Power Quality

 

It is important to know what effect the quality of the power on the electrical installation could have. 

 

Recordings on the load profile include:

  • Voltage

  • Current

  • Frequency

  • Power Factor

  • Harmonic & Transient distortions

  • Un-balance etc.

Typical effects of poor power quality include:

  • Reduction of efficiency of power utilization;

  • Premature aging of the electrical plant & components;

  • Plant mal-operation;

  • Overheating and failure of electric motors;

  • Overloading, overheating and failure of power factor correction capacitors. Resonance due to interaction of capacitors with harmonics;

  • Overloading and overheating of distribution transformers and neutral conductors

Huge savings can be made by eliminating the causes of the above deviation and distortions.
