Common Voltage Disturbances

A variety of issues can cause a problem with your electrical service − what we call “a voltage disturbance.”

Here are the typical challenges CPS Energy must manage to keep your electric power up and running:

Transmission line problem caused by animals, weather, unforeseen equipment failure
Voltage disturbance on one distribution line affects an adjacent distribution line
Substation circuit breaker opens and closes momentarily
Severe weather
Equipment failure or tree damage to conductor wires
A vehicle hits distribution poles
In addition, heavy equipment, appliances and other issues can cause an electrical failure in a home or business
