Chapter 2 - Definitions
2.1 Introduction
The electronic power community is pervaded by terms that have no scientific definition. One of the purposes of this chapter is to eliminate the use of those words. Another purpose is to define those terms that aid in the understanding of the concepts within this recommended practice.

Where possible, definitions were obtained from IEEE Std 100-1996. The second choice was to use other appropriate sources, and the final choice was to use a new definition that conveys a common understanding for the word as used in the context of this recommended practice.

The remainder of this chapter is divided into three parts. First, an alphabetical listing of definitions is provided in 2.2. The reader is referred to IEEE Std 100-1996 for all words not listed herein. The second part (2.3) list those terms that have been deliberately avoided in this document because of generally accepted single technical definition. These words find common use in discussing distribution-related power problems, but tend not to convey significant technical meaning. The third part (2.4) lists abbreviations that are employed throughout this recommended practice.
