A Change in Frequency
Stability
Cause
Resulting from generator or small co-generation sites being
loaded and unloaded.
Effect
Frequency variation can cause erratic operation, data loss,
system crashes and equipment damage
Solution
Protect your critical
equipment with a UPS!
Frequency Definition: The repetition of cycles measured in Hz. 60 Hz is the
standard frequency in the U.S.. 60 Hz = 60 cycles per second.
Frequency Variation: A frequency variation involves a change in frequency of
more than 3Hz from the normally stable utility frequency of 60Hz. This may be
caused by erratic operation of emergency generators or unstable frequency power
sources. For sensitive electronic equipment, the result can be data corruption,
hard drive crash, keyboard lockup and program failure.
