A brownout, a sag, or a dip is really a drop in voltage in an electrical power supply. The term brownout comes from the dimming experienced by lighting when the voltage sags. A voltage reduction may be an effect of disruption of an electrical grid, or may occasionally be imposed in an effort to reduce load and prevent a blackout. In the past, power quality was thought to be a power utility companies problem but this isn't true. In almost every case, its outside the control of the utility company since these circumstances are beyond their control such as lightning, sudden line or transformer failures, or extremely high demands on the electrical network grid (brownouts). Its becoming increasing difficult for these utilities company to provide high quality power with newer medical devices due
