A computer locks up. Lights flicker.
A motor overheats.
These, and many other symptoms, can present
themselves in any facility. They’re often
considered minor or even normal—assumed
to be the result of normal wear, minor bugs,
or equipment aging. But too often, the real
cause is poor power quality.
Power quality problems can be serious
and very costly:
•
Downtime
•
Data loss
•
Products damaged during production
•
Excess energy consumption
•
Additional expense in maintenance, equipment
repairs, and equipment replacement
Are power quality problems damaging your
business—or your customer’s?

How to see everything
your electrical system
may be hiding.
What are the hidden problems?
If you have experienced any of the top five
warning signs, you could be the victim of
one or more of these repeat offenders:
•
Voltage dips and swells—typically caused
by large loads starting up or shutting down;
can damage computers, electronic controls,
and lamps
•
Harmonic distortion—alteration in current
frequency cycles; can cause heat-related
problems in motors and transformers,
plus problems with circuit breakers, fuses,
and relays
•
Voltage unbalance—significant differences
in phase voltages of more than 2
%; typically
causes motors and transformers to overheat
•
Flicker—cyclic voltage dips; causes lights to
flicker: more a threat to employee productivity
than to equipment
•
Transients—brief, sharp voltage increases
caused by equipment switching on or off,
capacitor switching, and lightning; can lock
up computers, burn out circuit boards, and
damage electrical insulation
These conditions are usually within the facility
itself and therefore your responsibility, not the
electrical supplier’s. We can help you identify
them, fix them, and avoid them in the future
through proper prevention and maintenance.
