I am no expert at all, but it is like the opposite of power-surge. So the electrical power is reduced which may mean that your electrical devices and appliances may be damaged if a brown-out occurs. It is also related to a 'black-out' when all power is lost (black-outs are safer for your electronics and appliances because mostly it is just like turning them off at the wall socket).

You should have a power protection board that protects you from brown-outs (low voltage) and power-surge (high voltage).
