overload in electric power
"The company does not guarantee perfect system functionality in case of drops or overloads in electric power" :) Something like that?

voltage spike, overvoltage
In electrical engineering, spikes are fast, short duration electrical transients in voltage (voltage spikes), current (current spike), or transferred energy (energy spikes) in an electrical circuit.
Fast, short duration electrical transients (overvoltages) in the electric potential of a circuit are typically caused by
lightning strikes
power outages
tripped circuit breakers
short circuits
power transitions in other large equipment on the same power line
malfunctions caused by the power company
electromagnetic pulses (EMP) with electromagnetic energy distributed typically up to the 100 kHz and 1 MHz frequency range.
Inductive spikes
