Power disruptions can cost businesses hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Devices that correct or eliminate power quality issues like sags, swells, and transients are important to reduce costs. Power quality issues are caused by events on the utility grid or within a facility. Proper protection devices and backup power sources can help mitigate these issues and improve equipment performance. A study estimated that power interruptions cost the US economy $80 billion annually, with most of the costs borne by commercial and industrial sectors due to downtime of electronic equipment.
