Advantages for the End-User
The end-use customer benefits by reducing its risk, engineering efforts, while improving process efficiency.
Risk Avoidance
- End-use customers must monitor all aspects of their production process, including electric power, to control power quality.
- Electrical maintenance problems such as harmonics or loose connections can be detected by power quality monitors prior to equipment failure.
- Combined with a process monitoring system, the customer can identify the equipment that is most sensitive to voltage variations and take steps to apply power conditioning on a local level.
Examples of Power Quality Monitoring Applications
- Using power quality monitoring to develop power quality contracts.
- Evaluating system performance ~ power quality and reliability reporting.
- Using power quality monitoring to evaluate equipment performance.
- Detecting and solving problems with power quality monitoring.
Are you aware of the many instances where surges, sags and swell occur? These events can cause damage to machinery, computers and appliances.
