Abstract

Sags and swells are the most common types of power quality disturbances. Millions of dollars are lost in productivity each year in the United States due to these disturbances. A simple understanding of the causes will allow for effective solutions to mitigating these disturbances in most applications. The definitions of sags and swells have evolved over the past fifteen years, as have the power quality instruments that measure them. Sags, or dips as they are referred to in the European communities, were initially any reduction in voltage below a user- defined low limit for between one cycle and 2.55 seconds. Swells, originally referred to as surges, were similar to sags, except that the voltage exceeded a user-defined high limit.
