A variety of issues can cause a problem with your electrical service − what we call “a voltage disturbance.”

Here are the typical challenges CPS Energy must manage to keep your electric power up and running:

• Transmission line problem caused by animals, weather, unforeseen equipment failure
• Voltage disturbance on one distribution line affects an adjacent distribution line
• Substation circuit breaker opens and closes momentarily
• Severe weather
• Equipment failure or tree damage to conductor wires
• A vehicle hits distribution poles
• In addition, heavy equipment, appliances and other issues can cause an electrical failure in a home or business
