POWER QUALITY
Businesses today invest a lot in their infrastructure, including the power required to keep all their electrical equipment running. While budgets for electricity and ways to secure adequate suppliers or reduce energy consumption is a hot topic among businesses, ensuring that their power source is both dependable and clean can sometimes be an afterthought.
Today, energy demands vary, there are energy using loads that cause disturbances on the grid, resulting in a deviation of voltage from specified parameters. A number of industries suffer from poor power quality which not only lead to a rise of energy and production disturbances but also higher energy costs. In this case, sensitive equipment ends up being the usual victims of poor power quality.
What is Power Quality?
Power quality is the ability of electrical equipment to consume the energy supplied to it. A number of power quality issues including electrical harmonics, poor power factor, voltage instability and imbalance can impact the efficiency of an electrical equipment. Some of the consequences include:
Effects of Bad Power Quality
Bad power quality caused by power sags, surges, and outages is not only common, but it can negatively impact factory production plants, data centers, sensitive medical equipment and etc in a number of ways. It can reduce the speed of production in businesses, damage sensitive equipment, and can impact efficiency and increase costs.
Leaving your infrastructure defenseless against such exposure is often a bad idea and that’s why planning and deploying a robust protection solution is absolutely vital for any business.
Common Types of Power Disturbance
An unstable energy load not only causes electrical and production disturbances, it also wastes energy. Some of the common types of power disturbance which you may encounter is as following:
Better Power Quality Management
