Abstract
This paper describes the causes of voltage sags in industrial plants, their impacts on equipment operation, and possible solutions. The defi nition proposed focuses on system faults as the major cause of voltage sags. The sensitivity of different types of industrial equipment, inc luding adjustable speed drive controls, programmable logic controllers , and motor contactors, is analyzed. Available methods of power condit ioning for this sensitive equipment are also described.
