REFERENCES 83Class C fire Class AorBfire amid energized electrical
wiring or equipment, which precludes the use of extin-
guishing agents of a conductive nature (e.g., water or
foam).
Clean agent Gaseous fire suppressant that technically
leaves no residue; residues will result when the agent
breaks down under the heat of combustion.
Combustible Capable of burning at normal ambient
temperature (perhaps without a flame).
Degausserorbulk eraser Alternating current-powered
device for removing magnetism (Degausseris often ap-
plied specifically to wands that rid cathode ray tube
monitors of problems displaying colors. The latter term
indicates that data is wiped en masse rather than se-
quentially.)
Electrical noise electromagnetic interference, espe-
cially interference conducted through the power input,
or minorspikes.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) Undesired elec-
trical anomalies (imperfections in the desired wave-
form) due to externally originating electromagnetic en-
ergy, either conducted or radiated.
Flammable Capable of burning with a flame; for liq-
uids, having a flash point below 38◦C (100◦F).
Halonorhalogenated agent Clean agentformed when
one or more atoms of the halogen series (including
bromine and fluorine) replace hydrogen atoms in a hy-
drocarbon (e.g., methane).
Heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) Equip-
ment for maintaining environmental air characteris-
tics suitable for humans and equipment.
Line filter Device for “conditioning” a primary power
source (i.e., removing electrical noise).
Radio frequency interference (RFI) Sometimes used
as a synonym forEMI,but technically the subset of
EMI due to energy in the “radio” range (which includes
frequencies also classified as microwave energy).
Sagorbrownout Drop in voltage.
Smoke Gaseous, particulate, and aerosol by-products of
(imperfect) combustion.
Spikeortransientortransient voltage surge (TVS)
Momentary (less than 1 cycle) increase in voltage.
Surge Sudden increase in electrical current; also used
forspike,because the two often arrive together.
Tempest or compromising emissions Electromag-
netic emanations from electrical equipment that carry
recoverable information, popularly referred to by the
code word for a U.S. government program to combat
the problem.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) Device to pro-
vide battery power as a backup in case the primary
source of power failures.CROSS REFERENCES
