Worked at a factory (1996 - 2003) that had a feed from two power companies. 
Only remember two power outages and one of those was a dropped phase. (3 
phase machines do *not* like this!) Possible this was the case? One would 
think whatever they spent big bucks on could recognize this as well and 
switch, but perhaps they consider it too rare of an event to bother with.

Had a cheapish ~$100 UPS here when I was in school because of a few on-line 
classes. As it got older I noticed that momentary power glitches only kicked 
*my* computer off. Wife, son & daughter's computer as well as the firewall 
all stayed up. UPS went buy-buy after that:)
