Voltage Fluctuation: Causes & Solutions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Voltage fluctuations in home power supply primarily cause flickering lights, a phenomenon resulting from rapid variations in load current magnitude. These fluctuations can be attributed to various loads that exhibit continuous changes in current. Understanding the impact of these variations is crucial for homeowners experiencing flicker.

What is te reason of voltage fluctuation in our home power supply?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
We can just see flicker in our home. Indeed The term flicker is derived from the impact of the voltage fluctuation on lamps such that they are perceived by the human eye to flicker. Loads that can exhibit continuous, rapid variations in the load current magnitude can cause voltage variations that are often referred to as flicker.
