Sources of Voltage Fluctuations
Voltage fluctuations, sometimes called glitches, affect the quality of electrical power. Common sources of these
disturbances are:
• Fluctuations occurring within the facility’s distribution system
• Utility service low-voltage conditions (such as sags or brownouts)
• Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels
• Wide and rapid variations in input power frequency
• Electrical storms
• Large inductive sources (such as motors and welders)
• Faults in the distribution system wiring (such as loose connections)
• Microwave, radar, radio, or cell phone transmissions
