spike A dramatic and sudden surge in the voltage being delivered to a device.
surge suppressor A power strip that contains a metal oxide variable resistor (varistor)—sometimes abbreviated MOV—that can absorb any excess power during a surge or spike, preventing it from reaching the plugged-in devices.
joule The energy required to sustain one watt for one second; commonly used to measure the capability of a surge suppressor.
power sag A temporary under-voltage condition in the power being delivered to a device.
power conditioner A device that includes the features of a surge suppressor, but also contains a feature that bolsters the voltage to connected devices when the voltage coming from the AC outlet sags.
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) A combination surge suppressor, power conditioner, and battery backup that handles power surges in the same way that a surge suppressor does but has the added bonus of being able to power devices for a few minutes when a complete power outage occurs.
