Areas of Victoria had a very brief power outage last Thursday at 9.05am. Power came back after some 10 seconds.

I may be mistaken but I suspect it was an intentional (or predictable) break that was caused for some technical reason.

Short though it was, can the competent authorities give notice of such outages on the media so that consumers can switch off their computers and similar devices in order to prevent damage?
