Proposed chapter 9 for predicting voltage sags (dips) in revision to IEEE Std 493, the Gold Book

Voltage sags, also known as dips, are increasingly important to industrial reliability. Modern process controls are often sensitive to voltage sags. The combination of a voltage sag and sensitive equipment may cause significant production outages. Less sensitive equipment may be available at a premium price, but the designer must know the sag characteristics of the electric system to make the best choices between reliability and cost. This proposed chapter offers a way to predict voltage sag performance without long term monitoring and before plants are constructed. The analysis technique proposed for a new chapter 9 in the next revision of IEEE std 493 is shown.<<ETX>>
