Power Quality
Power quality is a major concern for today’s businesses. Most problems occur because of inadequately protected electronic equipment that sends electrical noise through the system, improper wiring or grounding, or imbalanced loads. Five general categories of power irregularities include:
- Over voltage
- Under voltage
- Outages
- Electric Noise
- Harmonic distortion
Such disturbances in the power supply can adversely affect sensitive electronic devices, motors, processing operations and HVAC equipment. Quite simply, computers can lose memory and electrical equipment can sustain permanent damage if not properly protected. With electronic equipment now being used in virtually every aspect of business operations, higher standards of power quality have become a necessity.
Power Quality issues can be an unseen predator at your site that can have catastrophic consequences when left unchecked. For this reason, it is important to audit your site to identify any all all issues prior to experiencing preventable downtime.
