C. Short interruptions
The experimental tests with short interruptions or micro-
interruptions, did not demonstrate phenomenon or behavior
different to the one obtained with the three-phase voltage sags.

power, a smooth voltage fall takes place showing also an
important reduction of speed, being followed by high
overvoltages previous to the voltage restoration. The
overvoltage surge takes place with higher reactive power,
what leads to the damage of the capacitors. The same
phenomenon but in smaller scale is presented with three phase
voltage sags.
