This is an interruption of service.
An interruption in service. Also referred to as a blackout.
a long-term power interruption, also known as blackout. From the utility perspective, an outage occurs when a component of the electric power system is not available to provide its normal function (i.e., the generator cannot supply power). Normally, utility companies do not include short power interruptions (grid switching) in their outage history and may only count power interruptions with duration longer than 1 to 5 minutes.
a temporary suspension of operation (as of computers); "there will be a network outage from 8 to 10 a.m."
he unavailability of electrical equipment; could be planned for maintenance or unplanned (forced) by weather or equipment failures.
There are two primary types of outages - 1) Forced Outage: The removal from service availability of a generating unit, transmission line or other facility for emergency reasons or a condition in which the equipment is unavailable due to unanticipated failure; and Planned Outage: Removing equipment from service availability for inspection and/or general overhaul of major equipment. A planned outage does not usually result in power supply failure, although planned outages during critical peak demand periods may place stress upon a system and lead to load shedding or forced outages.
A long-term loss of power.
Complete loss of electrical power.
Similar to a power outage, it's when an auction site goes down temporarily because of technical problems.
Periods, both planned and unexpected, during which power system facilities (generating unit, transmission line or other facilities) cease to provide generation, transmission or the distribution of power.
A temporary suspension or interruption of operation, especially of electric power, occurring when a power plant, transmission or distribution line, or other facility on the electric power system is not operating.
A planned or unplanned operational interruption of part of a power system (e.g. generating unit, transmission or distribution lines).
The period during which a generating unit, transmission line, or other facility is out of service.
The unavailability of electrical equipment; could be planned or forced.
Definition: A temporary suspension of operation of services.
An outage is a long-term power interruption. From the utility perspective, an outage occurs when a component of the distribution system is not abailable to provide its normal function (i.e., the generator cannot supply power). Normally, utility companies do not include short power interruptions (grid switching) in their classification of outage history and also may only count power interruptions with a duration longer than 1 to 5 minutes.
Interruption of service to an electric consumer because a power plant, transmission line, distribution line or other facility is not operating.
Loss of electrical service because of an out-of-service transmission or distribution power line or equipment.
The interruption of automated processing systems, support services or essential business operations that may result in the company's inability to provide service for some period of time.
A temporary suspension of electricity generation at a power plant.
An outage occurs when a fuel cell or other power source which is producing electricity fails.
An interruption of electric service that is temporary (minutes or hours) and affects a relatively small area (buildings or city blocks). For more information see "blackout". ()
A condition where there is loss of power supplied to the end user.
is a failure or interruption of electric service, usually caused by damage to power lines or other equipment, as in a storm.
A discontinuance of electric power supply.
Time during which service is unavailable from a generating unit, transmission line, or other facility.
