`Introduction
`Since the first edition in 1941 of the American Standard Definitions of Electrical Terms, the work now
`known as IEEE Std 100, The IEEE Standard Dictionary ofElectrical and Electronics Terms, has evolved
`into the unique compendium of terms that it is today.
`The current edition includes all terms defined in approved IEEE slandard.~. through D-.-eenihcr lmlfi Tr-nns
`are czttegorizcd by their technical subject area. They are also associated with the standardsorpublications
`in which they currently appear. In some cases, terms from withdrawn standards are included when no
`current source can be found. Earlier editions of IEEE Std 100 included terms from sources other than
`lEEli standards, such as technical journals, books. or conference proceedings. These tenns have been
`maintained for the sake of consistency and their sources are listc.d with the standards in the back of the
`The practice ofdefining termsvaries fromstandard to standard. Many workinggroups that write standards
`prefer to work with existing definitions, while others choose to write their own. Thus terms may have
`several similar, altliough not identical, definitions. Definitions have been combined wherever it has been
`possible to do so by making only minor editorial changes. Otherwise. they lt:-we been left as written in
`Users of l}:'iEl:'. Std 100 occasionally comment on the surprising omission of a_particLtlar tenn commonly
`used in an electrical or electronics field. This occurs because the terms in IEEE Std 100 represent only
`those defined in the existing or past body of IEEE standards. To respond to this, some working groups
`obtain atithorisuttion to create a glossary of terms used in their field. All existing, approved standard
`glossa1'it:s have been incorporated into this edition of IEEE Std 100. 'nc1uding the most current glossaries
`of temts for computers and power engineering.
`IEEE working groups are encouragedto refertoi1EEE Std 100 whendeveloping new orrevisedstandards
`to avoid redundancy. They are also encouraged to investigate deficiencies in standard terms and create
`standard glossaries to alleviate them.
