Power Fluctuations

Common Problems faced due to Power Fluctuations


Power failure: defined as a total loss of input voltage.
Surge: defined as a momentary or sustained increase in the mains voltage.
Sag: defined as a momentary or sustained reduction in input voltage.
Spikes: defined as a brief high voltage excursion.
Noise: defined as a high frequency transient or oscillation, usually injected into the line by
nearby equipment.
Frequency instability: defined as temporary changes in the mains frequency.
Harmonic distortion: defined as a departure from the ideal sinusoidal waveform expected on
the line.
Effects of Power Discrepancies
The power delivered to the electronics devices, computer and appliances like Cyberoam is stable and
constant, in theory of course. In real life, it doesn't work that way. Often power discrepancies occur
when the normal flow of electricity is interrupted, and then started again, or there was an occurrence
that something sends excess electrical energy into the system. Any number of events, from lightning
strikes to power failures, can cause power surges. Even though surges usually last only milliseconds,
that high voltage can exceed the withstand voltage of the insulating layers inside the integrated circuit
chips and burn the inside of the electronic device.
How to Protect Against Power Surges?
We recommend the use of following devices / appliances to protect your electronic equipments
against power surges. These recommendations can be implemented in isolation or in permutation and
combination as per the users choice and desertion.
We recommend:
1. Power Stabilizer: There are two types of stabilizer available in the market.
a. Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT) based Static Voltage Controller (stabilizer).
b. Servo based Voltage Controller
Both type of stabilizer takes care of the voltage regulations, power spikes, transients and
frequency and they provides correction in two cycle.
2. Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS): It is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency
power to an electronic appliance when the input power source, typically the utility mains,
fails. The UPS gives you a crucial window of opportunity to remedy a situation when
there are interruptions in the power supply. UPS units range in size from units designed
to protect a single computer without a video monitor (around 200 VA rating) to large units
powering entire data centers, buildings, or even cities.
The general categories of modern UPS systems are on-line, line-interactive or standby.
The run-time for a UPS depends on the type and size of batteries and rate of discharge,
and the efficiency of the inverter. Manufacturers supply run-time rating in minutes for
packaged UPS systems. Larger systems (such as for data centers) require detailed
calculation of the load, inverter efficiency, and battery characteristics to ensure the
required endurance is attained.
3. Surge Protector: A surge protector is one piece of standard equipment that you will buy
when you buy expensive electrical gadgets. A standard surge protector passes the
electrical current along from the outlet to a number of electrical and electronic devices
plugged into the power strip. If the voltage from the outlet surges or spikes -- rises above
the accepted level -- the surge protector diverts the extra electricity into the outlet's
grounding wire.

As a backup, some surge protectors also have a built-in fuse. A fuse is a resistor that can
easily conduct current as long as the current is below a certain level. If the current
increases above the acceptable level, the heat caused by the resistance burns the fuse,
thereby cutting off the circuit.
