Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

IEEE 1159-2019 defines momentary and temporary interruptions as short-duration rms variations with complete loss of voltage on one or more phase conductors, distinguished only by the duration band each occupies within the short-duration category, and notes that the reclosing practice of the protective device sets the duration of a fault-caused interruption.
