Event

Symptoms
Adverse Effects
Transient
overvoltage
(impulse)
Transient overvoltage
occurs due to contact
failure with circuit
breakers, magnets, or
relays.
The sudden voltage
change (spike)
causes damage
to devices’ power
supplies or causes
devices to reset.
Inrush
current
Instantaneous large
current (surge) flows
through devices with
a motor, incandescent
lamp, or flat capacitor
when they are
powered on.
Welding of power
switch contacts, fuse
melting, circuit breaker
tripping, adverse
effects on rectifier
circuit, or fluctuations
in power supply
voltage may occur.
Unbalance
rate
Heavy loading on specific
phase occurs due to
fluctuations in the power
line load or unbalanced
extension of installations.
This causes distortions
in voltage and current
waveforms, dips, and
negative sequence
voltages.
Unbalanced voltage
and current, motor
instability, negative
sequence voltages,
and harmonics will
occur.
Flicker
The load on a particular
phase increases due
to changes in the load
connected to each
of the phases of the
power line or use of
unbalanced installation
equipment. This causes
voltage dips.
Unbalanced voltage,
negative sequence
voltage, harmonics,
and the like occur
causing motor
instability, circuit
breaker tripping,
and heating due to
transformer overload.
