Power fluctuations in the power grid – the causes
- Power fluctuations in the power grid, although rarely, occur, however, and to.
- Various reasons for these fluctuations may be responsible.
- The technique is referred to as "non-linear loads", which lead to these disorders.
- This means, for example, gas discharge lamps, anti-judge, dimmers, frequency converters, compact fluorescent lamps, or switching power light-emitting parts.
- However, since the 1. In January 2001, an EU regulation entered into force, and such confounding factors to be regulated and limited.
- Since then, interference and power fluctuations have become less frequent.

Power fluctuations in the power grid, and protection
- The consequences of such power fluctuations: the life of the equipment is reduced considerably.
- This can lead to defects or failures, depending on the extent of the fluctuations.
- However, you can protect against power fluctuations in the power grid.
- Install home surge protection connector.
- Thus connected devices are protected from Surges and power fluctuations ideal.
- To connect to such a plug, however, is only a device and not a power strip.
- Using specially designed multiple sockets with surge protection.
In the next practical tip we can tell you exactly what the AC actually is.
