What are outages and blackouts?

What are outages and blackouts?

Storms and accidents are frequent causes of power loss. Faults in transmission infrastructure can also sometimes occur.


Equipment such as media servers, control / automation systems, computers, DVRs and gaming consoles containing hard disk drives are becoming core parts of our systems. They can all suffer information loss and even disk failure as a result of power outages.

Expensive projectors are particularly susceptible to damage from outages as the proper cool-down processes cannot occur resulting in the hot lamp overheating itself and surrounding circuitry.
