dirty power

Contaminated electrical current

Dirty power is electricity with fluctuations, surges, or interference that deviates from a clean, stable waveform.

These irregularities can damage sensitive electronics, cause equipment malfunctions, or reduce efficiency.

Sources include faulty wiring, nearby motors, or unstable grid supply.

The studio installed a power conditioner to eliminate dirty power affecting the recording equipment.
