A semiconductor plant experienced a problem where the LV side main circuit breaker was tripped by voltage dips. As a result, power to all connected loads was interrupted and manufacturing processes were halted. The main cause of this problem was the unsuitable design of the under-voltage protection system. When a voltage dip occurred it was misinterpreted as an under-voltage event by the protection system, which erroneously tripped the circuit breaker.
