General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Sources of Voltage Fluctuations Voltage fluctuations, sometimes called glitches, affect the quality of electrical power. Common sources of these disturbances are: • Fluctuations occurring within the facility's distribution system • Utility service low-voltage conditions (such as sags or brownouts) • Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels • Wide and rapid variations in input power frequency • Electrical storms • Large inductive sources (such as motors and welders) • Faults in the distribution system wiring (such as loose connections) • Microwave, radar, radio, or cell phone transmissions 16 Chapter 2
