What is the maximum duration that an interruption can last, as indicated in power events?

The interval defined for different power events characterizes the nature of electrical disturbances and interruptions. In the context of power quality, an interruption is classified as the complete loss of voltage for a brief period. The maximum duration for which an interruption can last is typically defined as 8 milliseconds.

This timing aligns with industry standards for recognizing temporary interruptions, which allows for the assessment of equipment susceptibility and the development of strategies to mitigate their effects. Interruptions longer than this duration may be considered as outages, which require different handling and response strategies. Understanding this duration is critical for designing systems that are resilient to disturbances and for ensuring the reliability of power supply to sensitive equipment.
