Are you talking about in a residential or a commercial setting? It sounds like the location you’re talking about possibly has a backup generator that kicks in when the main power supply fails. A little more information on what you’re talking about is needed.

Most of the time the power going out is just a circuit breaker being tripped which doesn’t have the ability to reset itself so in that instance it wouldn’t turn itself back on quickly like you’re describing.
