3 Must-Haves for Power Quality
Protect equipment and reduce downtime with three power quality essentials: transient voltage mitigation, harmonic control, and proper grounding. Learn how a layered approach improves reliability, efficiency, and asset life.
Transformers Do Not Stop Transient Voltage
Transformers are a staple in electrical systems, stepping voltage up or down as needed. But when it comes to one of the most prevalent power quality threats—transient overvoltage—transformers fall short. Here’s why that matters more than one might think.
Persistent Equipment Failures Despite SPD Usage: Unveiling Potential Causes
SPDs are essential components in safeguarding electrical systems from damaging voltage spikes and surges. However, their effectiveness can be compromised by a variety of factors, including oversizing, improper grounding, and insufficient protection. Moreover, issues such as TOV, voltage sags, spikes, harmonics, and frequency variations present additional risks that must be addressed through a comprehensive approach to power quality management.
Power Quality Monitoring Devices: Recording Transient Voltage
As interest in power quality grows, many electrical and electronic equipment managers are using power quality monitoring (PQM) devices. The challenge lies in the fact that most PQM devices are not designed to capture transient voltage events.
