Abstract
A description is given of the causes of voltage sags in industrial plants, their impact on equipment operation, and possible solutions. The definition proposed focuses on system faults as the major cause of voltage sags. The sensitivity of different types of industrial equipment, including adjustable speed drive controls, programmable logic controllers, and motor contactors, is analyzed. Available methods of power conditioning for sensitive equipment are also described
