*AKA* –>
‘power cut‘
‘power blackout‘
‘power failure’
.
-a power outage is a ‘short-term’ (+ ‘long-term’?) loss of ‘electric power’ to a particular area-
.
(there are many causes of ‘power failures’ in an ‘electricity network’)
.
(examples of these ’causes’ include…)
*’faults’ at ‘power stations’*
*damage to ‘electric transmission lines’*
*damage to ‘sub-stations’*
*damage to other parts of the ‘distribution system’*
*a ‘short circuit’*
*the ‘overloading’ of ‘electricity mains’*
.
(‘power failures’ are particularly critical at sites where the ‘environment’ + ‘public safety’ are ‘at risk’)
.
(institutions such as…)
‘hospitals’
‘sewage treatment plants’
‘mines’
‘shelters’
….and ‘the like’…
(…will usually have ‘backup power sources’ (such as ‘standby generators’), which will automatically ‘start up’ when ‘electrical power’ is lost)
.
(other ‘critical systems’ – such as ‘tele-communication’ – are also required to have ’emergency power’)
(‘required’ by ‘the government’)
(the ‘battery room’ of a ‘telephone exchange’ usually has arrays of ‘lead–acid batteries’ for ‘backup’ + also a ‘socket’ for connecting a ‘generator’ during extended periods of ‘outage’)
