undervoltage
Below normal voltage
Undervoltage is an electrical condition where voltage falls below the normal or required level for proper operation.
Equipment designed for 120 volts receiving only 100 volts experiences undervoltage.
Sustained undervoltage can damage motors and electronics or cause them to malfunction.
The term appears in technical contexts: undervoltage protection, undervoltage relay, The circuit breaker tripped due to undervoltage.
