This paper describes the causes of voltage sags in industrial plant, their impacts 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 this sensitive equipment are also described.
