Every low-power shutdown test pairs this with drain: a structure is shut down by low power only when it is Powered=yes and its Power= is negative. Setting one without the other leaves the structure running through any shortfall. What low power costs traces which of its functions each test stops.

Power=-150
Powered=yes

The value has two effects that need no drain. It qualifies the structure to be switched off, since both the power cursor and the Turn off building trigger action accept a structure that either drains power or is Powered=yes. And a CloakGenerator=yes structure left at Powered=no keeps rebuilding its field during a shortfall instead of waiting for full power.
