mains/household (domestic) power/electrical power supply Explanation: But I prefer MAINS Definitions of mains on the Web: Refers to the electricity supplied by a main source, rather than a battery. Early domestic mains was Direct Current (DC) which was eventually superseded world-wide by alternating current (AC). www.vintage-technology.info/pages/frontpages/glossary.htm # The utility AC power distribution wires. www.snaptec.com.au/technicalnotes/glossary.htm The term mains usually refers to the general purpose AC electrical power supply (as in "I've connected the appliance to the mains"). The term is not usually used in the US and Canada, where it is known as household, or domestic power. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_(electric_power) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2006-04-23 14:31:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- more alternatives: POWER LINE + POWER GRID (please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_line) |
