  "term": "Rolling brownout",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A temporary, intentional reduction in voltage in an electrical power supply system by the utility provider, affecting a sequence of different areas. Unlike a blackout, which is a total loss of power, a brownout only lowers the voltage, causing lights to dim and potentially damaging sensitive electronic equipment. The voltage reduction is typically in the range of 5 to 10 percent of the nominal system voltage.",
