How to Ensure Good Power Quality at All Times

Power quality includes three aspects: voltage, frequency, and waveform. When power quality is good, it exhibits a steady voltage supply, steady alternating current/AC frequency, and a smooth waveform of the voltage curve.

To check and ensure that the power quality is good at all times, invest in energy saving techniques such as power quality monitoring and power factor correction.

Disturbances and fluctuations in power supply are caused by a number of factors, such as:

• Load changes
• Atmospheric phenomena and other environmental conditions
• Motor failure
• Electrical or electronic equipment failure
• Overheating of transformers, switch gear, and cabling
• Nuisance tripping of circuit breakers or fuses
• Unstable equipment operation
• High energy usage and costs

Benefits of Power Factor Correction:

• The technical benefits: It improves efficiency and reduction in power demand, resulting in a reduction in the load on switching gear and cables, reduced costs to the consumer, and support for more load.
• Commercial benefits: There are reduced system losses and less capital cost for companies. In addition, there are large savings on electricity since there are no charges for excess reactive power. Another benefit is that the transmission and distribution equipment and systems run more efficiently and last longer.
• Environmental benefits:It helps reduce CO2 emissions.

Benefits of Power Quality Monitoring:

All devices which use electricity can malfunction due to continuous power fluctuations. This can lead to unnecessary expenditure as you may either need to buy them again or constantly fix/maintain them. With the help of power quality monitoring, you can learn how to manage your power supply and the longevity of all items that use electricity.

• It ensures ease and comfort running big industrial equipment
• It helps all workplaces to run properly and smoothly
• It prevents malfunction of electrical equipment
