and
other sources. Because noise occurs at higher
frequencies than the 50 or 60 Hz AC line, it can
be effectively reduced by low-pass filters.
