NOTE The arrows indicate the most important state transitions caused by credible events. Recovery transitions, in opposite directions, are effected by operator intervention.

Note 1 to entry: In an emergency state, urgent actions (such as load shedding; reducing voltage; and starting emergency generators) are required to prevent equipment damage and/or further degradation of system state.

Note 2 to entry: Although loss of load can occur, it is not a criterion for an emergency state.

Note 3 to entry: This entry was numbered 191-22-05 in IEC 60050-191:1990.
