Major Problems Related To Power Quality And Solutions To Them

When you own a service-oriented or a production-oriented industry, to obtain the best operational efficiency, power quality and reliability plays a significant role in manufacturing quality products and services. The industry is increasingly relying on power for the continual addition of electronic equipment and digital controllers, which cannot work smoothly without access to a quality power supply. It is important to consider multiple power quality situations to avoid massive loss in opportunity as well as revenue, equipment failure, and electrical accidents like fire.

Most equipment in an industry requires power, and that is exactly why electronic appliances need to be properly maintained through maintenance and uninterrupted power supply to work properly. The major issues related to power quality include acute power shortage, frequency variation, generation of spikes, missing cycles, blackouts, voltage fluctuations, impulse surges, earth leakage current, and brownouts. These can often be avoided when care is used with an appropriate power quality method like the power factor correction, so businesses do not see power-related problems with productivity and other losses.

Coming up with the right solution can only be possible if you have ample knowledge about the types of power quality issues, their causes, and what type of technical support is needed. Here are a few tips that can be extremely useful in improving the power quality:
  • To ensure that the quality of power is maintained, the grounding and bonding of a computer-based industrial system needs to be carefully laid down.
  • Check if the wiring is in the proper place, and look for improper or loose connections, reversed polarity, open neutral, or floating grounds.
  • Make use of power conditioning equipment like voltage optimization systems, transient voltage surge suppressors, noise filters, harmonic filters, isolations transformers, UPS, generators, dynamic voltage restorer, voltage regulators, and many more.
