While we’ve
enjoyed enormous benefits from the evolution
of solid state technology, the fact is
that the microelectronics at the heart of
that technology requires clean power. Faster
speeds and lower voltages mean
that there is less and less tolerance for
anything less than quality power.
Power Quality (PQ)
covers a wide range of issues, from voltage
disturbances like sags, swells,
outages and transients, to current
harmonics, to performance wiring and
grounding.
The symptoms of poor
PQ include intermittent lock-ups and resets,
corrupted data, premature equipment failure,
overheating of components for no apparent
cause, etc.
The ultimate cost
is in downtime, decreased productivity and
frustrated personnel.
The following pages show
some of the power quality problems you might be faced with today and how we can
help solve these problems.
