Power Quality Information

Why Is Clean Power So Important?

Modern semiconductor technology is a tool for achieving productivity and profit. The irony is as this technology increases in sophistication, so does it's susceptibility to power disturbances.
It's designed to run on clean electrical power.
Clean power for technology is like clean fuel for cars.

Where Do Power Quality Problems Start?

Disturbances can be generated external to a facility.
Disturbances can be generated internal to a facility.

External Origins:

Lightning
Grid Switching
Power Factor Correction
Inductive Load Switching
Utility Fault Clearing

What must the utility provide?

Constant Voltage
All the current needed (breaker limited)
Protection for people and traditional loads (lights and motors) through grounding procedures.

Internal Origins:

Internal disturbances are typically more numerous and destructive.
They are created by all the various electrical loads in your facility.
The disturbance sources are also closer to sensitive devices which limits the damping effect of wiring.

Generic Power Problems:

Blackouts
Brownouts
Sags
Surges
Impulses
Frequency Changes
Noise
Harmonics
Power Factor Problems

Finding Solutions:

Electrical disturbances are nothing more than electrical power in an unusable or undesirable form.
All electrical power, both usable and the unusable kind, obeys certain physical laws.
These laws were defined by physicists Ohm, Kirchoff, and others.

Common Sense Law #1-You Can't Change the Laws of Physics

Solving power problems requires an acceptance of physical laws and how they affect the behavior of power disturbances. To solve a power problem, you must use a device that is capable of affecting the behavior of the power disturbance in the desired way.
