In this month's issue of our newsletter we will continue our series "Removing Ambiguity Within Power Quality Terminology" and, in particular, Power Interruptions. 

It could be weeks before Florida officials know what left millions of people in the dark a couple of weeks back. The outage was triggered by a glitch at a substation, but power officials don't know how the glitch happened.  As many as three million homes and businesses lost power along a 300-mile stretch of the Florida peninsula.

Unfortunately, different terminology has been used to describe power interruptions creating confusion and making it difficult to discuss, study and propose accurate solutions to resolve power quality problems. 

This FL outage certainly can be categorized as a "Power Interruption" but further categorization ranging from Instantaneous, Momentary, and Temporary to Sustained Interruption is required to properly assess how a solution may have minimized or eliminated downtime for your home or business.
