Eliminate costly equipment degradation and unexpected production downtime caused by electrical instability, harmonic distortion, or poor power factor. Use the inquiry form to request a quotation for an on-site power quality survey.
Power Quality Survey
Description
Survey Parameters and Monitored Data
- Voltage (V) & Current (A): Monitoring for dips, swells and stability.
- Real Power (kW), Apparent Power (kVA), & Reactive Power (kVAR): Analysis of your power consumption and energy efficiency.
- Power Factor (PF): Identification of opportunities to optimise usage and reduce utility surcharges.
- Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Measurement of harmonics being introduced by non-linear loads.
- Individual Harmonic Components: Harmonic frequency profile to help pinpoint the source of problematic distortion.
Compliance and Statutory Benchmarks
All data is benchmarked against UK and international engineering standards. Our reports evaluate your installation against BS EN 50160 (characteristics of voltage and frequency supplied by public networks) and global harmonic limits established by IEEE-519 and IEC 61000-3-12 to ensure your compliance.
Survey Framework
Pre-survey technical consultation. We conduct an initial discussion to identify your specific areas of concern, such as erratic machine behavior, harmonic distortion or high reactive power costs.
Installation of the the analysis equipment to capture power quality measurements.
Professional power quality analysers are used to capture a comprehensive range of parameters during the survey period to provide an overview of the how your installation operates over a typical operational week.
Comprehensive data analysis and delivery of the report. The measured power quality data is processed against industry benchmarks to provide a baseline indication of your background harmonics, highlighting issues and providing actionable recommendations for improvement.
