There are lots of causes - a short in your home (breaker went, or fuse went to clear the fault), temporary overload (something using lots of power turned on), a short on the electric system outside your home (breakers or fuses may have operated), overload on the system, sudden loss of generation capacity, icing, faulty equipment (perhaps an LTC went haywire), etc.

What are temporary reductions in voltage called?
I will assume this is a question on AC power into a building. That is referred to as a brown out.
In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
Can you convert an ac fridge to dc?
My husband said without hesitation AC!! DC power comes from batteries, AC power comes from electricity((generating power))....
Why is voltage regulation of dc line is better than ac line?
in dc circiuts only resistors are responsible for voltage drop. where as in ac circuits inductances and capacitances are also responsible for voltage drop in addition to that of ressistors
What causes sudden voltage drop in houses incase of ac?
Often, this is due to a sudden increase in the load current due, for example, to the the starting current of a motor which has been switched on -this causes a temporary increase in the voltage drop along the line, which is often noticed when the lights in a property temporarily dim. Other causes could be due to external sources, such as a neighbour operating welding equipment.
What is a brownout in computer terminology?
A temporary drop in AC power

Do monsters drop ac or drop items that sell for ac in aq worlds?
Yes. Jack sprats in the graveyard area drops pile of bones. It's a house item that sells for 25 ac
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
What bosses in aqw drop ac items?
there is no way to get ac item from a moster/boss you have to buy
Function of AC motor?
To convert ac electric power into mechanical power.
What is a temporary source of electric?
A generator can be used as a temporary source of power
How do you calculate 3ph AC motor power?
How do you calculate 3ph AC motor power?
How a Seminar on Why can not you store AC power in battery like DC power?
WE can not change the AC power because AC power has two magnitudes one positive and the another one is negative.when we store the AC power in positive half cycle it store the energy and in the negative half cycles it discharge the energy so it is not possible for store the AC power like DC power
Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
What happen if 230V AC bulb is connected to 110 V DC?
A lamp will only operate at its rated power at its rated voltage. So if you connected a 230-V lamp to a 110-V supply, its brightness would be very low. It does not matter whether the supply is AC or DC; a lamp would have the same brilliance at 230 V (AC) as at 230 V (DC).As a rule of thumb for fixed-value resistances, a 10% drop in voltage results in a 19% drop in power.
Is Singapore's power grid AC or DC?
AC
