The difference among supply source, the Mains and SUPPLY APPARATUS
The apparatus are fed from a supply source other than the MAINS or from a SUPPLY APPARATUS, and which contain a LASER SYSTEM or produce an internal OPERATING VOLTAGE greater than 4000 V (peak), this standard applies as far as applicable.
The above words is from Standard UL6500 of US.. I can't catch the differences among " a supply source", " the MAINS" and " a SUPPLY APPRATUS".
I know the MAINS is fed from Electric Power Department of US.. It's the 110V in US.
BTW, can I use the word "catch" instead of "understand"?

I'm not an electrician or engineer, Soochu, but 'supply source' is the general term, and 'the mains' (as you said) is from the infrastructure, while a 'supply apparatus' would likely be something like a private generator or a windmill or a battery. Yes, you can say 'catch' instead of 'understand', but 'catching' is a more shallow process than 'understanding', so should be saved for brief bits of information input.
