A momentary low voltage is a sag. A synonym would be a dip.
Risks to electrical power supply:
POWER FAILURE
Blackout: complete loss of electrical power
Fault: momentary power outage
POWER DEGRADATION
Brownout: an intentional reduction of voltage by the power company.
Sag/dip: a short period of low voltage
POWER EXCESS
Surge: Prolonged rise in voltage
Spike: Momentary High Voltage
In-rush current: the initial surge of current required by a load before it reaches normal operation.
– Transient: line noise or disturbance is superimposed on the supply circuit and can cause fluctuations in electrical power
