Dips and Interruptions
Voltage dips are defined as sudden reduction in voltage to lower voltages for a short period of time, followed by recovery to the original voltage.

Dips and Interruptions
Short interruptions are defined as a disappearance of AC voltage for a short period of time, typically not exceeding 1 minute, followed by recovery to the original voltage. Short interruptions can be considered as voltage dips to zero volts.

Dips and Interruptions
Voltage variations are gradual changes of the supply voltage to a higher or lower value than the rated voltage. The duration can be short or long.

Dips and Interruptions
• Stroke of lightning on • High voltage • Medium Voltage • Low voltage
• Short circuit • High voltage • Medium Voltage • Low voltage
• Cable braking • Starting large motors, transformers
Voltage dips can’t be avoided and will propagate through the grid
