Why you need a Power Quality Audit

Is your business suffering from unexplained electrical faults, failures or power spikes? Perhaps you have noticed a spike in your power bill? One explanation to these issues could be that your business is receiving poor power quality.

What is power quality?

Power quality is the electric power that drives an electrical device and the device’s ability to function properly with the electric power it is provided. Poor voltage waveforms can lead to unnecessary and costly disruptions for electronically controlled equipment.

What factors can influence power quality?

There are several issues that can have an effect on the power quality at your business. These include:

• momentary power interruptions;
• electrical noise;
• extended power interruptions;
• voltage sags and surges;
• harmonic distortion;
• high-speed transients; and
• lightning damage.
  

Conducting a Power Quality Audit will identify the issues that are causing poor power quality in your business. A Power Quality Audit can provide the data that is required to design an appropriate solution to tackle the issues.

What is involved in a Power Quality Audit?

During a Power Quality Audit, our power quality experts will assess your facilities’ wiring, loading, line balance, polarity ground, harmonic distortion and more.
