description Voltage sag is one off severe power quality issues. Its effect can cause huge losses to industries which using sensitive equipment like microcontroller and computer. To minimize these losses, industrial customers need to understand how power quality is impacting their system and how to mitigate its effects. Voltage sag happens frequently and it causes by random and unpredictable factors.
