What is another word for brownouts?
Pronunciation: [bɹˈa͡ʊna͡ʊts] (IPA) 
Brownouts are defined as a temporary reduction in voltage or electrical power in an area. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe this phenomenon, including partial blackouts, dimming, flickering, sag, dip, and voltage drop. These terms refer to the same situation in which the electricity supply is not completely lost but is insufficient to power appliances and other electrical equipment. Brownouts can be caused by grid overloads, extreme weather conditions, or equipment failures. Although they are less severe than blackouts, brownouts can still cause significant inconvenience and damage to electronic devices, making it important to have backup power sources and surge protectors.
