Abstract:
1. A method comprising: selectively operating at least one component of a system in an ON state, wherein the system receives power from an electrical grid; selectively detecting a fault event of the electrical grid in response to at least one of (i) an amount of current drawn by the at least one component and (ii) a voltage of power received by the at least one component; in response to detecting the fault event, switching the at least one component from the ON state to a second state, wherein the at least one component consumes less power in the second state than in the ON state; determining a first delay period according to a random process; identifying an apparent conclusion of the fault event; and in response to the apparent conclusion of the fault, waiting for the first delay period before switching the at least one component back to the ON state.
