Ensuring Equipment Resilience: Navigating Voltage Sags with IEEE 1668
This white paper explores the prevalence and impact of voltage sags on industrial operations, emphasizing that while utilities cannot eliminate all sags, equipment can be designed for greater immunity. The IEEE 1668 standard provides comprehensive guidelines for voltage sag ride-through performance, including testing protocols, sag characterization, and compatibility requirements. By adhering to these standards, equipment owners and manufacturers can significantly reduce costly disruptions and improve operational reliability.
Key topics include:
- What is the IEEE Standard 1668-2017?
- Background on Voltage Sags
- Voltage Sag Basics
- Characteristics of Voltage Sags
- Why There Will Always Be Some Sags
- IEEE 1668 and the SEMI F47 Curve
Why utilities should care:
Adopting IEEE 1668 standards for voltage sag immunity enables reduced downtime, fewer equipment failures, and lower operational costs. Enhanced equipment compatibility with real-world voltage conditions leads to improved reliability and customer satisfaction.
